My Pony is Sick.

September 18th, 2008

Today Hadley woke up with a cough. Since each day she seems to be getting worse, I thought we better go in to the doctor. It turns out she has a sinus infection and pink eye. Just lovely. The doctor talked to me large amounts about how contagious pink eye is, and I gotta say, I am not optimistic. Eric progressively felt worse and worse last night and is all stuffy now. I think the pink eye could be coming my way. Hopefully Zoey can avoid the plague. We also get to give Hadley eye drops. I was amazed at how well she took them today, but it was probably because we bribed her with a treat. I think it stings her a little bit, but hopefully as the infection goes away the stinging will too. The doctor also said that Hadley may be developing seasonal allergies, but there is no way to know until the first freeze.

When we got to the doctor’s room, Hadley put her My Little Pony up on the table. The doctor walked in and Hadley pointed at it saying, “My pony is sick.” I think she was hoping that the doctor would ignore her and check out the pony instead. No such luck.

Hadley’s face looks really bad. (That is an awkward sentence to type.) She is swollen up with goop everywhere and her left eye is almost closed from the swelling. Her eyes and nose are all bright red and her mouth is always hanging open because it is the only way she can breath. Eric and I took some pictures because it is just so sad. Poor girl.

Since Hadley only had about a 20 minute nap, we laid on the couch early to cuddle. She fell asleep at 6:45 and didn’t wake up for the rest of the night.
