RE: a bit of drama...with a comical twist

[Guest guest]

Poor baby! I'm half-blind, frequently on medication, and often have the

mind of a 2-year-old, and I want to drive the car too, darn it all! ;-)

Glad everything turned out all right - did they discover the cause, or is

it a mystery?

a bit of drama...with a comical twist

Woke up today to an mms on the cell phone from my sister, with a photo of

Pixie (her 2,5 year old daughter) looking like she had been in a fight with

Mike Tyson. Her left eye was swollen to the point that she couldn't open it.

She probably had an allergic reaction to a mosquito bite - or another bug

bite. My sister was a bit in doubt as to what to do about it, since, on the

one hand it looked kind of bad, but on the other hand it also seemed stable

(the swelling wasn't increasing), and they were in the cottage by the baltic

sea, in a nature reserve, temporarily without a car, so getting to a doctor

might prove difficult.

Eventually she called a friend who came there and drove them to the closest

town/village, where they went to the local pharmacy to ask for advice. The

pharmacist insisted that they should at least see a nurse, and directed them

to the outpatient clinic in town. The nurse, in turn, agreed that it seemed

stable, and in that respect not alarming, but thought a doctor should look

at it, especially to make sure that there was not too much pressure building

up inside the eye. So she got them an appointment with the children's doctor

at the clinic, at the earliest possible, which was 2-3 hours later.

That's when she called me a second time, to give me an update about the

events so to speak. They were in the car and was going for lunch while they

waited for the doctor's appointment, Pixie was bored and a bit bothered by

the eye, so she wasn't in the best of moods. During my conversation with

a, Pixie started crying and asking why she wasn't allowed to drive the

car... a calmly answered: " You want a reason as to why you are not

driving the car? Well. You are a half-blind 2 year old who is on medication

and without a license, I think the reason is in there somewhere... " LOL.

love

/Reb

PS. Everything went well. No permanent damage to the eye.

Pixie will come out of it - it's the adults that have the worst end of it
