Mr. P and his eye appointment

Mr. P was very brave and went to his first in-office eye appointment in almost 4 years. Usually, he gets his eyes checked when he is under general anesthesia for his PWS lasering. He was actually excited to go and it went really well until they wanted to check him for glaucoma. P did not like the eye drops and liked the pressure meter even less. Poor resident Dr. had to struggle to try to do her job with a very angry and upset little boy who refused to open his eyes. The worst was after the glaucoma tests she had to put more eye drops to dilate his eyes. He was so upset with her and me. He told us that he did not like us and he was very mad at us. He even went to my purse and took my i-phone away from me as punishment. Poor guy.
Luckily, his Dr. said that everything looks fine and will not need to be seen until he is 6. When I told him this, he said that he was not going to go back to the eye doctor ever.

That looks like the same office Max & Beck were in. Did you have a resident come in with a furry pink purse that held goodies like a wind-up lady bug?

And yes, damn the drops, damn them to hell!
