update on my "eyeball boy"

I started writing an entry last night, then fell asleep on my phone... I promise to finish it, but wanted to share that Harrison, the boy I made the intra-occular medications for, is doing well. The opthamologist is still pretty sure that he's gonna lose the eye - says the point of the meds was really more to keep it from abscessing into his brain and killing him. Who knows, there's a small chance he may still keep the eye.

I had a few minutes of down time, so snuck over to see him in the main peds ward. We shared a pair of "dum dums", and I used my 5 phrases of creole to have a little conversation with him. He says he feels very well, and is thankful that we are taking care of him.
