Pink eye :(

Sunday we were at church, and Hunter was brought into Sunday School from the nursery leader. She said her forehead was warm and she wasn't feeling well. She also had a runny nose. McKenna has bad allergies right now, so we figured Hunter had allergies as well. Hunter didn't want to stay with us in class and she didn't get why she couldn't go back to nursery. I took her out into the hall and tried to get her calmed down. She started crying so hard, she hyperventilated, started gagging and I ran her to the couple of yards down the hall to the bathroom. She made it into the bathroom and almost to the toilet. I had to clean up a little bit on the tile floor but the most of it was in the toilet. Poor girl :(. So, I got her all cleaned up and went and got Ian from Sunday School. I explained to him that we needed to take her home because she had thrown up. We went to get McKenna from a friend of ours who takes her to their Sunday School class, and then went home. We made a quick stop to CVS down the street to get a thermometer, and found this: forehead strips that take your temperature. She fell asleep on the way home, so we took her inside and got her changed. We decided to take her to Ian's parents for family dinner, but warn them that she wasn't feeling well. That night as we were there, she started getting gunk in her eyes. Not thinking anything of it, we went home after we were done visiting. It got worse as the night went on and was bad the next morning. Her eye was swollen and she continued to get gunk. We took her to the doctor and found out:

She has pink eye. So, I called into work and stayed home with Hunter and McKenna, but not before going to CVS to get the drops. She laid down on the couch most of the day, and only threw up after having lunch. We kept her on bland foods (bread, pancake, crackers, etc), and she slept on the rocking chair that night. Tuesday morning came and she was doing better, so I went in to work to make up some hours. Ian was off, so he was home with the girls. I got off around 1:00, then we went and ran errands. We were at Kohl's and looked at McKenna's eyes and....

She has pink eye. Go figure :(. So, we started her on the drops and kept on our way running errands. We went to the grocery store, then to Ian's parents house to drop the groceries off, then off to the mall to meet them there. We enjoyed some shopping at the mall, then went back to his parents for dinner and came home. McKenna slept all through the night, only waking up once to get a bottle. I called into work again this morning since McKenna is contagious. I am hoping Ian and I don't get this pink eye since we can't miss any more work. We need to be saving up money and getting ready for the summer.

Look for pictures of this Sunday when we celebrate McKenna's birthday with the family.
