Pink Is A Beautiful Colour

Said Clara. Yes, honey, but not so much in eyes. Yep, poor Clara woke up all green and crusty in one eye on Wednesday morning, and bright red when she opened her eye. We've never had pink eye here, but I was pretty sure that this was it. So, off to the doctor we went, and sure enough . . . diagnosis confirmed. We got the drops and bathed her eye (while being entertained by Corwin's non-stop chatter), and then she really bathed her eye with tears, because she didn't want to miss school. Poor Clara.

She was doing much better, and probably would have gone to school yesterday. Except for the vomiting in the middle of the night. Oh, the best part - she didn't "make it". She was so upset, although it wasn't a big deal (and thankfully wasn't too bad), but I was doing laundry at 1:30 in the morning (the bonus - our laundry is right outside Clara's room, so it was a short trip). Anyway, she'd recovered considerably by late afternoon, and she will be back at school today.

Time for more eyedrops. And I've still got to post about Corwin's big Camporee experience. The bottom line - he loved it!!!
