Zachary's First Ear Infections

Most of this week, Zachary has been sick with the typical preschool cold (runny nose & cough). This is the first time he has been really sick and this is the first winter he has been in school. He has woke up crying during the night almost every night since Sunday. Starting Tuesday, his right eye was red with watery drainage. By Thursday, both eyes were red and he had crusty green drainage. Not once did he complain of feeling bad. He was eating, drinking and playing as usual. So, being a nurse, I was trying to wait it out. Well, today we took him to the doctor. He has ear infections in both ears (that looked pretty bad) and bacterial pinkeye in both eyes. He is now on antibiotics and eye drops twice a day (try giving eye drops to a toddler!). Hopefully, Will will stay healthy and Zachary will be well before Christmas! I have invested in Clorox and Lysol this week!
