Papa's Eye

This was taken a few days after the air canister exploded in his face in November. When I took the picture he couldn't open his eye at all and it's really not a great picture. If you look close you can see that his eye is all gummed up and there is a red area around his eye and down his face a bit. The first day that was all dark brown with embedded sand!! It took several days of showers for it to completely go away. The whites of his eye were full of blood and you could easily see sand embedded in it. He was in a lot of pain until it cleared out. Tears are amazing. Every morning there would be trails of crud down his nose.. were the tears had cleaned the sand out of his eye while he slept. During the day he was constantly wiping crud off. God made our bodies absolutely magnificently!! It was amazing to see his eye heal itself!! He was back to work the next day and his vision was perfect in less then a week!
The band aid on his thumb was a cut from pig butchering when he cut the outside of his knuckle almost to the bone!! Nasty!! It took a while to heal but it finally did.
