Good, Bad, Worse

Let's just say this last weekend didn't turn out so happy. It started out really good in fact. Kurt and I were able to go on a double date with my sister and her husband, without any kids, and enjoy ourselves. After we had some delicious mexican food, we watched Just Go With It. Oh it is such a funny movie, one of the best investments we've made, or one of them. Then on Saturday, JK and Kelsee invited us to go to Sand Hollow and adventure on their wave runners. We found a play ball and the boys had fun trying to pass it between each other, most of the times however, it didn't reach them, and they would end up in the water from trying to catch it. We got some good sun rays and just had a blast. Thanks JK and Kelsee for inviting us! Here is where it goes down hill. Before we went to the lake, Kurt's eye was getting a little red, however it was effecting him at the time. But his eye was just producing tons and tons of goobers. So when we came home we went and got some pink eye drops thinking it was pink eye. But I just felt that as soon as we put the drops in, it made his eye even more red and worse. During the night, Kurt had to wake up a few times because his eye was sealed shut. Not a pleasant feeling he tells me. I figure he is not going to church, and so I just ended up going to Sunday School to teach our class and come home to his needs. By late afternoon his eye is burning him and leaking uncontrollably. We ended up going to the instacare to see if they could help. They gave us a perscription to see if it helps and the doctor tells us it is either pink eye or a virus, which can often times infect both eyes, and both are pretty contagious. By this time we are also applying an ice pack to see if it helps, which it does a little, however it doesn't stop for long and feels as if its getting worse. We run back to the instacare and ask if there is something else, and without further questions they give us some other type of eye drops and send us on our way, praying that these drops do the trick. I felt so helpless, what could I do to make the pain go away? Nothing really but sit at his side. Which for me was really painful. We have been lucky enough in our time together that nothing has really happened to us to where it made the other in so much pain until now. I hope never to have something like this happen again, however I know that it will sometime. Going off to work was even worse, because I could not be near him. But I was able to look up some things on the internet that could help soothe the pain, a warm wash clothe. My grandma is really big into homeopathics and so I asked her what ones will get rid of the pain. I was so relieved when it was time to go home, so I got him the homeos and ran home. I had noticed a big decline in the redness in his eye from the warm wash clothe, so that was comforting to know that he looks to be getting better. Popped in the homeos and prayed that they would work. He is still in a some pain here and there, but not as much as he was yesterday. I can finally breathe knowing that he is getting better. I have never experienced such pain before as I sat back wanting so bad to be able to help, and having no control over the situation. All I could was hold his hand and try and comfort him. Kind of opens your eyes of how maybe the Savior feels or our Father when we are struggling down here up earth. I love you Kurt and wish you would return back to your happy old self again.
