A trip to the ER

So last night I had to take Conor to the ER.  Yesterday afternoon around 1, Conor, like always, had pulled a blanket over his head.  Shaun went to pull it off of his head and Conor just freaked out, like he was in pain.  He wouldnt open his eyes so we quickly figured something had touched his eyeball, we are thinking it was the ribbons on the blanket but who knows.  Anyway, he wouldnt let me put him down and kept crying.  His eye was swollen and red.  He is usually so calm and easygoing.  By 6 I phoned my mom and she said to take him to the ER to see if his eye had been scratched.

So off to the ER.  The waiting room was full of kids w/ bad colds and I was so scared Conor would catch one and end up w/ RSV (cold that can be deadly in babies, especially preemies).  I asked if there was somewhere else I could wait and they wouldnt move me until around 930 my blood sugar dropped and I thought I was going to either throw up or pass out (I hadnt eaten since 11 am).  They brought us to another room and gave me some cheese, crackers and apple juice (which was very nice of them).  I felt better being in there w/ Conor.  Finally at about 1045 dr saw us and of course nothing wrong w/ Conor’s eye.  I probably would have left earlier but his eye was still watering at that point.  So off to home..

now Im so tired!  I had been up since 4 am that morning.  So off to bed I go now.  I think its 7, kids are in bed thank goodness.  Im so tired of being tired but its worth it when I have two beautiful babies. 

We have appt w/ pediatrician this week which Im looking forward to.  Going to talk to her about feeding cereal.  Kids have been wanting to eat every 2 hrs so I think they need something else. 

Oh and Shauns dad is home from the hospital and doing well.

Goodnight!!
