Well, if the title doesn't help at all, Aidan woke up this morning and his goopy eye was much worse. Sure enough the doctor confirmed my suspicion, pink eye.
I woke him up at 8:40am since I needed to be at the church by 9am and was already running late. He wasn't up yet (not like him) and I looked at him and his right eye was "glued" shut. Poor guy I used wipes and after 5 minutes of wiping the goop was finally off enough that he could open his eye. So on my way to church (to work with the kiddo's during the Women's Bible Study) I called the doctor and made a 12:20pm appointment. Once we got there my girlfriend urged me to call again and get him in earlier. I did and by 10:15am we had prescription in hand a princess sticker on his pj's (yes his choice, and no he never got dressed today) and we were on our way to Target.
We filled our prescriptions (mine for my thyroid and his for his pink eye) and bought him a special "treat" for doing so well with his drops and at the doctors office. After this we were headed back to the church so that I could make sure everything went smoothly and touch base with the other ladies in the room. We put his drops in at church and he said "I don't want this mommy" but he was brave and let me do both sides without me holding him down!!
I was very impressed since I've heard horror stories of holding down 2 year old and 3 year old to put drops in their eyes or ear or whatever. Aidan was a champ!! He even let me put them in again after naps. We have to do this for a week 3 times a day so hopefully he continues to be such a good sport about things. He has a special treat of a little chocolate milk, or today chocolate pudding from his lunchable (another special treat the lunchable that is) for doing SO well with everything.
We are having a very low key day and tomorrow will be much the same. So hopefully I can take more pictures and post more pictures of our day tomorrow. Let's hope that I don't get pink eye too, I've never had it and never have seen it before today, but I think John had it last week and it went away on its own. He had the same thing going on with his eye. So, look for more posts tomorrow and the next day about what we are doing with our down time!! Hope you are all healthy!
