Last weekend was very hectic starting Thursday Night.
Daniel started to cry after bath time and we thought that it was nightmares as he never opened his eyes. So we just consoled him as much as we could. Thanks to the wifey for rocking endlessly while I slept.
The next day however I get a frantic call about 2pm to tell me to meet Jess at the doctors office as Daniel had been screaming profusely and scratching at his eyes. Now we where set to leave at 3:00 to go to the mountains for the weekend so I was already going to get off early and decided that I needed to go ahead a little earlier and meet Jess there. When I got there Daniel had cried himself to sleep and you could tell that his eye-lids where very red.

Once he saw the Doctor the theories began to fly… Pink eye, dust, chemical reaction from shampoo, and many more. Finally after two doctors we were told that it probably wasn’t pink eye and that it could be a scratch on his eye so they would prescribe antibiotic drops. So me and Daniel go home and Jess goes to CVS to get the drops. Let me just say that whatever drops they are they where like wonder drops. Daniel instantly started to feel better.

Upon a closer inspection from the Hawk (Jess) we saw the scratch on his eye. He is doing much better now with his eye… it is no longer red and he doesn’t try to hold it closed anymore.
I hate that the little guy had to go through that, but I am also glad that there was no permanent damage.

Thanks for Reading
