Pink Eye

     Today Ansley had to leave MDO because they were afraid she had pink eye.  She woke up from her nap with red puffy eyes that were a little bit goopy.  I was SURE it was just allergies so I brought her home and gave her some allergy medicine and hoped for the best.  I kept asking Ansley if her eyes hurt or if she felt bad because she was so sad and wimpery, buy she insisted she was fine.  I finally got out of her that she was so sad because she had to leave school early and she didn't get to play with Makayla on the playground.  HA!  My child is the little socialite that is for sure.  Anyway, an hour after I gave her the medicine she said mommy I feel so much better look at my eyes now.  Well they did look better but they were still red and goopy so we went to the doctor.  He said "It is really just a guess, but my opinion is that it IS pink eye".
     We took the prescription to CVS instead of Walmart today because you get a $25 gift card for starting a new prescription.  (More to come at a later date about what I spent that gift card on)  The prescription is eye drops.  Now, you have to understand my child is SUCH a happy girl, however, she is SUCH the drama queen as well.  For example, just yesterday Ansley had a speck of glitter on her face.  I noticed while we were putting her to bed and so you know I was gonna have to get that off.  You would have thought I was trying to rip the hair out of her head because of the following meltdown.  She had in her pretty little head that the speck of glitter was gonna hurt  like the dickens to get off and during the flailing that ensued it just fell off on it's own.  You should have seen the priceless face when she realized it was off and she didn't even feel a thing.  I guess you can probably see where this story is going because now we are having to put drops in each of Ansley's eyes.  We talked really calmly to her about what was going to happen and even showed her what it would be like by me putting eye drops (not the prescription of course) in Jay's eyes.  It didn't help AT ALL!  Jay had to hold her down with her arms pinned back and I had to force her eye open enough to put a drop in them.
     All I can say is, neighbors, I promise we weren't abusing our child.  We were only trying to make the infection in her eye go away.  The exciting part is that we get to do this 4 times a day for a week. :)
