Maggie broke a Corelle bowl Saturday morning and when it shattered, a shard got into her right eye. The white of her eye started bleeding and she was really crying. I called Complete Children's Health, but they told me to take her to the ER. We arrived at St. Elizabeth's with only one man ahead of us and they were speedy at getting both of us checked in. By the time we'd arrived Maggie was starting to calm down and said it didn't hurt as much. She probably washed the shard out with her tears, which was good! It took two of us to hold Maggie down while the doctor put a dye drop into her eye. We were then able to look under a black light and see that she had the one abrasion that bled, but it was surface level only and didn't go deep into her eye. Whew! They sent us home with a Rx for eye drops. I got the girls drinks and snacks at Walgreens while we waited for the Rx to be filled. She was doing fine by the time we got home. I was a tough mom and told her she needed to sweep up the mess. We also talked about not banging bowls together when you're angry! I don't think she'll ever do that again!
