INSTA Christy Carlson Romano - mirror selfie in black workout clothes (+ eye updates) - Feb, 2025

From her FB page:

 

She should be glad she won't lose her eye.

 

She never discusses politics on her socials. Most of it is about her family or posting selfies. These people are mean to her without much cause.

FB update:

"For those who’ve been asking, on February 7th, my husband’s birthday, I took him to shoot clay pigeons as a present. There was another party with us and they unsafely fired in the wrong direction and shot me in the face. My husband, a Marine Veteran, immediately sprung into action, assessed me, and rushed me to the hospital. I was hit in 5 places, one was less than an inch from hitting me directly in my right eye. Unfortunately a fragment got lodged behind my eye and it is too risky to remove surgically at this time. Doctors will continue to monitor me (I can see normally at the moment).With everything that happened, all I can think about is how grateful I am to be alive. I love my daughters, husband, family, and friends so much. I saw my life flash before my eyes and I’m telling you, hug the people around you every chance you can. Life can change in an instant."

"It is a miracle. The shot was less than 1mm from permanently blinding me. Dr. Sean Paul also explained that the shot missed all the vital parts of my eye by moving around them like a marble hugging the curve of a bowl (it's an anomaly).

The lead fragment must remain in place, as surgically removing it could leave me blind. I should fully recover with no issues at all, though I many never be able to get an MRI again.

The shot fragment in my forehead is lodged in my skull and doctors have decided to leave it, as it will accelerate the healing process.

He and other doctors will continue to monitor me for the coming weeks and I will keep everyone posted. I am very sore and tired, but I am resting and healing up well. I appreciate all of your support and the support of my husband, children, and family. More to come."

 

FB update, 2 March:

"What a difference 3 weeks makes. I can’t believe how much I’ve healed. I am so utterly thankful. I should be blind, but I’m not. I have to admit, over the years, I’ve seen the worst sides of people on social media, and while I’ve noticed glimpses of it on my posts since the accident, the outpouring of love and support has been overwhelming.

I’ve always felt like I lacked community. I was raised in a tough family and getting in the biz at age 6, living in NYC, it just hardened me. But this experience has shown me that community is real. I’ve gone back and forth with thousands of you who’ve been sending me DMs and following along in my Stories.

I’m truly looking forward to continuing to share my life with you all and to hearing and learning from all of you."
