This isn't exactly what I had in mind for Paige's Halloween costume! After her nap this afernoon, she was just so incredibly fussy. Then I noticed her eye was getting red, and tearing up even if she wasn't crying. By the time Josh came home from work at 3, it was starting to get swollen too. I quickly brought her into the walk-in, and the doctor swabbed her eye (!) and then put drops in to see if there was a scratch. Sure enough, right across her pupil and iris. So now I have to give her eyedrops (sooooo easy to do on a baby), and she is supposed to wear an eyepatch to keep her from blinking and irritating it further. She's really thrown off by it, and honestly just sad. After we left the clinic she just rested her head on my shoulder and didn't move - and anyone who knows her knows that is not like her at all. Hopefully after a few days it'll be good as new, but we do have to go to the optomestrist for a 2nd look on Monday.
