Oh Eyeballs!

So, usually Camden is the cause of trouble, this time he was the recipient. The boys were all playing out back and Kaiden found an old broken shovel under the deck. Somehow the jagged broken end of the handle ended up in Camden's eye. Needless to say we were off to the eye Dr. who was amazing! Camden did so well, held still while his head was in the big head vice thing, looked exactly where the Dr. asked him to and he even let the Dr. put in drops 3 times withoug a single objection! (Blessings from heaven!) So, with a massive corneal abrasion, lubrication drops (to be dropped hourly) and an antibiotic, we were out of there. Camden has to stay completly out of any wind, and has to avoid sunlight. He has been rocking the sunglasses and looking so cool. He is a little trooper, the Dr. said this is a very painful injury and an adult would not handle it as well as he has. The Dr. also said he will not have any permanant damage to his eye. There are definitly guardian angels watching little boys!
(This picture was taken on day two, already looking so much better! Little bodies heal so fast.)

Mary, somehow they all just survive. It is amazing any of my boys are still alive, the stories they tell. I'm very glad things worked out alright. Love You....
