Little D has an eye infection. I took D to the UC after I got home from work today because his eye was red and oozing. Yeah, pretty YUCK! He's had a slight cold for about a week now and Dr G said it just kind of moved up into his eye. And like most eye infections/pink eye it's highly contagious.
My eyes have been itching and burning ever since she said that word.
We have to keep him home from day care at least one day for the antibiotics kick in so E will be staying home tomorrow. Ick, part of me is creeped out and am glad I'll be at work. His poor eye is gross and he keeps touching it and touching everything!! It's driving me nuts! You know the commercial where the kid comes home and he's sick and he touches the door knob and phone and all the neon germs grow and take over the house? That's exactly what I imaging is happening everytime D touches something. Neon pink eye germs are growing and pulsating until our house needs to be quarantined by haz mat! Yikes!! I normally don't do antibiotics but because he's in daycare and around other children I think it's probably for the best. Let's just nip this thing in the bud right away. If he was a stay at home kid I probably wouldn't give him anything, just let it run it's course and follow him around with a bucket of bleach water but I'm afraid of anything that could get others sick. It needs to be killed!
Oh, and now when daycare puts up a big "Your Child Has Been Exposed To Oozy Eye Illness" I will cringe in shame because that was my child exposing everyone. Sorry other parents, I truly am! But I guess it is what it is, that's what happens when a bunch of little ones get together in one location. Germs happen.
My poor D, he has no idea why I keep shouting for him to keep his hands down on his sides. He keeps telling me that he's trying but he can't.
And I thought the worst he would come home with is lice. My mistake. :-p
