Puffy Eye

What started out as an already interesting day for me at work became even more interesting when Holly called to let me know Dano was having some issues. Her eye was blood shot, her face around her eye was red and puffy with splotchy skin, and she was very lethargic and inconsolable. I even heard her in the background screaming. I called the doctor to ask what I should do, if this was something common, etc. Within the hour that it took me to call the doctor and to have the doctor call me back Holly had called twice to first let me know that she did eat and that calmed her a bit and then again to say that the oddest thing had happened and her eye and splotchy skin cleared up. When I picked her up that evening you could tell she had a bit of red puffy eyeness (yes, I made eyeness up). I had already made the appointment for Dani the following morning and I was glad. Through the night, while her eye never got worse, it never got better. When she woke in the morning, you would have never known anything was wrong (ahem, Mr. Murphy and his laws). Regardless I took Dani to the doctor and the doctor said "no more monkeys jumping..." oops, wrong story. The doctor really said that she thought perhaps Dano got something on her hand and then wiped her eye thus getting something on her skin and in her eye. Her eye watered profusely and so it cleared up quickly but the rest did not. Doc did an eye-dye exam to look for scratches, all was clear.

On another note, Dani weighed 11 pounds 1 ounce (with clothes on) and is starting to grow out of her 3 month clothes. (yea yea, she's 5 months in 3 month clothes, no need to point that out).

Phew...what drama!
