What on EARTH???



Connor came in from playing the other night and his eye was red, I didn't think much of it because he has allergies. He kept rubbing his eye and I looked at it closer, the white of his eye was swollen, it was like a blister. I have never seen such a thing (the pictures are kind of funny, you can't totally tell, but all of the white was swollen and the colored part was normal). I of course was paranoid worrying that if I didn't do something about it, he would go blind or something. I was going to go to the ER, but thought of calling Sean first. I remembered about the on call Dr. at the clinic so I called them. He said it's usually from sun exposure or allergies, to give him some benedryl and some tylenol and it should be better in the morning. It was still a little red but it wasn't all blistered like it was... and, he's not even blind.

That is seriously a little creepy! I looked at the picture and I threw up a little. :) Glad that the benedryl seemed to work. Blech.

That happened to my eye all of the time when I was serving my mission. The doctor told me that it was a sun burn on my eye. Crazy.. It didn't hurt too bad but it took awhile to get rid of
