Eye doc

Last Thursday we had to take Addison to the eye doctor (because she was premature, they wanted to check up on her eyes). My little lady was a good girl at the doctor when they dialated her eyes and even went into the kids room and shared very well with a little boy about her age. We found out that Addison has a lazy eye and she is far-sighted so that means glasses!!! How on earth am I going to keep glasses on her face. She immediately rips them off my face so she will for sure be taking hers off. We go back on the 19th of November to confirm her perscription and get her glasses. I was upset about it at the time but there is not a whole lot I can do plus she will look cute in glasses. I guess if this is the worst thing that has happened from her prematurity, I will take it!!! =]

Our trip to the ER

Tonight turned out to be a very interesting one. I was at Hy-Vee having dinner with Ryan on his break when I get a phone call from my mom telling me to go and ask the pharmacist a question. I immediately think something is wrong with Addison until my mom says, "we need to know if there is a way to make Hank throw up." Hank followed my mom to the basement while she was doing laundry and found some rotten raw chicken breasts on the floor and decided to eat them. My mom got something out of their chest deep freeze the other day and had to move the chicken breasts and forgot to put them back in. Anyway, back to the pharmacist. She told me to give him a tablespoon on Hydrogen Peroxide and if that didn't work in 15 minutes to try again. We did that and it didn't work so we headed down to the emergency care center for animals. We find out there that it is 1ml to every pound. Well, Hank is 70 pounds, no wonder it didn't work. So Hank was given drugs to induce vomitting (Lovely, I know). Lowe and behold, he vomits. He vomits up 7 whole chicken breasts. Whole, he never chewed those gross rotten chicken breasts! The vet comes out to tell us this discusting, smelly story and to also let us know that they want to keep Hank for an hour for observation because he was staggering, his heart was racing, and he was acting funny. What a way to spend a Friday night!!!!
