A Tale of Two Mamas

Trying to keep someone IN timeout

Pink eyes.

Yesterday morning I went upstairs to get Emmy because she was crying and I found her eyes caped with boogies. It was so thick and no matter how hard she tried she still couldn’t open her eyes.

I instantly freaked out and rushed her downstairs. Margot was taking her shower and we undressed Emmy and put her in the shower too.

These pictures were taken after we had cleaned her up. I just couldn’t bring myself to take a picture with her looking so yucky.

It appears that Emmy has pink eye. Graem’s has been gone for over a week now and no sign of it anywhere. I’m guessing Emmy could have gotten it at the Sciencenter or around town.

I was able to get Emmy into a 9:15am appointment with her pediatrician and we got the magical drops. I put the drops in and within hours the goop was gone. However, her eyes, lids, and sockets are still red/pink.

I feel so sorry for this little girl and I felt so helpless yesterday when she woke up and couldn’t see. Of course, within minutes she was laughing and smiling.

As for my cold/virus - it seems to be getting better. This morning was the first day that I didn’t cough up a lung when I woke up. I’ve been on antibiotics for nearly a week now and I’m not sure they’ve actually helped. I think it’s just that the virus has ran it’s course in my body.

Hopefully, this sickness stuff is behind us and we won’t get nailed again!

It looks like our little girl was in a fight!

One of my eyes is all red today. Could I have caught it too?
