Cora - Eye scratch

Thursday morning before dance class, Cora was stretching...  with her Jazz shoes on.  It was time for her to get dressed for class and as she was taking off her Jazz shoes, they got stuck and she pulled hard on them, and one of the shoes came off and hit her in the eye.  #freakaccident

She cried and cried...  but she fought through it, and I sent her to dance.  When I picked her up, she seemed ok... she said it still hurt, but she seemed fine.  About an hour went by, and she began to cry more consistently and was super upset.  I honestly didn't know what to do... so I called the eye doctor.  We were able to get in right away... 

Verdict - severe scratch on her eye - the lower part of the colored part of her eye.  There should be no damage to her vision, however, she will be in pain for awhile, unfortunately.  The appointment was rough - she had a hard time opening her eye to even let the doctor look...  after some numbing drops and some time, doctor could finally take a look.  

We went home with an antibiotic (just in case there is an infection), and a drop to help 'coat' and protect her eye.  

She was pretty upset all afternoon, but finally around supper time, she seemed not as bothered by it.

So...  now it's Friday.  We went back to the eye doctor Friday morning to check to see if it's healed any...  and it had!  Doc said it was healing nicely and he was pleased.  We will continue with the antibiotics through the weekend and hopefully by Monday, she is 100%.
