may it rest in peace….

Well, maybe I felt a little bit of happiness at it’s passing but, hey, I’m only human.
“What is this?”, you say?
Well, this is the offending curing iron that tried to take out my eye. I guess it feels it has lived out it’s mission because when I finally got the nerve to use it again, what did it do? It died. This is it waiting to go to it’s final resting place. It is sitting now in a clean garbage sack but little does it know that it will soon be covered with all kinds of garbage and do I feel bad? Not really.
I went to the eye doctor again today, visit #6 in 8 days. This is the first time he has been a little discouraged. He said there is something funny there and he’s not sure if I actually did puncture that 2nd layer or if there is something foreign in there. That part is not too thrilling to me at all. I’ve been on straight steroids since Friday. Healing has slowed but he said that that is really to be expected because we are now down to the real damage. Now he tells me how really bad it could have been. Evidently, 3/4 of my eye surface was burned. My sight is still blurry but for today I could at least read a letter or two from each line of the chart I saw. Even on Friday I could barely read the biggest letter.
I am still praying for total healing and appreciate all prayers. It really is a process and like he says, in one week…the progress has been good. If I had this kind of burn on my arm it would never have healed this fast.
And now I have something cute to show you.
I’ve only gotten to see the little sweetie a few times since they’ve been home from Virginia. They got home the day after my big accident. Then she got RSV and since I couldn’t really drive until last Friday and Tyler was hospitalized once with RSV, they couldn’t really come here to visit. Now Tyler has some kind of weird cough at night so we’re just keeping our distance between the two. I did sneak in a visit yesterday after church, though. I can’t bear being away from her for so long.
She’s experimenting with her little cup and water! Time is going so fast. I had to poke her on the floor so I could see her sit and then I just held her for a little while before I had to come home. She just makes life feel all better! (and thankfully she is getting better!)
I have to leave you with something to chuckle about. I’m sure some day Tyler is not going to appreciate this but it’s too good to keep to ourselves. One the one day we did get to go visit, he had a little work out on Wii Fit. He’s hula hooping!

I loved seeing Tyler hula hooping…so cute!
We will continue to lift you up in prayer, and pray that for 100% healing. The picture of Mayah is precious, boy they grow to fast. Wesley has the same highchair and it’s held up well. Hope everyone gets well fast so you can get you a little more Mayah cuddle time:)

Sherri – I was going to say something like, “I would’ve thrown that curling iron straight into the trash the same day…” but then I remembered I still own the pair of scissors I stabbed myself in the leg with over 10 years ago.
Mayah is ADORABLE, and I’m so glad you were able to see her – a little love for grandma will heal all kinds of woes!

That is where that mean old curler belongs, in the trash! Serves it right.
Continued prayers for your healing. Sweet Pea is getting so big and isn’t she just the cutiest thing? Take care.

I hope your eye continues to mend and that you sight continues to get more and more in focus. I would hammer that offending object into oblivion before putting into the trash–but wear goggles when you do!! Cute baby, cute hula-hooper! I’ll have to try hula hooping–I used to do it when young and they first came out. Back when I had a waist….

I do hope that your eye is back to 100% very soon. I still can’t even imagine how you could endure it to this point… burning your eye? Arrgghhh… it’s too painful to think of!
But please, that video…too funny. He’s SO into it! Love it!

I would have taken that iron and run it over! wow…you have had quite the experience.
I will have to tell you he time I got a bee sting on my tongue…I spit the bugger out and killed it. At the time, I thought I was going to die from the sting and remember saying, ‘there, I have killed you before you killed me.’ It was quite the adventure, but had a happy ending!
Love the pictures of Missy Mayah. Wait until she gets teeth and hair. They change again so much.
