Pink eye

Collin somehow managed to pick up pink eye last week and give it to his brother. We have been quarantined for the last week waiting for their eyes to clear up and I am once again reminded why I love preschool so much!

We went to the doctor to get a prescription for antibiotics, as it turns out, Collin is allergic to the most common eye drops (Peter is not) and was prescribed an ointment. I really thought that the ointment was going to be a huge pain to administer but quite surprisingly it has been much better than the drops. First it only needs to be used twice a day rather than every three hours for the drops. Second, it is nice and thick so that when you put it on the inside of the lid it actually stays there. The drops run right out especially when the child is not happy about the drops being put in his eyes. If you have the option get the ointment for your kid.
