Pink Eye

Well we got our first pink eye infection this week. Sunday night into Monday, Will started to get a nasty cold and has been up most nights coughing and sneezing. Tuesday at daycare, Will woke up with slightly pink colored eyes and goopie stuff in them. Wednesday morning he woke up with the same thick goopie stuff in his eyes and the right one was matted shut. I called Brook, an nurse practitioner and our own personal doctor = ) and she said yep, I believe he has pink eye! So I called the doctor's office to get an appointment and I was informed that he did not actually need an appointment but the nurse would call in a prescription. Will's eyes started to clear up so I insisted on bringing him in for a second opinion. And it is a good thing I did because not only did Will have pink eye but he had an ear infection as well!! And I guess just because I am a mean mom, I decided it would be a great time to get his flu shot as well. Will was a trooper though and did great. He now has eye drops and antibiotics for his ear. I stayed home with him on Wednesday and today and if you didn't know you wouldn't be able to tell he is sick...outside of the crusty nose = ) He has been running around the house playing the last two days with no problems. Sorry no pictures to post. Maybe I can get some tomorrow but seriously you can't even tell he is sick!! He has been doing something really cute in the morning though. He yells...really loud I might add...."mommy, mommy!" and I go running into his room thinking he is hurt or something and then he says "I need a tissue". He is a character.
