Brave kiddo - ER visit :(

Connor had a corneal abrasion and we took him to the ER right at bedtime - poor kiddo was in horrible pain AND exhausted after hours swimming in a friends pool. They were able to get the pain under control and he finally got home to bed around 10:30. Next day - good as new! Thank goodness. No 4 year old should have to go through that. He was my brave little man after scary treatment at the ER. When he talks about it now he doesn't mention the pain - just getting green gatorade, TWO popsicles (his two favorite colors, red and orange), and then blue gatorade to take home. He also got a little coloring book and on the back page is a Certificate of Bravery. All by himself he filled in his name, age, and the reason he went to the emergency room: "My eye hurts". He just missed the U in hurts, but otherwise did it himself. What a little man!
