Well, we made our first unscheduled trip to the pediatrician’s office today. While Daniel’s cough seems to be slowly improving, Rebecca woke up with a goopy, yellow, crusty left eye. No waiting for a callback, I was one of the many people causing a busy signal at the doctor’s office at precisely 9AM. We got in at 3:15 and were seen right away, no waiting! I do like my pediatrician quite a lot. She took one look and said, “yup, conjunctivitis.” She checked ears to make sure there was no corresponding ear infection, and upon hearing Daniel’s cough, took a quick listen to both of their chests. All is otherwise well, and a trip to the pharmacy later, we have enough antibiotic ointment for four little eyes, just in case.
Oh, and if you’re keeping count, that’s four teeth pushing against little gums, one congested cold, and one case of pinkeye. And a 3-hour flight coming up on Friday. Wohoo!
Poor babies! Poor Mommy!
That really stinks. Sounds like you are handling yourself quite well…we are having an AWFUL day here too. Besides having to do the Heimlich on J, F spiked a 103.9 temp. When it rains, it pours. Hang in there!
Aye carumba! We’re sending you some get-well vibes from our neck of the woods.
