Yes it's true my Dusty Boy is a kool kid but it wasn't very kool what happened to my little guy the other day. The morning started off like any other day until Dustin decided to get undressed and with his shirt over his head he either poked himself in the eye with his finger or ran into the foot board of my bed (he says yes to both scenarios) either one, he begins to scream and cry the cry where you know something is wrong. I get a wet cloth and an ice pack, (because my kids believe ice packs make everything better!!) and put it on his eye. He settles down and I figure he's fine until we go outside and the sun hits it and he begins to cry the cry again, that should've been my first clue, but no I settle him down again and turn on cartoons where he watches with his hand covering the hurt eye, second clue, I know bad mommy. He then takes a long nap and I figure that he'll be fine once he wakes up but oh boy was I wrong, the eye was red and watery and he kept whining and saying his eye hurt, poor thing so I FINALLY decide to give my brother Bob "The Eye Doctor" a call and off we went to Mesquite so he could take a look. We get there and Bob puts some eye drops in and sees that Dustin has scratched his eye and given himself a cornea abrasion and tells me that scratches to the eye are very painful and that his was so bad that instead of taking 1-2 days to heal his would probably take 3-4 days. And off we went with these snazzy glasses and some ointment! The good news is he was back to himself the next day, What a trooper!
