OUCH!!!

Luke had a small accident yesterday :(

We gave him a new T-Shirt... "Star Wars - Clone Wars" :) - he has now Graduated from Doctor Who and is now obsessed with Batman, Superman, Spider-man, Star Wars etc. etc.

Luke now also dresses himself and was very excited and proceeded to run away with the shirt to try it on.

Unfortunatly we had not taken the tags off (large cardboard ones) and whilst he was putting it on he scratched his EYE. He sobbed for ages, but eventually calmed down and everything was ok - or so me and Jules thought!

Mid-afternoon he started complaining about his eye and crying at his Granparents and they called Julie and she decided to take him to the Hospital.

At the hospital he had to have dye in his eye and a blue torch shined into his eye to check for scratches. He also managed to get dye all over him - hands, arms, face and legs. The doctor was very nice and she let Luke shine the torch in her eye and he apparently sat very very patiently (no tears) whilst he had the dye in his eye and the exam.

Lukily he has not damaged his eyeball and it is just scratching near the eye - painful for him none the less.

He was rewarded with a comic and some chocolate - so he soon perked up ;)

How WIERD is this... Just been chatting to one of my good friends Paul.

Yesterday afternoon his son James prodded himself in the eye with a piece plastic and he had to be rushed to A and E for a similar EYE exam.

James is also doing ok with no damage to his eyeball.

Poor little fella, pleased there's no lasting damage though. Give him a big kiss from Auntie Victoria, that will teach him!!

You can give him a kiss when we see you in a couple of weeks - he will like that :)

Always stressful when kids get hurt - loads and loads worse when its your own :(

All better now though :)
