Darcy's First Hospital Trip

Yesterday we spent the afternoon at William Angliss Hospital ED with Darcy. Last thursday I noticed a little tiny white speck on the blue of his eye. I tried rubbing it away, tried a little saline wash and it did nothing, we thought it would shift with Darcy rubbing his eyes etc.. Come Sunday it was still there and now noticably causing him some greif. He was becoming very sensitive to bright lights, closed his eyes tight when having his nappy changed (laying down) and his eye and nose were running quite a lot. So I asked Arron to take him to the ED to see if they can get it out... no point waiting for an appt with our GP in a few days time. They were unable to remove it and told us to bring him back tomorrow (monday) and requested him to fast from 9am as they would need to sedate him to have a better go at getting it out. We arrived and after a long wait they put the little patches of cream on to numb the area's they would try to put a needle in. He fell asleep on me for half an hour or so until they were ready. As you can imagine it was not a nice and easy task getting the canular in!! They then gave him medication to get him very drowsy and almost asleep but still awake. It took a needle point to scrape it off the cornea. It is still not known what it was, perhaps a little something from the beach last week? it looked just like a little speckle of paint. Darcy was quite aggitated and upset when the medication was wearing off and he was 'coming out of it'. After a few hours we got him to eat a lolliepop and had a drink of juice and a biscuit. We took him home and he had a good nights sleep last night. He is back to his normal self today and is heading back to hospital to make sure his eye healed up tomorrow. Poor little man!!!!!!!!!!
