As you can probably tell, Darren's left eye looks a little irritated. On the drive out of Sequoia on the way to his grandparents house, Darren's eye started giving him some trouble. When he woke up Thanksgiving Day, his eye was glued shut. His cousin Carrie is a doctor and was working Thanksgiving night so we followed her to the hospital so she could check it out. She gave him some eye drops but the next day (the day we went to Yosemite) his eye was worse than ever. He spent a lot of the day with his eyes shut because the light hurt it and he was tired of trying to keep it open. I felt so sorry for him. He was such a trooper though and we still had a great time. So for the rest of the story...we went back to the hospital that night and his cousin dug out a piece of something that had lodged itself in the middle of his eye. We got some more eye drops and his eye was better by the next morning. Thank goodness!
