drama - again!

so, sirus is in the habit of going to the er. his first time was alarming, his second time was alarming as well. his 3rd time was drama, but eric took him in the middle of the night. i didn't write about it, but it was drama. man, was it drama....but he was fine.
but then there was yesterday. i was at work and got a message on my voice mail. "sirus poked himself in the eye and has been crying non stop ever since. i called the doctors but they are taking too long so i am taking him to the er." as soon as i got it, i jumped into the car and headed to childrens hospital. when i got there all in a panic, i went to the front desk said my husband brought in my son with a poked eye. he told me they were already discharged. what? it had bee 20 minutes since they left to go there. then lady said, no no no, there is another kid here with a poked eye, and they sent me back to room 222. i went back but couldn't find it. i asked and a nurse said "oh! that adorable little boy asleep with the sunglasses on!" Sure enough, sirus was asleep in eric's arms, wearing sun glasses. apparently the sunglasses made him feel better. for sirus to be asleep like that was alarming to me. it was almost his naptime anyway but our kids don't normally fall asleep out in no where. in the ar maybe, but not being carried. but eric said he had been crying for a few hours straight, so he was tired. seamus and i played a game guess what the doctor would look like: short, red haired lady wearing doctor clothes. turned out, she was mostly right, it was a short grey haired lady wearing doctor clothes. they woke sirus up and he because whailing instantly. seamus and i left the room because she was getting scared and right away was telling me she wanted to leave. we went out of the room, shut the door, down the hall and around the corner to the waiting room. there was a guy there watching tv. as sirus's screams started to fill the entire hospital the guy continued to just turn the tv up. it was terrible. i knew they were going to numb his eye but i didn't know what else they were going to do. but the screaming just kept coming. louder and longer. i tried to just ignore it and play with seamus but i was ready to break down. after a 1/2 hr or so, eric and sirus came out and we went home. after they put the numbing drops in his eye, they put the dye in there and then some other disinfectant goo. tey turned his eyelid up and found a spec of something stuck up under the top one that was scratching is cornea. eric said it took him and the male nurse that was there all of their strenght to hold the little guy still. they gave us a perscription for eye drops and oxycodone for pain which we had no intention of giving him once it connected with us what it was. eric took sirus home and put him down for a nap. seamus and i went to get the perscriptions filled. sirus slept straight through until 8pm when eric changed his diaper. he was in need since it hadn't been changed in a long long time. we kept the lights low but he kept his eyes totally closed. he made his way from his room all the way to the kitchen without any help. then he ate his dinner, including 3 servings of applesauce without spilling anything. once we started talking about playing some with his cars, he opened his eyes and everything seemed better for him. we played for a few hours then put him back to bed. he went right back to sleep and slept al night. this morning you would never guess that there was so much drama the day before.
