After two weeks of nonstop coughing, both Melanie and I went to the doctor on Friday (11/20). She got released with a clean bill of health, but a "backup" antibiotic prescription to get filled on Monday if she wasn't feeling better. I got diagnosed with a bronchial infection and a prescription for a Z-Pack. Additionally, I'm taking Claritin for some of the effects of my congestion. Fun times.

Sunday morning, Melanie woke up with eye goop galore. Throughout the day, that was combining with her cough & other congestion, and she just seemed to be getting worse. So we went ahead and started the antibiotic Sunday evening, and then overnight she was a sleeping nightmare. At 7am, when it was technically time to get up, I finally felt her eyes, and they seemed to be sealed shut. I left her sleeping, got ready for work, and left Daddy home with her, assuming she had pinkeye. Later in the morning, I received these before & after bathtime photos showing the state of her eyes. The doc called in the prescription for drops today, so she should be on the mend relatively quickly once those start.

This Thanksgiving we are thankful for our health, what we have of it - We realize we could have it much worse, and I will take coughing & goopy eyes any day!
