Pink Eye

This is how we started our New Year. Poor little Miss Miriam got a horrible infection in both her eyes. Theo took her to the emergency room where they diagnosed her with a severe case of Pink Eye. They gave us the usual eye drops and within a few days the swelling and nasty eye goop was gone. I swear, I have changed some nasty diapers, wiped up vomit and diarrhea. But when I would wipe her eyes and that goop just strung along from her eye to the tissue like hot melted mozzarella cheese on a pizza, I wanted to throw up. She stayed in pretty good spirits though. She even insisted on wearing her princess fairy outfit. She had to wear it to the hospital even. Everyone was admiring her and she was just soaking it up. Theo said she did a few turns and twirls to show off the wings in the back. She is 100% better now, and these swollen eyes are now back to her normal beautiful hazel!
