A First

On Friday afternoon I got a call from the day care that Campbell had woken up from his nap with matted, red eyes.  Don't these things always happen on Friday afternoons?  Since I was still at work, I sent Judd to go pick him up and make sure we didn't need to take him to the doctor.  Unfortunately, Campbell had green stuff coming out of his eye so we called our awesome pediatrician at 4:00 and had an appointment for 4:30.  As Dr. K was checking him out she said that pink eye sometimes accompanies ear infections.  We thought we wouldn't have to worry about that because he hadn't been running fever or acting like his ear was bothering him. Wrong! Diagnosis: ear infection.  A pretty bad one.  We left the office with some eye drops and a prescription for an antibiotic.  We are grateful that the little guy made it this long without getting an ear infection.  Bailey had quite a few ear infections before she was a year old and always had a very high fever to go along with it.   She always looked and felt pitiful until the antibiotics really kicked in.  Thankfully, Campbell had a better experience with his first ear infection.  And hopefully there won't be anymore!  Here's to hoping...
