Esther looks like she has been in a war. I think she won… only a corneal abrasion. Unfortunately for her I have to tell you it was from a spoon. Gosh you just have to keep them in bubble wrap their whole lives… even then that is a suffocation hazard. No win. Thank goodness we have God to protect us and them!
So we are at home in a nice dark environment. Suppose to go to Peds after hours tonight for a recheck and then Dr. Rosi said to go to an optometrist tomorrow. We shall see what God has in store.
Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Luke 12:7
So the story goes that the incident happened just as we were all heading out the door. She fell on the spoon of sorts, and after some tears, watery eyes, and red face she seemed to be mending up. Bryan took her to school, she fell asleep and he let her nap 40 min (a little/okay a lot unusual) then she was playing and all seemed well minus a reddened eye. Then after Adeline and I finished swimming lessons (which she did just GREAT) I dropped in on her and Ms. Gwen said she would be rubbing her eye from time to time and then sometimes she would just lay down abruptly and cry as if it all of the sudden hurt her. She was having a tough time. While holding her and dropping off Adeline she did one of those episodes and it was obvious she was hurting. So called The Kids Health team. I had prior and was waiting a call back. This time though I just started driving there. So needless to say I was in their parking lot when they were about to decide to send us to either the ER or see us. Dr. Rosi wasn’t in until 11 and it was now 10:30. So we waited in a dark room and she seemed pretty happy. Whenever the light was on or door opened all the way she was hurting. After the florescence and dark light it was obvious – a large slit across her iris and either above or through the pupil. I have already forgotten what it looked like.
She is napping now. I am sure she is worn out. I hope she sleeps a lot today. I don’t see her like having her hands in mittens and only one eye to see out with. God will take care of it I am sure.

Oh poor baby girl! We will be praying for quick healing and peace for you & Bryan as I know it has to be hard seeing her like that. Sounds like she is getting great care. Let us know what update from doc is. The pic is so sad. Give her lots and lots of kisses and maybe a treat or two for being such a strong girl. =)
Oh no!!!! Poor little Essie, she has just been finding interesting problems to have ever since she came out! Glad you were there to get her taken care of.
Oh MY WORD!!!! What stories you guys will have to tell!!! Praying for a quick recovery and your peace, like Teri said. Let me know if I can help in any way.
