Jackson's Eye!

We had a fun trip to the Urgent Care last night! Jackson and Mckay were fighting over a piece of paper. Unfortunately when Mckay finally got the paper away from Jackson it got Jackson's eye too. It ended up being a scratch on his cornea, pretty much like a paper cut on his eye. Apparently this hurts a lot because Jackson was not happy. The doctor put some ointment in Jackson's eye and then put a patch of gauze over it to protect his eye. Amazingly he kept the patch on all night even while he was sleeping. The good news is that his eye will be completely healed by tomorrow. For now we just get to put some drops in his eye, which is difficult to do with an 18 month old! We decided to take pictures of what happened so that we could remember this. We even got the actual paper that got Jackson's eye! The funny thing is that the kids are all smiley in the pictures!

Scary! Ryan once had a corneal abrasion from a camping-trip-stick incident. The Dr put some glow-in-the-dark stuff in his eye. Creepy! Thank goodness his eye healed quickly. I'm glad kids are so resilient! Glad to see they are smiling about it later! :)
