Finally Preston slept all night without waking up because he was itching. Yay! The antibiotic is working and the itch lotion is great. BUT Kyla was up a few times. Rubbing her eyes and saying ouch. I thought GREAT! Pink Eye. She had a chance of being exposed last week and I could’ve missed something while cleaning that the infected child touched and then she touched or she could’ve picked it up somewhere. Though we haven’t been anywhere. But anyways, we slept in a little bit this morning, thank goodness and then got up and sure enough her eye was slightly red. Called the Dr. and they got us in around noon. So we dropped Preston off at gymnastics and Dad picked him up while Kyla and I ran over to the Dr. One look and they knew exactly why she was there because by then her right eye was red and the goop had started. So we got a prescription for some eye drops and headed off to meet Dad and Preston for lunch.
Preston barely ate cause the antibiotic was still messing with his tummy but luckily he did eat breakfast and by his second dose today it didn’t bother him, so we should be good. Kyla chowed on my pita bread from my salad and Jarod had a sandwich. It’s awesome having the Dr. just down the road from his work and that he works and such a great company that allows them to do what they need to do when they need to do it. Plus Dad can be really awesome and helpful when he wants to :0). Thanks!
After lunch we head back to the pharmacy to get her eye drops and then head home to the fun part, putting the drops in. I did have the choice of drops or the goo stuff but chose the drops. And I’m glad I did. The first round was like trying to put them in a cat but the second round was sooo much easier. I gave her a bit more control over the situation and she sat on the couch looked up at the light behind her and I dropped one drop at a time in her eye. She’s awesome when you take the time to explain what you need to do. She has such great comprehension of things when you explain them to her, it’s sooooo nice!
By this evening she was feeling better and I busted out the plastic eggs I picked up at the new dollar store next to the gym(I went last night) and we did Easter Egg hunts. The kids had a blast!! Here are some more photos of that:
