Our Lil' Pirate

I received a call from MJ's teacher today...I could tell by her voice that something was not quite right.  Long story short, after a visit to Dr. V's office, something happened at school and MJ somehow scratched her cornea.  When I picked her up they had given her a wet cloth to cover her eye.  Once we got to Dr. V's he put a steroid in her eye, turned out the lights and turned on the purple light.  He showed me the scratch...yikes!  I was shocked at how big it was considering MJ's lack of complaining.  She must have her mama's pain tolerance, ha!  He proceeded to put an eye patch over her eye and told us to come back Thursday.  Of course, once we left we headed straight to DQ for a sundae for our brave lil pirate.

Update: made our way back to Dr. V's and threw in MJ's 3 year visit...yeh, I'm just a little behind on that!  Dr. V went to take the patch off and realized it was not going to come off as easily as he thought.  He said he had never had one stick that well...needless to say, MJ's right eyebrow was ripped off right along with the eye patch.  A.W.F.U.L!  Nothing worse than watching your child scream in pain...pure exhaustion (for both of us).  She then had to get a shot & have her finger pricked...not a good day!  She was a champ, though, and by the time we checked out, she had "collected" herself.  We celebrated with a trip to BK this time!
