I had the scare of my life Friday night. The boys were playing, a.k.a. fighting, and the next thing I know, Houston runs into the kitchen crying. In the two seconds it took him to walk from the bedroom to the kitchen, he already has a HUGE knot on his eye. And I lost my dang mind.
It looked like someone had shoved a golf ball into his eye socket. He couldn't open his eye and I seriously thought the bulge was his eyeball. I called 911 in a panic but eventually decided to take him to the ER.
We got there just after 10:00 p.m. and left just after 1:00 a.m. They certainly don't get in any big rush at this "emergency" room.
Basically, it's just a really bad black eye and all we can do is apply ice to it. We pretty much paid $150 for an ice pack, but I'd rather be safe than sorry, especially with head injuries.
Houston was such a BIG boy though. He thinks his battle wound is pretty AWESOME!!!
And it's now lovely shades of purple, black, green and yellow. They said it will eventually spread down his cheek. Oh joy!
XOXO,
Stacy
