I should have known. It should have been the first thing I thought of. All those months we spent last year on antibiotics should have triggered my memory.
But no.
When Kate started getting sick last Friday, I didn't think much of it. Then Saturday and Sunday, as she progressively got worse, as she complained about her eyes, as snot started pouring forth from her nose...I still didn't consider the possibility.
On Monday, Christmas Eve, when she had a fever and super red, puffy eyes that she was constantly rubbing and complaining about, I contemplated the possibility that she had pink eye. Of course, Tuesday was Christmas, so there wasn't much I could do about it then. She still had a fever, super snot, cough and red eyes. She went to Papa and BonBon's with us in the morning, but she and Daddy stayed home from Grammie's in the afternoon. No point in contaminating everyone.
Yesterday morning I called the clinic and managed to get her in right away. I wasn't convinced she had pink eye due to the fact that her eyes weren't goopy, but she looked HORRIBLE and was SUPER CRANKY and had been awake almost EVERY HOUR during the night, so I was desperate.
Double ear infections. Didn't even cross my mind that she had an ear infection, which is fairly ridiculous since she had them all winter and spring last year.
So, lots of videos this week. Fortunately, due to the holidays, we aren't missing any of our normal stuff. Just Momma's exercise. I guess I should be disciplined in my eating this week.
Next time I'll think of that first. Hopefully. Maybe we'll sleep more.
Oh, and no pink eye. Just a cold.

Oh I'm so sorry. I hope the meds work quickly this time. There's nothing worse than a sick baby. Except two sick babies. We'll be praying that doesn't happen!
I'm so sorry. What a miserable way to spend the holidays! I also pray that the meds kick in quick, and that no one else gets sick!
