"Lauren's surgery went very well this morning," the message said.

"She is now resting in ICU with the family. She is able to open her right eye to see while her left eye is still bandaged. Please continue to pray for the vision of her left eye, as we will not know the status of her sight for some time."

Scruggs had worked in the wardrobe department of the TV show "Gossip Girl" and runs the fashion blog LOLO.
