Holdies Eye

Poor little guy had a Corneal Abrasion...

Who would have thought that by simply trying a shirt on him would do this.

We went to the store the other day and I decided to try a shirt on him.  He was super tired to begin with so when I put the shirt on him and it hit him in the eye he of course cried.  I thought his carrying on about it was simply from the fact that he was over tired, but I guess I was wrong.  For the next several hours he would not eat and had a terrible time sleeping.  He would wake up crying so hard saying "eye" and rubbing it. 

I decided that i needed him to be seen so I took him to the ER.  They were pretty fast and very nice to him.  He did NOT want anyone anywhere close to his eye so we had to hold him down to look and to put both numbing and antibiotic drops in.  She said it was a Corneal Abrasion and that they are very painful.  She gave a him a prescription for Tylenol with Codeine which I did not end up needing to give to him.  He has healed up so very quickly thank God!

His hair kept getting in his eye so we had to give him the Pebbles do... The next day he got a hair cut.  Dad said he was not allowed to look like a cute little girl!
