Attack of the Pink Eye

Yesterday, S woke up with a little bit of goo in the corner of her eye.  The eye itself didn't look red, so I thought maybe she just got something in it.  But, slowly over the course of the day, it got worse until she woke up this morning with it pretty red and swollen.

As a result, Mikes and I have had to tag-team babysitting since she couldn't go to daycare today.  He took a long morning shift (I meant to come home by 1pm, but got caught up with some work stuff) and I've got the afternoon.

The doctor thought it was most likely viral, but gave us goop to put in her eye so that she can return to day care on Wednesday (Tues is a holiday - PIONEER DAY!)


Man oh man.  Poor S is looking like a crazy baby.  I'm glad that she feels just fine, but that also makes her a handful to watch.  Mikes really stepped it up to watch her for so long this morning.  I am grateful, but also feel like he is marking another notch against having more kids . . .

Here's hoping to a speedy recovery and that neither of us catch pink eye! yikes!

yikes is right! remember the pink eye epidemic?? :) Luci and I got it over the spring and passed it back and forth for a while. Lots of fun! :) I"m sorry though that she can't be in daycare!
