Poke in the eye

It has been a while since I have updated. That doesn't mean alot has happened. Here's an update.

• Eric started his new job as a Pizza Hut delivery driver. I think that he is enjoying it. However, it has been requiring long hours. Yesterday he worked from 3pm-12am. and today from 12pm-9pm(I hope.) This is the longest span of time that we have been apart since September. I miss him, but we will find our routine soon.
• Emily's word of the month for October was "down."
• Oma and Opa came and visited the weekend of the 23rd. We were so glad to have them here.
• We have been visiting churches. Elmbrook, First Assembly of Waukesha, Oakwood, and Crosswalk. We have been challenged by the preaching in these churches and encouraged to see God working throughout the Waukesha area.
• Eric and I have been watching the last episodes of Battlestar Galactica.
• Emily has been waking up in the middle of the night. I always find her sitting up. She seems to not know what to do and can't go back to sleep sitting up. It has made for some short nights.
• Tonight Emily used a fork to eat macarroni. She did really well.

I'm sure your wondering about the poke in the eye. While Emily was in the nursery this morning, she poked her eye. (This is what they told us.) She seemed to be fine until I put her coat on to leave. She then preceded to cry from 10:30 until 12. This didn't make her eye feel any better. At noon, she feel asleep for two hours. However, I held her for the whole nap because I wanted her to sleep and not wake up. Sure enough, when I put her into her bed after two hours, she woke up almost instantly. My cousin, Kevin, who is an eye doctor, prescribed medicine for her eye. It seems to have helped, but she still has a very red, irritated eye. She played at Grandma's house this evening with her Aunt and Uncles and was for the most part fine. We pray that God heals her eye over night with the help of the medicine.
