Kennedy to the Emergency Room

Kennedy was opening a can of strong chemical paint remover that he had just bought and it exploded in his face. He called for help and a worker the owner had hired came running and brought him a bottle of water. From there, he managed to make his way to a water spigot and rinse his eyes off for several minutes. After that he walked to the house, told me he might have to go see a doctor, and went upstairs to rinse off his eyes some more. I quickly called some friends to come and take care of the kids, left them with the workers till the the friends could come, and sped Kennedy off to the Emergency Room. This hospital isn't very good, it has a pretty bad reputation, but it was the closest thing around. They didn't have a special eye-rinse, but the nurses on duty used saline solution hooked up to a IV line to thoroughly rinse his eyeballs & eye area off. (He said that hurt worse than anything else.) It worked pretty well, actually. He has slight burn marks around his eyes and a bandage on his nose where the cap cut him when it exploded. We are thankful he is fine.
It reminded me of the time I had to go searching for him along the street to bring him to the hospital in Lopburi after he had a motorcycle wreck. "You scare the beegeebees out of me when you do this stuff!" I said. He said, "Sorry." (Of course then I felt bad for saying it, it's not like he intends to!)
