Well, today was exciting.  I stayed home this morning with Campbell before the class party.  Campbell was playing with a cat toy in the bathroom, and he pulled it back and released it and hit me REALLY hard in the eye.  I actually thought I was blind for a moment!  Thankfully, I was able to start seeing after a couple of minutes.  Dad got me in to see an ophthalmologist here after seeing that my pupil was pretty dilated.  It’l all be fine, but there was inflammation after the injury.

Making matters worse, at just the moment that the toy accidentally hit me, I was calling the pediatrician after Campbell told me he had gotten into the children’s ibuprofin.  Thankfully, he spilled most of it and poison control said he hadn’t had enough to worry about. But it was a crazy morning nonetheless.  Last year, Campbell had strep.  I sure hope this isn’t a Halloween trend.

We managed to regroup and make it to Campbell’s class Halloween party, which was super fun, even though he didn’t want to wear his costume there.

Later, Bing picked up Dad since I was one the way back from the doctor, and we got Campbell dressed and went trick-or-treating.  He was (who knows why!) initially reluctant but really started to have fun once he got into it.  He definitely wasn’t feeling like sitting still for any pictures.
