So last night Clayton woke me up at 2am and said his eyes really hurt and i was so tired and so just thought it would go away. I watched him sit there in pain and then he said he couldn't see anything and then i started to panic(to myself) . It progressively got a lot worse so we knew we had to go to the ER. I lead him down to the car because he couldn't see and went and got Jayni up. As we were driving i was thinking as well as he was that he was really going to be blind. I knew no matter what everything was going to be ok and i kept telling him that cause i could see that he was really scared and thought he'd done something serious to his eyes. This all happened at work, he was asked to weld something and he told them that he hadn't done much of it but went ahead anyways. while he was welding he took his goggles off to see what he was doing well in the process of that he burned his eyes. We walked in and i was leading what looked like the blind and the nurse had an uh oh look on her face, that didn't help. Well they ended up putting some numbing drops in which made it possible to open his eyes and let me tell you they were the reddest eyes i have ever seen. the doctor let me look through the microscope to see. it was pretty crazy and overall a pretty intense night. He took the day off today and his eyes look a lot better than they did this is a picture about 24 hrs after it happened. He said it is the worst pain ever and he is one to know pain so it must've been horrible. I'm so glad he is ok and there is nothing wrong with his eyesight.

Oh wow, I'm glad he's ok! That is so scary, I can't imagine much worse things than losing your eyesight.
That's pretty scary. Glad he's all right.
gosh, Clayton you are the king of injuries, I think you have gone to the ER more this year than I have in my lifetime plus my kids, and plus John. I am so glad you can still see.
Trips to the ER, no fun! I guess we've both had scary experiences with the ER in the last week and luckily they both turned out alright. Glad to hear he's doing well.
