Who Knew?


So Sawyer developed some gnarly goopy eyes Christmas night. The following morning he slept until well past 11 am - probably because he couldn't open his eyes - they were sealed shut. A warm wash cloth solved the problem, but only temporarily. Giant strings of goop hung from his poor eyelids and globbed in the corners of his eyes, crusting over if they weren't cleaned off immediately. A quick online search convinced me that he had conjunctivitous. We headed to the doctor this morning - turns out that goopy eyes are a sign of an ear infection. Who knew? He has a miidle ear infection in his left ear. We're looking at a 10-day course of antibiotics. Hopefully he won't get thrush!
