First ER Visit

The weekend began a relaxing one with a trip to Auntie Jen's pool. It felt so good to lay out on the infinity edge. But we had a weekend jam-packed full of birthday parties and church stuffs and little did I know how much rest we were going to need for the upcoming events (see blog post Curious George, Fairies and Pirates).

On the way home from church Charlotte's eye got scratched. I didn't see what happened but she was writhing and screaming in pain when I climbed into the backseat. I was a complete mess and my first reaction while holding my screaming baby whom couldn't open her right eye at this point was, of course, she is blind! (Now, that I look back on it, that was a little embarrassing.) Anyway, we rushed to the ER, where the doctors put dye drops in her eye and scanned her with a blue light. The cut was minor. She received a 5 day antibiotic and a scheduled follow-up exam. I am most thankful during these moments to be a Christian because if we didn't have GOD to look to during scary moments, I would imagine we would feel truly lost. As is turns out, even severe scratches to the eye heal almost completely on their own but we still feel that we were VERY fortunate that afternoon. The adrenaline rush had worn off and we were exhausted by the time we got home from the ER. On a side note, Ryan was calm the entire time. He is my rock! Thanks for the support, Honey :)
