What a beginning to the summer! The first week was great! We basically hung out at home, going for walks, "swimming" the kiddie pool, and playing with all the Olivia's toys! It was a nice relaxing start. Finally on Sunday though we were ready to get out of the house, so Dan and I decided to head to see a movie with our friends Courtney and Kris. Aunt Bethany was available to babysit and that was a huge help.
When we returned from the movie Miss Olivia was all happy and smiles, but we noticed greenish goop coming out from her eyes. This happened before around Christmas time and the doctor explained it was probably because of her blocked tear duct she had at birth. We did not think much of it and had a nice afternoon hanging out with Bethany, Courtney, and Kris. About 4:00 she became fussy and nothing really made her happy unless she was being held. We figured she was tired and missing her cat nap she usually takes in the car on the way home from school. Well the little fussiness became full blown cries about 5:00 and we figured she was exhausted. Usually when she is tired she can be consoled and cuddled, but this was different she was crying continuously. We put her to bed around 6:00, assuming she would wake up. She did not wake up and was a happy little girl in the morning and the green goop disappeared. I called the doctor anyway in the morning. The office recommended I bring her in to get checked out. As soon as Dr. Landcaster saw her she said, "Usually pink eye comes from an ear infection." Sure enough she had an ear infection in her left ear and pink eye in her left eye. So to the pharmacy we went to pick up her antibiotics.
Dan and I were laughing because she was in day care with other kids for months and the same week she is home with us she had her first illness. I was glad she lasted almost eight moths! I think it is all that milk I am feeding her, filled with antibodies! haha
She is doing well now and is taking the medicine with out much of a fight!
