31 for 21 Day 29

Oh my goodness what a day! Last night after church Cooper was throwing some things in the dumpster for the pastor and something got into his eye! When we got home I had him rinse it out but he wouldn't stop complaining and crying! It was so sad! I gave him a cool washcloth and some motrin and told him it should help going to sleep. It didn't! Poor thing was up three times just bawling in pain! I felt horrible! So this morning I got him in to the ophthalmologist this morning. Cooper's eye was all red and swollen, it looked awful! The dr. was able to see that he had something stuck in his eyelid underneath! He was able to take these tweezer like things and get it out! It was the tiniest little speck of something! We could barely see it but it wreaked havoc on Cooper's cornea! He had many scratches on his poor eye! He felt so much better after it came out though, thank goodness! The doc said that every time he blinked he was scratching his eye and that is why it felt so much better when he kept it closed. I didn't get a pic of it this morning, he was NOT happy and he couldn't really open it anyway. However, here are the pics tonight after we've had steroid drops and antibiotic four times, MUCH better! You can barely tell which eye it was now! I so wish I had taken a pic this morning, I cannot describe the change! They said by tomorrow we'll never even know!

Tonight was the last football game so the seniors were presented before the game. We were supposed to go on the field and all that good stuff, however, we are having a torrential downpour so we spent over an hour in the gym waiting for the lightening to pass. It didn't, so we were presented in the gym after we had been soaked, the pics are going to be great! I thought I'd get a little teary but I was fine, I guess because I know that Jarika still has quite a bit of cheering left! While we were there my best friend, Susan, and her kids came over to watch Addy. She had so much fun reading and playing with Caroline, who's 7. Here they are doing little hand games, Addy thought they were a hoot! She is so more alike than different!
