Dishwasher War

So today (after having had a mentally and physically exhausting day) I was doing dishes before cooking dinner.  The dishwasher was just emptied and I was getting ready to load it.  One second, I'm surveying the dishes on the counter and the next second I hear a scream next to me.  Emery decided to take out the bottom rack, set it on the floor then, for reasons unknown, did a face plant onto the rack poking his right eye near his nose.  I quickly look down to see a little boy bent over, face in the rack.  It took a second for my brain to register just what had happened and then another second to register the possible outcomes.  I quickly grabbed him and examined his eye.

He had a big hole cut and was starting to bleed quite a bit.  I held him for a minute and he stopped crying.  Then I notice about two minutes later that blood was starting to come out of his nose.  I called my neighbor to get a second opinion on what I should do because Emery was no longer crying and his eye movement was normal.  So were his pupils.  She was gracious enough to volunteer to take me to insta-care to get him checked out.  My fear was that he had puncured all the way through and damaged something, especially since I had no idea how far he was poked.  I was also worried because he had already been experiencing his R.A.D. symptoms lately and anytime something big happens with him like teething or R.S.V. or Pneumonia or something it gets worse.  His osats today were 89/90.  About what I figured.  So looks like we get to battle with the nebulizer tonight (Emery loathes that thing).

Long story short, there is no lasting damage done.  It did not go all the way through the second layer of eyelid, just the first (didn't know there was more than one).  They were able to glue it shut instead of having to use stitches.  Thank goodness!!  A couple hours after getting home I started noticing bruises on his left side...poor thing!  Some people would say the dishwasher won.  I say Emery did.  He was a trooper!!  I hope tonight goes smoothly for him...and me.
