pink eye

one more thing that Emma has gotten from her brother. Aidan had to go to the dtr on Wed. and we were told that he definitely had pink eye and was not allowed to go to school the next day. When I went to pick up Emma Wed. afternoon it looked like someone had punched her in the eye, it was pitiful. So, I took her to the dtr yesterday morning and she also has it. I was glad to go to also ask them about her still being congested and having to clean her nose out constantly. They told me they weren't concerned as long as she didn't have a temp and wasn't coughing with every breath. I'm not sure if that really makes me feel better or not, I guess I will just continue to do the same thing I've done and hope that it clears up soon. The Medicine they give you for pink eye really works fast, both of their eyes already look better. Even though its more than difficult to put eye drops in both an infant and a toddler, talk about torture! I'm so paranoid about touching my eyes now and I think my hands are going to dry out from putting anti-bacterial gel on them. But, other than her eye and a little congestion they said she was very healthy and they were happy to see she was still gaining weight throughout all of these boughts of sickness. She was still wearing her clothes and diaper, but she weighed in at 16lbs! My big girl. I wonder if she'll be any heavier when we go back for her 4 month check up in two weeks?
