Pink Eye

Last night Caleb's right eye started looking a little pink. This morning he woke up with lots of crusties and his lashes were glued shut. Poor baby. He looked at me with his open eye and a confused look on his face. I took a warm wash cloth and softened the crusties until his lashes would open. His doctor prescribed some antibiotic eye drops (which are soooo hard to get in his eye) so he should be all better soon. He will be contagious for 24 hours from the start of medication so that means around 10am tomorrow. So we've been cooped up in the house today (except for going to pick up his meds) and he is being such a good sport about it. Where did he get it? Who knows? Maybe on the playground or at church or who knows where else. He seems too young to have pink eye already!! The nurse said that I need to watch out for an ear infection because sometimes kids that are prone to getting them will develop one when they have pink eye. Great, just what he needs! Poor kid. He's still cute though, even with his pink little eye. :) See his right eye? This was taken at breakfast. Caleb loves bananas!
There's that smile!
Here he is after lunch with a mouthful of cookies!! Get better soon, my love!

OH NOOOO!!!!But that is the cutest pink eye I have ever seen though! lol! Poor Caleb- he looks so sweet I want to squish him and make it all better- I hope his mood stays upbeat and he doesn't get mushy...it's so hard when they don't FEEL good and act it. You don't know what to do for them!

omg Kim those really are the cutest pics of him and that lil eye!!!! Hoping it's gone quickly though!!!
