The last 72 hours have changed everything for our family.

After waking up Sunday in excruciating eye pain, Finley was seen by her retina and cornea specialists. What they discovered led to emergency eye surgery Monday—another surgery in a journey that has already included more than 25 procedures.

Doctors found an infection inside Finley’s eye, but one of the biggest questions remains unanswered: How did it get there?

During emergency surgery, antibiotics were injected directly into her eye and fluid was taken for cultures. Now, we wait. We wait to see what the cultures reveal. We wait to see if the antibiotics work. And we wait to learn what comes next.

In this episode, I sit down with Finley while we are still very much in the middle of the story.

She shares what the last few days have been like, the frightening experience she had coming out of anesthesia, what she’s feeling now, and what it’s like to face another unknown after everything she has already endured.

We don't have an ending to this story yet.

But we have hope. We have faith. And we have an incredible number of people praying for this girl.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out, checked on Finley, and prayed for her. Please continue praying that the infection completely clears and that her eye responds to treatment.

This is Finley’s update—in her own words. 🤍
