A first time for everything....almost!

We got our first phone call from Landon's mother's day out program on Thursday. It went something like this....

Teacher: Mr. Hall, we have a little problem at school.

Jeremy:  What happened?

Teacher:  Landon took his eye out and handed it to me.

Jeremy: He did????

Teacher: Yes, what do I do with it?

Jeremy: Uhhhhh, just leave it out and we'll put it back in when he gets home.

Teacher:  Leave it out?

Jeremy: Yes.

Teacher: Okay.... Can he play on the playground?

Jeremy:  Yes, he can play on the playground!

I have a feeling this is one of MANY calls we will be getting throughout Landon's school  years. Until he wants a girlfriend that is. So although he didn't actually take his eye out, he took out the tissue expander that is supposed to stay in there in order to "prep" the tissue for his prosthetic. We tried like heck to get it back in and we all experienced de ja vu! (think scleral shell trauma). I talked to the doctor's office today and they said just leave it out. Any time he had with it is better than no time at all and it shouldn't affect the time in which he gets his prosthetic. 

I think it was bothering him anyway. He constantly had his fingers in his socket. I was constantly telling him "get your finger out of your socket!" He replied with a look of total annoyance! "duh mom, it itches!!"

Have a blessed weekend! We love yall.
