Rough Day

Well, I have some kind of conjunctivitis going on in both eye's. I went to the eye doctor yesterday and they seem to think its allergies. That could very well be. So no contacts, only glasses. I hate wearing my glasses. Then the day was ok until after work. I had to run a errand before picking up Ryan and as I was coming down the street to daycare, Ms. Brooke called me. She wanted to know if I was on my way and driving. She said something is wrong with Ryan, he cant open his eye's. She didnt know if it was sunscreen or what. I walked in and freaked out. Ryan's eye's were swollen, red and he couldnt open them. He face was beat red, lips swollen. It was awful. I immediately was on my way to the prompt care at OSF. It was a allergic reaction to something. They gave him a huge dose of benadryl and we went home. I gave him a quick bath and he was asleep. He slept all night and looks much better this morning. He is itching his eye's and nose, sneezing, runny nose, etc..... Calling the pediatrician. I think its allergies. Ive said all along he has allergies, but Im the stupid mother and doctors dont listen to the mom's. Actually my pediatrician does listen to me, its just that kids before age two dont usually have allergies and the medications arent tested on small children. Its an area that needs more research. He is back at school today and I hope he does well. We have the air conditioning on all ready because it helps filter the air. They dont want him outside for three days. Im not doing that unless he has another reaction and we will be in the allergists office very fast. Thats all for now. I hope that we are both well for a very busy weekend.

Take care,
Becky
