Caregiving is no small task. It’s a journey filled with constant responsibility, and sometimes, one slip-up can feel like the world is crashing down.
Last night, I followed our usual bedtime routine with Jacob — removed the eyelid tape and got him settled in. But this morning, he woke up complaining that his eyes hurt and asked for drops. A few hours later, his eyes looked awful. I immediately messaged Dr. French, who said they looked very concerning and wanted to see Jacob that afternoon.
By 2pm, Barb got home and realized I had forgotten to take out Jacob’s scleral lenses the night before. They’d been in for nearly 20 hours. I was devastated. I cried and cried — I couldn’t believe I’d missed something so important.
But through prayer and grace, what seemed like a serious issue turned out to be a fixable mistake. Dr. French prescribed antibiotic drops, and Jacob should be back to normal in a day or two.
Lesson learned — this dad won’t be making that mistake again. 🙏
