Quinn's hurt eye

Quinn fell while playing outside this afternoon. He went face first & right onto a stick. (I'm still not exactly sure how it happened) The stick really did a number on his right eye. He has a skinned up place about the size of a dime on the outside/cheek area of his eye...then a scratch that goes all the way across almost to his nose. Then (as if that's not enough) he has another little skinned up place on the upper/outside of his eye lid & another scratch that goes all the way across his eye lid. I cannot believe how close it came to getting him right in the eye. If it had hit his eye, it would have done some serious damage. His eye wasn't too swollen, but before he went to bed it was starting to swell a little, even though we put cold compresses on it for (what seemed like) hours. And was starting to look all bruised up. He was sort of worried that it's going to be swollen shut in the morning. I told him that it may swell a little more, but not to worry about it. We will deal with it & that it really could have been a lot worst. That he is blessed that the stick missed going right onto his eyeball. I'm going to take a picture of it. I wished I could post pictures, but I can't.

We just got in from the ped. office. Lucky for us, we got to see Quinn's favorite doctor. He looked at his eye. I couldn't see it, but there is a bloodspot in the outside uppper corner (sort of under the eyelid) where the eyeball bled a little. However, it appears that there was no serious damage & that his eye is going to heal ok. I've got to put Neosporin on the broken skin a couple times a day (hopefully it won't scar) & he can take Advil for pain. Quinn said that it throbs whenever he leans over, but for the most part, it's not hurting him too bad. He's still going to his guitar lesson in a couple of hours.
While there, he went ahead & got the flu shot.

Oh yeah...he was really happy. It was like a late birthday gift. Actually, he's like me, he doesn't mind getting shots too bad. I mean, he's not going to ask for one, but he's not going to complain & whine about having to get one.
