We have all had our share of doctor visits for the year this week. Ivey had gook coming out of both eyes last weekend so we went to the doctor Sunday morning and found out she had an ear infection in each ear. Joe had to keep the nusery by himself since we were at the doctor and claims one of the children got him sick - so sick in fact that he stayed home from work on Monday. Ivey had a rough day on Monday including the wee hours of Monday. She wasn't acting like she wasn't feeling well at all until she started taking medicine so it must have made her tummy hurt. Nothing could satisfy her - countless tears were shed. We all went back to school and work on Tuesday and Wednesday. Wednesday afternoon Ivey's teacher told me to keep an eye on her puffy left eye as pink eye had been going around. She woke up with a fever Thursday morning and the same little puffy eye, but still not pink or red and no gook leaking out. The nurse informed me that it was probably just allergies and to try giving her benadryl. Didn't seem to do much except make her take a 4 hour nap. Joe went to the doctor Thursday for antibiotics and my eyes were itching all day which I was hoping was just allergies. Friday, I woke up with both eyes glued shut from gook and was diagnosed with pink eye in both eyes. Ivey woke up with the same fever and a little gook in her eyelashes. Joe work up feeling worse and stayed home from work again. I took Ivey back to the doctor to get drops for what I decided must be pink eye and he said her ears were not getting better. We switched antibiotics and two days later she is still running a fever and crabby as ever. I'm thinking we'll be back at the doctor tomorrow morning to check on the ears again. We are all ready for our Ivey back!!
