This past week has been a particularly interesting week for our family. Not only did my dad and his fiancee come up to visit this past week, our house has also been host to some rather unwelcome guests--of the virus variety. Yes, this past week, my two adorable children and I have had to endure pink-eye (not to mention fevers for both of my kids). How many days have we been sick with just the pink-eye, you might ask? Well, its been 6 days now and COUNTING! Yep, it's been almost a week and it has not been getting any better. So, after two pediatric visits and one eye doctor visit for me, its been determined that we all probably have a strain of 'hemophilus influenza' or basically, the flu for our eyes. The doctor seems to think that I probably got coughed on by some sick child (most likely in the face) and from that I got this wonderful eye condition. As a Mother's Day Out toddler teacher it does seem like a likely scenario. Nice, huh? So, with no particular end in sight, and another prescription of eye drops--we'll see...
Has anyone out there had to deal with stuff like this for this long?!

'The apples of my eye'
Here's a peak inside my wonderful, busy but rewarding life with children. This blog is to allow my family and friends from near and far away to keep up with me and the family I have been blessed with. "Behold, children are a gift of the Lord..." Psalms 127:3
About Me

- I am a wife, mother, and a runner. God has blessed me with a wonderful husband and two precious children whom I adore. I'm currently training for a marathon in January (my first!), so I am definitely treading on new territory, but loving every minute of it. I am truly blessed!

Pearls of Wisdom from the mouth of Ashlyn
- "I don't want worms in my cocoa!", what Ashlyn said after I told her I'd make her some 'warm' cocoa.
- "I can't be quiet. I'm too loud."
- "I like talking, I don't like to close my mouth."
- After being told that she couldn't have a cookie until they were done 'baking' in the oven, "I don't want a 'bacon' cookie, I want one with chocolate chips."
- "My belly button is tired."
- "Counting stars is my favorite job."
- "It's too spicy. It makes my eye close." what Ashlyn said after eating a 'sour' sweet tart.
'Layton' talk
- "I can do anything I want!" (Yeah, right! :)
- "Hey--Did'ya see that?!"
- "I'm Superman!"
- "Bless me" (what Layton said after he sneezed)
- "I'll be right back!"
- "I know"
- When Layton does something he's proud of, he says "Ta-da!"

Yikes! I'm glad you ahve a diagnosis and some good drops. Hope this round is over SOON! Poor things!!
OMG, Maria! That sounds painful!! I'm so sorry. I hope the new eye drops work.
Oh my! I have NEVER heard of that! Another reason to shy away from coughing toddlers!
Yuck, yuck ,yuck!!! Bless your heart. We'll be praying for clear eyes for all 3 of you!
I hope that you all get better soon. That does not sound fun. I am just catching up on your last few posts. I completely understand your feelings about your dad getting remarried. That has to be hard, but at the same time you want him to be happy. I agree with the other posters that you are handling it very maturely.
oh pizza head...no fun! I hope you guys are feeling better by now and your eyes are back to normal! Not a fun way to start the summer off. We've had regular pink eye, but not the "flu" in our eyes!
