• May. 4, 2008 - Patch Carter
I started wondering if we were going to have a pirate in the family about 2 o clock the other day. Joe inadvertently got some brake parts cleaner in one of his eyes.
I knew that we should start flushing his eyes immediately, but then even double-checked the can just to make sure. After we did that, his one eye wasn't really even all that red and he was ready to try and get things back together on the weedeater. Disaster averted, right?
Well, it seemed like that until an hour or so later he started complaining about not being able to see well in that eye.
Fortunately I have a friend a town over who just happens to be an optometrist and she agreed to go in and take a look at his eyes even though it was her day off. After my post on "Make Me A Blessing to Someone Today", I wondered if she realized just what a blessing she was to us that day!
Anyway, after a thorough exam she decided that his cornea was swollen (normal), but did not have an abrasion, which would have been more serious. He's putting some drops in his eyes four times a day, just for good measure, but really he's totally ok.
I just thought it would be fun to see if Juliestew could photoshop an eye patch on him just so we could see what he *would* have looked like if things had been worse. 
Turns out he's still a pretty handsome fellow even with just one eye!
