It's time to catch up on the very exciting highlights of my week. Yep. Very exciting!
Most of the week has been spent on Mark's eyeball. His left eyeball turned blood red the week before last. It was diagnosed as pink eye. Then last Saturday Mark woke up with vision problems. So we ended up at the E.R. making sure it wasn't something more serious. Nope. Just pink eye. And new antibiotic drops.
With the vision problem, Mark hasn't been able to drive. So he ended up home on Father's Day. Since his eye is so light sensitive, I thought we'd take Mark to the movies. We went to see The Avengers and then out for a fancy lunch at Culver's (burgers, shakes). Avengers was fun, but my favorite summer movie so far is still Men in Black III.
But before leaving for the movie, Mark spent some time cuddling with Emma.
Warning: this next shot is a little scary! It's Mark's cyborg eye. Emma thinks he looks like a zombie.
While at Walgreen's, I had to pick up this patch for Mark. And we spent a bit of time practicing saying "aarrrrrr" like a pirate.
On a more serious note, it turns out that Mark did not have pink eye. He saw the opthomologist on Monday and he has iritis, which means his iris is attached to his pupil. Which could result in permanent vision loss if not treated quickly. He started on steroid drops and it looks like he will be okay. He should be ready to return to work this Sunday.
Another memorable moment this week was when my car hit the 200,000 miles on the odometer. Poor girl. She has to drive so many miles every month!
The Murano hit 200,000 miles on the way to dinner at Wildflower Bread Co. After a yummy bread bowl of Chicken Coconut Curry soup, I split a cupcake with Mark and Emma. It was pretty and the frosting was perfectly sweet!
The last photo I have to share is from Thursday night. Mark and Katie rebuild a bookshelf that had fallen apart. Literally. It was great to hear them working together. Daddy and daughter. And Mark is not the handyman type at all. So I was really proud of him when the job was done and the bookcase was moved back into Katie's room!

Oh, wow! That whole eye business is so scary! I'm glad he got it figured out and is being treated properly. My husband is not handy either, so I can totally relate with how proud of your husband you are over the rebuilt bookshelf :)
ReplyDelete200,000 miles!! That's so amazing.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you and the Murano, haha :)
Thanks! The sad thing is that the car is only 6 yrs old. I have a long commute to work.
