First Emergency Room Trip

This Stick
Plus this sweet little girl....Equals this ankle bracelet and a scratched cornea.



We had our first trip to the emergency room last night. Charlie was playing with Hannah and found this piece of our coffee table that Hannah must have chewed off. She poked it right in her eye. I could see immediately that she had a red spot right under the iris of her eye. Of course it was 9pm and Nick was on duty. So I loaded her up in the car and took her to the fire station for the guys to look at it. I was so hoping that I was over reacting, but when they all said they could see a scratch into the cornea of her eye, I knew we were going to have to take her in.
I called my good friend Merci, and she confirmed that we should take her in sooner than later. So after 2 hours in the emergency room, we were on our way home with a scratched cornea and some gel. The doctor said the scratch it just in the first layer of her cornea, so we are so thankful it was not worse.
I am sure we will have more trips to the emergency room, and I really hope they don't escalate in severity. And most of all I hope that these things would quit happening at night, when Nick is on duty. I HATE this kind of stuff!!
