Lauren Scruggs Has Left Eye Removed In Wake Of Accident

Model and fashion blogger Lauren Scruggs had a setback this week in recovering from severe injuries she sustained in an accident earlier this month. In a post on Scruggs’ CaringBridge.org website Wednesday, her family revealed doctors had to remove her left eye.

“Over this last week, we have been praying for a miracle for the healing of Lo's left eye. We are thankful for all of the strong and powerful prayers for this and the surgery today. The surgery consisted of removing her left eye, which included nerves. The doctors were excited about the surgery and said everything went as planned and unbelievably well,” the family wrote.

 “Along with the pain she was already experiencing with her arm and shoulder injuries, the removal of the left is also very painful. We are asking again for prayer to relieve this pain, and also, as we have posted previously, pray for Lo to regain her appetite. This is crucial for her body to heal quickly,” they added.

Scruggs suffered severe injuries to the upper left side of her body when she accidentally walked into a spinning airplane propeller at a private airport near Dallas on December 3. Doctors had to amputate her left hand.
