The Sickness Continues

Well, after the stomach flu during Easter, to nasty colds 2 weeks later, I figured we were on the mend. I took Collyn in earlier last week because he had a cough and I wanted to make sure it didn't go to lungs. His lungs were clear and things were looking good. Just the good ol' common cold.

2 days later, Alden woke up with a little yellow gunk in the corners of his eyes after nap time. I didn't think anything of it, I just cleaned them out. Within 2 hours, they were covered in green goop (Gross, I know). I took him to a walk-in clinic in town.

The outcome.

Pink Eye. Both eyes.

AGAIN....

He had pink eye a few months ago and was put on antibiotics. Within 4 days he was in a head-to-toe rash and blisters because of an allergic reaction to the antibiotic. That amazing eye drop antibiotic was a 4 day 3 times a day eye drop.

Convenient.

Since he couldn't use that one this time, we have a 6 time a day (Yes, 6! which means every 2 hours... with a 2 year old) OINTMENT that you have to put across the bottom eye lid.... 6 times a day.... with a 2 year old.... You see where I'm going with this... Yep. Disaster.

To make it better.

10 days of antibiotic. TEN!

We are on day 5. Things are going okay. He has been rewarded with LOTS of M&M's for sitting still. The poor kid is tired of it. So am I.

We have a trip that we are going on this Thursday... With the antibiotic. Yay. :)

Is cold and flu season over yet?
