The Johnsons meet the Huntsville E.R.

We became acquainted with the prompt care of our new city this week. It began on Wednesday when Olivia was taking off her socks. One of them popped up and hit her in the eye. She shed a few tears, and I did not think much more about it. When we were about to leave for church that night, I noticed that her eye was watering. We gave her Visene and sent her to bed that night. It took a long time for her to go to sleep. She was up at 12:30, 1:30 and 2:00. She said her eye and her ear was hurting. Mark finally got up and took her to the emergency room. It turned out that she had an abrasion on her eye and an ear infection. Who knew a sock could be so dangerous?!?

Anna Grace did not want to be left out. She started running a fever yesterday, and we took her to a walk in clinic this morning. She has an ear infection and an upper respiratory infection.

The good news is that we got these little medical excursions out of the way before we left for vacation. We are praying that we will be able to stay away from all medical facilities for the next week!
