Eyes Eyes baby

Jr., in her infinite wisdom at a camp she attends last week, figures out that she can learn to "spray" sunscreen on her own! (we have only used the cream with our hands at home, no spray!).
She sprays the sunscreen directly into her eyes. Worse, she does not tell anyone at the camp and no one (well the camp has high school and college kids as supervisors) notices that Jr.'s eyes are blood red by end of the day! If only they had seen it and washed her eyes off !!!
Off we go to a doctor who gives her an antibiotic of sorts, called VIGAMOX, which does not do anything to improve the situation and two days later, a trip to an eye doctor ends up with a presciption for "lubrication drops", which is finally showing some results, albeit slowly!
That has been the story of the week, with us worrying about the possibilty of a blind Jr.. She being a natural drama queen, pisses us off by practising for her future blindness in front of us. The nerve this girl has!
What is the point in giving up "potato" when a five year old can give your heart the stress test, at the drop of a hat?
Jr. is doing better now. (the photograph was taken after 24 hours of the new treatment and the redness has gone back a little).
The kids decided to play funny and take photos in the backyard, when I went to take a picture of Jr.'s eyes! Here are some samples.
These photos are the antidote to the first photo! The girls like my hand drawn pottu's (bindi's) and don't mind staying still to let me draw them on their forehead with mommy's eyeliner.
Now the little one goes "Daddy, can you draw a doggie and make it my pottu?"
Will have to try, no?

Yep yep yep can relate to your posts as a parent. Can't believe we have kids and they are so naughty. Imagine what will happen when they are teenagers.

Phew- scary.
oh my Gosh! I'm glad she's okay and posing for silly pictures. By the way, I think she's just making you stronger and more resilient Sundar Annah :)
I work with this autistic kid and last week as she was pushing in one of the door's, the hinges came off and she called me for help. I don't even know how she managed, she's tiny. But, I nearly had my heart pop out of my chest, I turned my back to her for 2 minutes. I don't know how you parents deal with the constant heart attacks kids give you!

She looks so mature in the 2nd picture as if she is laughing at your stress :)
Hope she is okay now.

That sure must have been a heart stopper ! glad that she is ok !
thanks all..
kids sure have a way of deciding how to change the course of events..
hopefully this will slow down Jr.'s know all attitude a little bit.
she is better now. there is some red in a lot of white as opposed to some white in a lot of red.

A special thanks to M aunty who happens to be an eye doctor and gave some really good advice!
