Kids can be a danger to your health and Prego updates

Thursday night Tyler poked me in the eye.  It wasn't your usual poke in the eye.  Hours later I still couldn't open my eye and it felt like a dagger was in it.  Fourteen hours later I was in no better shape.  Lane had to skip class in the morning so he could take me to the eye doctor.  I sustained a bad corneal abrasion.  There was actually a flap.  Sounds bad, it felt horrible.  They put a bandaged contact, gave me antibiotic eye drops, and told me to come back the next day.  There was a lot of improvement so they took the contact off and added a steroid to my eye drops and gave me a drop regimen for the following week.  Today it's much better but I'm still sensitive to light and when I use my eye for too long (which really isn't long) they hurt and feel really tired.  Now I"m hoping and praying that the pressure of child birth doesn't reopen it. 

Speaking of child birth, I"m going in for an induction on Wednesday.  He decided to induce me to make sure I make it to the hospital since I have super fast deliveries.  I was only at the hospital for an hour before I delivered Jeremy and Tyler was delivered by two nurses even though the doctor was in the hospital.  At any rate we're excited and glad I haven't gone into labor before then- Knock on wood.
