Lisa's ER Visit

We were having a lovely Sunday evening in the yard, when I heard the loudest cry ever from Lisa. Stanley and Lisa had been playing frisbee, and she got hit in the eye. After getting her in the house to assess the situation, Matt noticed that her pupils were two different sizes (which looks REALLY freaking with her light blue eyes).

We called 911, and when the paramedics came, they had no idea why her eyes had different sized pupils (super-small in the hurt eye, and big in the other). They called the emergency room, and the doctor recommended brining her in to the ER by car. So I loaded her up, and we made our way to the hospital.

We didn't have a very long wait, and when we go to our room her pupils were back to normal. The doctor said that when you get in the eye (and you know its not a head-injury) the iris can have a muscle-spasm and cause the pupil to get really small and tight. They tested her eyes for other injuries, and found that she had a corneal abrasion. She had to have medicine in her eye 4 times a day, but it healed up very quickly!

Everything turned out fine, and the doctors said she was the best 3-year-old patient they've had!
