We had a very crazy week last week with Amelia's eye issue. I took her back on Monday and the doc. prescribed another antibiotic to take on top of the eye drops. Well, it made her sick and I had the worst night of my life. She would scream unless I was standing up and bouncing her. This was after she had already thrown up all over me. I would get her to sleep and try and sit down and she would wake up. It was awful. Finally at about four in the morning I was able to sit in the recliner but not recline and she would stay asleep. So for about an hour I slept holding her and sitting upright. Eric took her after that and of course she slept fine in her swing for him. So anyway we got the med stuff taken care of and got a different antibiotic for her. I took her back on Thurs. and it still wasn't better so he decided he would call a Pediatric opthalmologist and let me know. So, Fri. night I got a call and he said to massage her eye really good and as hard as reasonably possible. If it still wasn't better by Mon. to see the specialist. Well, of course it's not better. I called and made an appt. but the earliest I can get in is next week. I just wish I knew what it was. Other people I've talked to with blocked ducts, it caused their eye to be watery and teary. Hers doesn't do that at all and it looks like she has a black eye. She has this purple lump thing under her eye. Melisa, I know you said your kids had blocked ducts. Does this sound the same? The doc. said if it gets worse that we'll have to take her to the hospital to get an i.v. antibiotic and I really don't want to do that. Her eye is getting worse but she isn't getting a fever or any other sign that it is an infection that is spreading. I'm trying to not worry, but all those mom thoughts and fears go through your head. I'm sure it will all work out. Please pray with us though.
Thanks

Britt~no that doesn't sound the same. They both had boogery watery eyes and would wake up with it stuck shut.
I am so sorry, that she isn't geting better but I will pray. They said that if Baileys didn't get better they were going to have to do surgery to unblock it. I will pray. One thing that worked with them is get a warm wash cloth and when ever you think about it massage the inner eye nasal area. Thats what I did and it worked. But hers sounds completely different. I really hope you get some answers soon. Especially so you can get back to sleep.
So sorry amelia is having problems with her eye :( I have no advice, but I will pray.
