Visitng the Dr.

It never fails. We go to the Dr. for a checkup, and inevitable within a week or two we have to go back again for something. Lucky for us, it happened again. Mason and Brooklyn have been fighting colds for a couple weeks now. Nothing threatening, just pain-in-the-butt colds. Last night Mason's eye started gooping up pretty bad. Brooklyln's had goopy eyes off and on the whole time so I didn't really think anything of it. Unfortunately, it was a little more this time. Mason woke up with a swollen eye, red all around it, red on the eyeball, and watering like you wouldn't believe. Oh and lots of GOOP. It was very sad to see. As the morning progressed, he got worse little by little. I have no idea how to tell if something is allergies or otherwise, so I called my mom. She thought maybe it was pink eye and I hadn't even thought of that, so off we went to the Dr.... again. I'm glad we did though, she checked his ears and looked at his eye and gave us an antibiotic. She said that usually the ear on the same side can be sick, too. However in Mason's case, it's his right eye, and his left ear was red. No infections, thank goodness, but he still looks really sad. SO, we got an antibiotic (amoxocillin/pennicillan). It's the stuff I used to love to take (I think) but it isn't pink like I remember. Maybe it isn't the same, who knows. HOpefully it'll work and Mason won't be allergic. Here's our sad p0ics of mason's eye. I'd just cleaned it out (which he didn't appreciate), and Brooklyn's having her treat. It's just may be a LOOONG night for Jon. :S Ah well. Whatever it takes to get us healthy.

p.s. Shelly; whats your blog address?? You left me hanging!
