Friday’s Black Eye

Oh my goodness,what a morning!  This morning Brennan tripped on the rug in the bathroom and hit his head on the tub.  The poor boy screamed bloody murder so I ran in there and couldn’t see anything.  He was holding his left eye so I looked at it and couldn’t see anything.  I snuggled him a bit then looked and holy hell, what I saw made my stomach drop!  I thought I was going to throw up!!!  I yelled for Aiden, who was getting his shoes on for school, to get me an ice pack.  Brennan just cried and cried and cried and I tried my best to hold it together to not scare him or Aiden.  I called Andy right away to come home and help me decide if we needed to take Bren to the ER.  Here are the gruesomely cute pics (the boy was so sweet smiling for the camera even though his eye felt like it was going to explode!), they don’t do it justice.

We have held an ice pack on his eye off and on all morning, now he is napping and I am almost certain his eye will be swollen shut when he wakes up.  Makes me so sad.  At lunch I was talking to him about going to his buddies birthday party tomorrow, something he is jumping out of his skin excited about.  He said “I can’t go looking like this!”  No lie, his exact words!  Bah!  I told him they wouldn’t reschedule the birthday party just because his eye was swollen up so he sighed and said “Fine, I will go like this.”  I die.  The kid is so dang sweet, cute and funny and he’s just the sweetest little shmumpky pie I ever did see!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
