On Sat. the 21st, Chuck had gotten home, and wasn't home long when Nick called. Sounded a little bit shaken, and wanted to know if Chuck was here. Then, asked if we could come get him. My stomach dropped, and I feared it might be an accident. Well, him & the buds like to do different things on the weekends which is with paint ball guns, air soft wars, pulling little pranks, and etc. Nothing serious, and all harmless...at least they are not drinking & smoking:) Well, on Sat. the 21st the 'guys' did their paint ball guns wearing their masks, then later decided to do air soft wars. Catch, no one wore their safety glasses for this. Unfortunately, Nick was shot in the eye with a BB. We had him at ER that night in Sheldon, and then were requested we take him to Sioux Falls...Darn, Chuck just left there too...HeHe! So, we were in Sioux Falls all night due to the specialist needed for his eye there. Great people in the ER there too!:) Next morning seen the specialist, took Nick out of work for the week, and he seen the local eye doctor here 3 times. Putting drops in his eye has not been pleasurable. Fri the eye dr. put a med in that made his pupil dilate big time! He looked like he had a bug eye!
Well, he is coming along better, and rules have been set for safety glasses now with the home they all gather to do these things at:) Nick is tired of it, but we now know it shouldn't happen again either:) Below are a few pictures from a couple of days after it happened. Eye started doing much better once the BB was dropped out of the eye...now the healing. Which the eye dr. informed us could take up 2-3 months for the swelling to fully be gone.
