Poor Luke

Ever since we brought Luke home he's had something wrong with his eye. Husband thought is was an infection and had been using some medicine we had used on Dagmar when she was a pup. Today we realized it wasn't getting any better so I took him to the vet.

Doc G. took one look at it and said, "Oh yeah, I know what this is." Luke has a condition where his eye lid turns in causing his lashes to rub on the eye continually. At 4 or 5 months he'll have to have surgery to correct it. Right now he's to young to put under so they put in a local and stitched the lids back a little. He has 2 stitches in the top and 1 in the bottom. I'd post a picture, but it isn't pretty.

Entropian
Definition: An eye condition in which the eyelids are grown inward, causing the eye lashes to come into contact with the eye itself.
Pronunciation:En*tro*Pee*an • (adjective)
Examples:The dog's eye was red and irritated from her entropian eyelids.
(I found this on another web site...I don't remember which one.)

I had to take B.B. to a WIC appointment today and came home to find #1 Son and Baby Girl in the bath. Husband had taken them to the park after school to play. When they came home they had to be bathed.

I'm not sure exactly what happened, but #1 Son emptied a half full bottle of kids shampoo into the tub. I had to give them showers to get all the soap out of their hair. Now I'm beginning to wonder if #1 Son has some kind of strange bath product obsession. I'm going to have to get a lock for the linen closet!
