Miracle Of Sight Returns For Woman
Published: July 5, 2007
After various health problems robbing her of her sight, she can now see again and her vision continues to the surprise of even her doctors.
Her doctors and family call it the miracle of sight. A woman blind for almost five years can see again now catching up on time she missed watching her daughter grow up.
CBS 3 Bucks County Reporter Lesley Van Arsdall was in Langhorne with the story you’ll see only CBS 3.
Five years ago after suffering a heart attack due to complications from diabetes, Shelia Roach was blind. Then eight months ago she woke up and could see. When we first spoke to Shelia it was just see shadowy figures, but now she is able to read to her 6-year-old daughter Cecilia.
“I would call it a miracle and miracles happen,” Cardiologist St. Mary Medical Center, Dr. Richard Kass said.
Sheila’s cardiologist can’t explain how she regained her sight or why it keeps getting stronger, but he thinks it might have something to do with a drug called Renexa, a heart medication that Shelia was put on right before she regained her sight.
“We talked to the manufacturer about this and they have yet to see anyone else who has regained this type of visual function,” Dr. Kass said.
“Right now the only thing I think is miracle,” Shelia Roach said.
Shelia is now able to do things with her daughter she never thought would be possible.
“Now I can go shopping with her and say you’re not getting those shorts they are too short,” Roach said.
Next week, Shelia and her daughter are going on vacation for the very first time.
“Now that she can see she can go shopping and even go to a park,” Sheila’s daughter, Cecilia Roach said.
Cecilia said there are so many things she’s thankful for these days:
“That she can see better, and that she can go on a plane from her doctors. And she shops with me and reads to me and we cook together. We’re chefs,” Cecilia said.
