but not in the eye! LG went to bed last night really congested and just seeming out of sorts. I think he is suffering from allergies like his mommy. The dust, the dryness, the heat - it all adds to crud in the nose and eyes... Or is it pink eye?
I read on WebMD that pink eye is not so much the eye lids being red but the actual whites of the eyes being red. But what about the gunk? Gunk is listed as both an allergic reaction and with pink eye. What's a mom to do?
Thank the LORD I have a great and flexible job. I was able to get him into his new pediatrician -- who he just saw last week. And she said she thought it really was just allergies or a cold/virus. She also gave me the RX for the pink eye antibiotic but said to hold off on giving it to him unless it got worse. Better safe with the RX in hand than sorry and have to go back or have them call it in.
Now, the question is, what to do about Tuesday? Do I keep him home to make SURE its not pink eye (although that is what today was for)? And staying home he just naps better so do I keep him home one more day for the rest? Unfortunately, hubs has a crazy week of exams and studying so he cannot really stay home.
AURGH! These are the challenges of being this working mom. Getting to bed at a decent hour will help make the decision-making process in the morning easier. Right?

That's odd that the doc didnt tell you if it was pink eye or not....so do you give him the meds if you "think" its pink eye? weird! Did they give anything in case it was allergies/cold?
Anyways - hope the eye feels better soon & if its pink eye - it doesnt spread! My daughter just picked it up from her son just a few months ago!! Hang in there!
Thanks for the note. The Dr said it probably was not pink eye but instead of me having to bring him back in if it did get infected, she just gave me the RX. Today he was better until I took him for a walk. It's definitely allergies... we are both suffering from them.
