Eye Infection !!!

So I went to pick Skyler up from school on Thursday and found him with both eyes completely glued shut … uck! The doctor called in a prescription for some antibiotics and when we went to get them, there were two. Of course on call could not assist with why we got two antibiotics, so we had to wait to start treatment. Finally, on Friday morning we heard word that the pharmacy messed up with the two antibiotics and to just give him one. Here is a picture of his eyes on Friday morning …

By his face you can tell what kind of day we had … Of course all bad things (like days off from school for Skyler) come the day before I have a huge assignment due for my school!

So, Friday we started treatment and a lot of linen washing. By  Saturday morning (as Dr. Don predicted), his eyes were no longer goopy.

I think that everyone who had contact with Skyler was itching and scratching their eyes for days, suspecting the cooties may have passed to them. Fortunately, no one caught them. High Five for good hand washing skills everyone!!!

P.S. 1 eye drop per eye x 2/day
1 M&M per eye drop
7 days of eye drops

Gasparilla 2010

Skyler’s school had a Gasparilla parade this year and it was soooo cute. I snagged some cute pictures of the kids walking in the parade, but I stayed on the outside of the fence so I wouldn’t upset Skyler.

The real Children’s Parade was awesome this year!  I had class in the morning, but was able to make it back just in time for the parade (I think I had all the fun without the work b/c it was Brendan’s job to make sure the baby had a nap)! Brendan and Skyler met me at my mom’s house (which is just a short walk to Bayshore) just as the parade began. Patty and Brie, Adam and Kayden also met us there. We put the boys in the Phil N Teds and walked to Kara’s house for the celebration. Patty shared some of her special beads from last year with the boys so they were dressed for the occasion! When we got to the parade, Patty and I went looking for food for the boys while Brie, Adam and Brendan scored some extra beads from the pirates. I got Skyler a footlong corndog (this is Skyler’s favorite food) . His eyes got huge when he saw the size of it! He wasn’t sure how to hold it and had to use my head to prop it up. We had so many beads by the end that our necks felt like they were going to fall off!!!!! Skyler even saw his pre-school director in the parade and she gave him a very special necklace!!! All the kids around him were very jealous! (Have I ever mentioned how spoiled our child is?) As you can tell from some of the pictures, it threatened rain all day, but for the most part it stayed dry. Kayden got a little tired and had to head back to Kara’s a little early, but we had promised Lindsay that we would watch her float come by … of course it was the last one! Lindsay’s mom and sister, Lauren and Anne Marie, met us at the parade right before her float when by. Lindsay and John looked great! After the parade we had some snacks at Kara’s and then headed home. What a DAY! I am sure the boys were exhausted, because I know we were!!!!!
