Parkin Family

Christmas was so much fun (except for this)!
We had a fun time with Kailey opening up presents in the morning. My in-laws came to our house a little later and then we headed up to Logan. I love the holiday because I get to see family...but this year I only go to see some of them through one eye!
I was playing a game with my family at about 5:30pm and my little girl was sitting on my lap. She was squirming and flung her arms in the air. Her finger nail jabbed me right in the eye and man did it sting...the only problem was that it kept stinging for hours afterwards. I couldn't even open it without a lot of pain. We headed home and called an optometrist (?) that we know. He recommended going to the ER and getting it looked at...but mostly to get some antibiotics. He said that because it was her finger nail (which is usually dirty on children) there was a high chance of infection. He also said that because it was over the colored part of my eye that it was more serious than over the white part.
Anyway, to make a long story short we spent Christmas night in the Emergency Room and my in-laws were nice enough to take Kailey home for us and put her to bed (my father in law even shoveled our driveway)! My eye is feeling better today but I was told to rest it as much as I could so I have been walking around with one eye closed most of the morning. Needless to say that you lose a lot of your depth perception when you only use one eye...so I have been tripping over a lot of things and feeding Kailey her oatmeal this morning was hilarious (maybe a little payback;).
Oh well, such is life. I hope you all had a great Christmas!
