Pink Eye

Our little girl has been infected with pink eye, most likely from daycare as there has been quite an outbreak there. On Tues, Jeff got a call from the daycare saying they suspected Isabella might have pink eye. He was able to get her into the doctor and they confirmed it and put her on antibiotic drops. Since Grandma Groves is in Iowa for the summer, she was able to come up on Wed and take care of Izzie so Jeff and Robin didn't have to take any time off work. Thanks Grandma!! They had lots of fun and Isabella was very good all day long. Since she had been on antibiotics for 24 hrs and it was only in the one eye, we thought we were in the clear, so Grandma went back home. Thurs morning we woke up and it had spread to the other eye! Poor thing. So Robin ended up taking a sick day so she could stay home with her. We've been very careful to keep washing our hands so we don't get it, but only time will tell....

During the day, Isabella seems to be in good spirits, despite the pink eye. What seems to be bothering her is the horrible diaper rash she has also developed, so we've been letting her have some diaper free time by spreading some towels on the kitchen floor for her to play on. It is a very odd feeling to have your infant not wearing any diapers....
