Sometimes I'm a little slow on the uptake. Alex's odd behavior Wednesday, sleeping in yesterday... both red flags saying "HE'S SICK YOU NITWIT!" He woke up yesterday morning with red goopy swollen eyes and a runny nose. So off to the doctor we went with me avoiding his eyeballs like the plague because YUCK! What if it's pinkeye?
At the doctor's office, he charmed the pants off of everyone from the patients in the waiting room to the nursing staff. As miserable and pathetic as he looked with big puffy swollen weepy eyes and a constant booger-fall coming out of his nose, he was smiley and sweet, batting his mile-long eye lashes at everyone and making sure to announce several times that "I have goopy eyeballs. I go to da doctor"
Turns out it's not pinkeye but a raging sinus infection so bad as to make his eyes leak boogers. No wonder he was miserable on Wednesday. So much for my theory that my son and I are so connected that he's feeling my pain. No, poor little guy had his own pain to deal with, and I can't believe I dragged him around a farm for two hours with what must have been a massive headache to say the least. Bring on the mommy guilt. Thankfully he's now on an antibiotic and as of last night, his eyes are already quite a bit less puffy and goobery.
