Another Eye Infection

So Miss Kyleigh awoke this morning with a very swollen eyelid. Her right eye from the lashes to above her brow was swollen the size of a penny. It almost looked like a knot forming but it was soft. We immediately called Dr. Freedman at Duke Eye Center. Thankfully we have her direct cell number for emergencies. She explained that it could be one of two things- the beginning of a stye or an infection. So we made an appointment with the pediatrician. Dennis took her to the appointment while I headed towards Raleigh for my friend Heather's baby shower. The pediatrician confirmed it was an infection and called Dr. Freedman to develop the plan for addressing the infection. She will be on an eye drop 3 x's a day for 10 days and Augmentum (antibiotic) for 10 days. Plus we go in tomorrow at 9am for a repeat check up. I am beginning to think Kyleigh is going to spend all of her days at the doctor's office.

On another note, the baby shower for little Harrison was great. It was so nice to see Heather, Kelly, Mama Harris, Mrs. Henderson and Jessica. Heather looks great for 34 weeks pregnant and she is anxiously anticipating the arriving of baby boy #2 next month. I'm sure he will be a cutie just like his big brother Craig.
