On Sunday morning Hannah woke up with a goopy mess in her left eye. We figured she got Henry's pink eye. The Dr. called in some ointment and we applied it Sunday night. The nurse said to watch out for her being restless at night, because the eye mess is a sign of an ear infection.
Sure enough she did not sleep well at all Sunday. Poor girl. She would only sleep if I was bouncing her, which is totally unlike her. I knew she wasn't doing well.
Monday we took her in. Sure enough, infection in her left ear. We started her on antibiotics and she slept much better last night. Thank you Henry for sharing your germs. I guess I just have to assume going forward once one kids gets sick with something the other kid will get it. They aren't very good at keeping their germs to themselves. Henry is fascinated with faces and pointing out every ones nose, ears, eyes, and of course mouth. This consists of him sticking his fingers on each part too. So his finger is always in someones mouth - usually mine or Hannah's.
They say ear infections aren't contagious - it is the cold virus that is. So what are the chances that both my kids get ear infections at the same time?? It hasn't been a fun past week, but we are hoping they are on the mends - especially with Thanksgiving right around the corner!!
