Here's the short of it... We invited Connor to take a trip to Boston with us last weekend. We stopped for gas along the way, and he helped to pump it (with adult supervision). The pump got loose, did not shut off, and ended up spurting gas all over Connor. It also went In. His. Eye.
After we performed the immediate first aid at the rest area (thorough flushing of the eye), we headed to the emergency room. Connor was not injured in any way (thank God).

One of the tests they did was really cool. The doctor put a special drop in Connor's eye and turned off the lights. She used a black light to look at his eye. The purpose of the dye was to make any abrasions or burn on the cornea stand out. There wasn't any damage, but the effect was still really cool.
Connor thought this would be fun to do to eyes for Halloween |
