Little Miss Pink Eye


Today we went to the doctor to get drops for Awyn's eyes. They started getting gooey Thursday, and when they stayed that way on Friday, we decided that we'd take her to the doctor if they didn't get better by Sunday. The doctor confirmed pinkeye. She's also fighting off a sinus infection, but that didn't require medication. We also discovered yesterday that another child in the park had pink eye, so it's apparently going around. Now Eric and I are trying very hard not to rub at our own eyes. It's funny how watching Awyn's eyes itch and water makes us feel that speck of yuck in our own eyes. Awyn hates the eye drops. Luckily it's only a five day thing. Of course, we're glad we have insurance. I couldn't find the real price, but our co-pay was about $15, which means those must have been $100 eye drops. That, or I need to re-confirm that they have her listed on our insurance.

Notice how curly Awyn's hair is. This is when it's allowed to dry after a bath. By morning all ringlets will be gone, but it will still be wavy.
