I'm not sure what it is.... Posted: 01-31-08 22:33pm
I noticed this afternoon that my son had
some 'gunk' in the corner of his eye,I'm
not sure what everybody calls it but it's
that gross stuff in the corners of your
eyes when you wake up.
Anyways,I noticed he had quite a bit of it
so I grabbed a q-tip and cleaned it out
for him,but it won't go away,it just keeps
piling up in his eye and now his eye is
all red.
I was looking online for information on
pink eye but according to some of the
diagrams in order for it to be pink eye
his eyeball has to be red or pinkish,but
it's his eyelid that is a bit red,which is
probably from rubbing.
I booked an appointment at the doctor for
him tomorrow,so glad I GOT an
appointment,it's always booked up for at
least a month.So I'm hoping his doctor
will be able to tell me more.
I hate when he's sick,it always makes me
feel bad.It makes me feel like if I had
just wiped the door handle one more
time,or disinfected something just one
more time he wouldn't have gotten sick.I
know that kids get sick and that it's
normal but I just hate to see it.I feel so
guilty!
Thanks for listening,I had to get that off
my chest.

I live in a town were there are only 2
main pediatricians.There is one that is
fairly new but she just had a baby so
getting an appointment with her is really
hard to manage.
The town I live in people are constantly
taking their children to the doctor for a
sniffle,I am not a big fan of doctors so I
tend to stay away.I had a bad experience
with a needle happy doctor when I was 6
years old,I had a lump on my arm that
needed to be cut open and I've stayed as
far away from doctors as I can since.
Anyways,I really hope it isn't pink
eye.I've been doing some reading and it
says that pink eye is treated by eye drops
which will be a pain in the butt to
administer!
