It's Birthday Time.....Again!!!

Tanner is turning 11 today!!!! No, the pirate-look is not part of his outfit, that is a whole different story!** More pictures later, just wanted to wish our favorite Pirate a Happy Birthday!!!

**Last night Tanner went to a party at his Sunday school teacher's house. They were celebrating everyone's birthdays for the year in one shot. Someone threw a tennis ball at Tanner and apparently, they had pretty good aim; it hit him right in the eye! He is the sweetest boy, he tried not to make a big deal about it even though it hurt like lightening! We picked him up when it was over and he told us what had happened. We could tell it must have hurt just by the condition of his eye. It was all red and a little swollen.

A couple of hours later we really got a good look at it and Scott called the Urgent Care number. The Advice Nurse said it sounded like we needed to come in. We told her that his pupil was elongated and there was blood pooling behind the iris.

We spent 2 1/2 hours up at Doernbecher Hospital in Portland (yes, the same hospital that Thomas got to hang out in with his finger injury). They have the most amazing staff of Doctors there. Their bedside manners are above and beyond anything I have ever seen. It looks like his eye is going to be ok. We're just watching it and he's taking it very easy. If it were to start bleeding again or not drain properly it could cause glaucoma and that would not be good.

More later!!!! Stay tuned for pictures of the party!!!!
