Tea Bag Pirate
Credits: Bounce by Shabby Princess
Aiden’s eye has been swollen for the past 3 days, today is the 4th day already. It wasn’t so bad the first 2 days… I even took him to Megakids and he was happily running and tumbling about. My parents suggested to soak a tea bag and refrigerate it to be put over the swollen eye or wash it with over night tea.
Yesterday when he woke up, the swelling got bigger… I got really worried. So I applied the cold tea bag over his eye but (you know lah.. my son…) he just wouldn’t lay still. And he was screaming bloody murder as if the tea bag was scalding hot!
So drama!! I know… some of you must be saying… “Ya…Who’s son?” I don’t know what was more excruciating…The fact that he have to have the tea bag on his eye or the sheer fact that he had to lay still for quite some time ..
Well.. it’s definitely the second coz.. I really don’t think it’s painful at all! And I know that he just wanted to continue playing with his video games…
So what do I do? I had to improvise lah.. I took my hair elastic and made it into a ‘sling’ to hold the tea bag over his eye, so that he can still sit up and run about..
So cool.. He looks like a pirate, not like he needed any help! Kekeke!
What would you have me do? I just had to make the best of the situation ok!
Anyway, I took him to the doc later that afternoon. The doc said that it’s probably due to a blocked oil gland (pretty funky oil glands I must say..) or maybe his hands were grubby and he rubbed his eyes with them… Hmm, sound like Aiden alright.
She also tested his eye sight and (again) Aiden couldn’t read the last 3 lines on the bottom..
Why I say again is because it’s happened before. Remember Cailyn’s birthday? His eye was SO swollen (worst then) and when I took him back for a check up he couldn’t do the 3rd line as well. And the doc there said that he might need some glasses.. How le? My son… with glasses? Not possible… it’ll break in like a few seconds or he’ll loose it while trashing about… unless we get those goggles kind that will stay on.
Stylish!!
