I spent the afternoon at the doctors' office. I had to go to the eye doctor and found out I have a severe case of pink eye. My eye started bothering me around 11 am and now is almost swollen shut, hurts like I've been punched, and is so watery! The doctor told me he'd never seen a case come on so quickly and so severe! He told me I needed to call the pedi just as a precaution for E. Because of E's age, the pedi wanted me to bring him in just to be safe so off we went. His eyes were fine but he has an ear infection. All of this and we were supposed to leave for vacation Thursday. When it rains it pours!

Oh no! We just dealt with pink eye a few weeks ago! Luckily, the medicine doesn't take long to kick in and make things better! Good luck! Make sure you wash everything really well in the house!

I have to go back for a follow-up appt at the eye doctor Thursday morning. If I get the all clear, we plan on leaving soon after. It's too late to cancel and get a refund (the final day for that was Monday, of course!)

Oh man, I'll send some anit-pink eye vibes your way! I would think that it should clear up by then. Don't forget to wash all of your towels in hot water, even your kitchen hand towel! And stay on top of washing those hands!
