Crash and BURN

This week has been full of kids getting hurt. Mason has tackled Paxton and given bites. Andrew fell off of his bike and scraped up his knee and elbow (I know... that's what pads are for... but they were in the closet inside...).

Today was an especially fun injury day. JJ went to the transfer station to get rid of some of our yard waste so I was home with the boys. While I was folding laundry, Mason and Andrew were playing the "let's push each other down" game. Regardless of my constant warning that someone was going to get hurt, and regardless of the fact that I kept telling them to stop, they continued until Mason hit his eye on the shelf by the kitchen. Resulting in... what else? A cornea abrasion. Awesome. SO, we called the doctor and were told to take him in right away. Mason hated having the sun in his eyes, but I couldn't find a pair of their sunglasses (surprise, surprise. The one time I need them, they aren't all over the place!) So, we got him in to the doctor and the doctor put a little dye in his eye to help find the scratch. He turned off the light and turned on the blacklight and, sure enough, there was the scratch right across the center of his eye! A few paralytic drops and some antibiotic ointment later, Mason was patched up like a pirate and sent home. :) Enjoy the pictures!
