Swollen Eye




On Sunday morning, Julia's right eye seemed a little swollen.







We continued with our day. We went to the local art show and Julia got a face painting.

During the day I kept a close eye on her eye. When I saw it was getting worse, I took her to the ER.

Luckily I did. Found out it is VERY serious. She had a skin infection by her eye (not an eye infection). If the swelling got much worse, it could effect her vision. There is a thin membrane behind the eye, that all information passes through. The pressure from the swelling could rupture it. She started antibiotics immediately. However, by the next morning, her eye swelled shut. The good news is that it got better and better from there. We believe her vision was not hurt.
