Eye yi yi....

Now on to the fun events of the weekend...
Branden had to work on Friday and he was soldering some pipe when some
water came through and the solder exploded in his face.
 Its a hot liquid and then dries hard. So basically, there were a bunch
of these little pieces of solder in his eye. He got most of them out but it still
felt like there was a piece in there. So, off to the doctors we went!
Since it was the day after Thanksgiving the eye doctor was closed and we had to go to Physicians Immediate Care. They numbed his eye and put this yellow coloring in it, turned off the lights, and put a black light
over it to see if they could see anything. Turns out there wasn't any
solder in it but there was a big burn on the colored part of his left eye. 
The doctor couldn't tell how bad the burn was so he had to call the on call Optometrist.
We went and met Dr. Fornerotto up at his office and he said that we would have to wait and see if the burned part of eye would 
sluff off or would heal within the next couple of days. 
He gave us a couple different eye drops and called in a prescription for some
pain killers and some more eye drop things. 
Luckily the burned part of the eye didn't sluff off and he's been doing good :)
So, that was our fun filled Friday!!
