..and eye infection, ears and throat, that’s how the weekend goes, weekend goes.

If Grace has a day sleep, then we can just about be sure she is sick, and if Eli cries inconsolably, then we know that it’s time for a visit to the doctor. We were fortunate with Grace, she was hardly sick in the first year of her life (and then caught up in the second). Eli has not been so fortunate (but is also exposed to schoolchildren and goes out much more than Grace ever did). He has an ear and throat infection which will hopefully clear quickly.

The eye infection, that belongs to me.

Even though I woke up feeling fine, but by lunch time my one eye was swollen, puffy and full of muck and the other eye was starting to produce muck. Off to the doctor, some strong meds and today things are looking much better. Looking at myself in the mirror this morning was a bit of surprise though. It is strange when you look at yourself and think, “That doesn’t really look like me.” With puffy eyes and swollen eyelids I looked a bit like a beaten up hobo. Thanks to God, even though I looked like that, everything has been clearing nicely.
