Blinded for life?

I feel pretty horrible. I feel like I may have blinded Reese for life.

I was preparing to take Reese to the backyard to play in her pool and with the garden hose. She obviously needed sunscreen as it was one of the hottest days of the year. But I could not find the sunscreen spray, so I used old-fashioned sunscreen lotion. Everything was fine as we played outside for about half an hour.

Amy came home and we had Reese try on clothes for an upcoming family vacation, then I started preparing and making dinner (BBQ chicken and grilled vegetables). Then I noticed Reese's right eye was irritated and discolored.

She kept rubbing her eye, and it got worse and worse. The eye started to water and looked like she was crying. The sunscreen lotion had run down into her eye, and her rubbing the eye only made it worse.

But I should know that Reese will be fine because she is one tough cookie. She slept like a rock while our neighborhood seemingly exploded through the night celebrating our country's birthday. Not even a peep while the house shook as sticks of dynamite detonated nearby.

So what's a little sunscreen compared to that?
