Ughhhhhh.

I can't believe it ... I have conjunctivitis.

Pink Eye people!!!

This post is pretty graphic ... so if you get grossed out easily ... stop reading!


I look pretty beat up in this picture don't I?

The first sign was a red eye. As the day progressed it got more goopy, runny, red and swollen. Mike took me to Patient First last night because we knew I had a problem.

I'm also having an allergic reaction as well, so I'm doing two different drops. The discharge from my eye is brownish yellow. My actual EYE is swollen too, not just the lid, but the eye. It's pretty strange looking to open the lid and see the colored part all round and colorful and then the "white" part is all red and swollen. It kinds of looks like it's boiling. When I woke up this morning it was swollen completely shut and cemented together. It's seriously sooooo gross. I'm being very careful about not touching my eye. And I think I've washed my hands a million times since it first started. I so do not want Griffin to get this.

I know I'm not the first person to ever have pink eye ... but this is a first for me.

I actually had to take Griffin to the doctor this morning because he had a fever most of yesterday, wouldn't eat and throwing up last night. We thought it might be strep. It's a virus and of course they can give him nothing for it. I feel so bad for my baby when he's sick.

When the doctor came in to see Griffin she asked what was going on with me. I opened my swollen lid to show her my eye. She said it's the worst looking case of pink eye she's ever seen. Not a positive thing to hear. But, I've been taking my drops exactly when I'm supposed to and I'm hoping this goes away very quickly.

It is spring break after all. Griffin is ready to do some fun things. I told him as soon as he's feeling better and Mommy's eye is better we will definitely do something fun.
