I emailed our pedi last night (we have the
best pedi in the world!) and she wasn’t happy that the doctor
prescribed Amoxicillian for just pinkeye so she asked me to
bring Lex in to her office today. We couldn’t get an
appointment with her, but we saw another doctor at her office
who diagnosied him with acute octitis conjunctivitis (or
something like that – basically ear/eye infection) and she
prescribed a different medication (which cost me $50!!!) Our
pedi emailed later in the afternoon to check in and answered
some additional questions I had. Like I said – the best pedi
ever!
Unfortunately this morning Alan
started feeling sick too (sore throat, painful ears, etc.) He
called and made an appointment with the doctor for him and I
tomorrow. I’ve still been taking the pinkeye drops though,
because my eyes were definitely red and gunky and the drops
seem to be helping. I have to wear glasses for a few days
though – blah!!
So that’s the update.
Hopefully we get a little sleep tonight. The past two nights
have been awful.
However, on the up
side, Lex has become an expert at getting his nose wiped. He
used to hate it, now he sits patiently, almost expectantly. He
even watches me blow my nose then makes a little face and
sticks his nose at me for wiping :) I love him!!
