So, we are starting to see little traditions emerge on this, our third year of camping. We are starting to return to favorite campgrounds at the same times of the year. This is our second annual trip to Megunticook Campground by the Sea on the weekend after Memorial Day. We love this campground for the super warm pool. When they say they have a heated pool, they mean it (unlike many campgrounds up here in the North- northeast). :)
We brought the other Johnsons with us- don't the Casita and Oliver look cute together, though?
I was told there was alot of this going on...
and this....
and this.....
AND this.
But, unfortunately, this is pretty much all I was seeing for the weekend. Here's the story- Braedan woke up Friday night at 1AM screaming that his eye hurt and grabbing at it. He wouldn't open it to let us see, so after about an hour of him drifting back to sleep and waking up screaming, he slept the rest of the night. The next morning, he wouldn't open either eye, although it was the left that had the issue. At first I wasn't too worried. I figured he would eventually open it. We bought some saline to flush it out and this eye patch to cover it. But he spent all day with both eyes shut and lying STILL (which was the scary part). It was like having a little blind boy. We even carried him down to the nice warm pool and thought he would open his eye when he got in there, but no such luck. Sunday passed in the same way. By this time, I was really worried. What was hiding behind that closed little eye? We were afraid to take him to the ER because we didn't know to what lengths they would go to open his eye. Sunday evening I put warm compresses on his eye for two hours and he finally opened it. It was very red and inflamed. We took him to the doctor and discovered he had a corneal tear/abrasion which healed after a few days on antibiotics. I am so happy to see those beautiful blue eyes again and I am so thankful he is healed!
