I've got something in my eye....

Last Friday Luke was complaining about having something in his eye. He would rub it then stop so it seemed like things were normal.


Then on Saturday he went to a soccer game with my parents and they noticed something in his eye but couldn't get it out and his eye was watering like crazy. Then he seemed fine again.


On Sunday he was being a total pill and the light, noises and his siblings were all making him cranky. So we thought he must have had a headache (which he gets frequently) and gave him some Tylenol and had him rest for a half hour. It helped a lot so we figured he was better. Then Sunday night right before bed we noticed something BIG in his eye. We tried holding him down and getting it out but nothing worked.


So on Monday we made an appointment with the doctor. They tried getting it out with a q-tip but it wasn't working so they gave him numbing drops and then the doc went to town with metal tweezers and got it out. Somehow he didn't scratch Luke's eye or anything.


Here it is...the paper that was in Luke's eye for 3 1/2 days!

it's about 1 cm by 1 cm
(it's taped on a piece of paper so I outlined it)
