William's eye issue

The night before we left for a trip to Spain, we had to take William to the hospital to get his eye looked at.  I'll tell you the ending of the story first... his eye was okay.  It turned out to be a legitimate complaint.  He had a small scratch on his cornea.

The beginning of the story...  William & Calvin were sharing a bed because we had a guest over.  That night Calvin did something that evidently injured William's eye in the middle of the night.  We're not sure what.  I vaguely remember William coming and telling me that Calvin hurt his eye and I asked if he was okay and able to go back to sleep.  The next day he fussed a bit about his eye, but it didn't seem very serious.  This was 2 days before our departure.  The next morning, he really began to complain in earnest.  This was a Friday and the two eye doctors that we've used in the past weren't working on Friday.  So Dan ended up taking William to the hospital to get it examined.  We were nervous about the air pressure changes and if that would make it worse.  We also didn't want to get to Spain and have to deal with it then.

All-in-all, it wasn't so bad.  We got some eye drops to soothe it and after a night in Spain we never heard about it again.
