Chapter 2. The Eye! Over the weekend Katie was having allergy issues with running nose and itchy eyes. On Sunday the nose and eyes were winning the match, so I told Katie to go take a shower and the steam would help. While in there it sounded like she had company..she was arguing and crying about what ever was going on in the shower. I poked my head in the bathroom and asked her what all the bawling was about. She said her eyes were hurting and her nose wouldn't stop running. I reminded her that I told her to take a shower not sit infront of a running faucet. About 5 minutes later she came out screaming that she couldn't see. When I came out of the kitchen it looked as if the company in the shower was Mike Tyson and he had clobbered her with a left hook. From our best guess Katie must of rubbed her eye until her arm got tired. Not sure if it was from allergies or if she had an allergic reaction to something.
We gaveher 2 doses of benedryl but it didn't seem to help, so off to the ER we go. When we get checked in the ER nurses finds a mesquito in her eye!!! Not sure how it could stay in there after all that rubbing, but she found it. SO after some steriods, we are headed home. ON the way home Katie again was crying because she didn't want to go to school because of the way she looks. The 5th graders would make fun of her...the same ones who we beat playing 4 square and in the process broke our finger 4 weeks ago.
After a goodnght sleep with some meds, Katie is on the mend and is looking more like Katie Grace. I look forward to sharing Chapter 3 at some point in the near future!!
