Bitsy Contracts Conjunctivitis

Because it would be weird to make it through a full week at daycare without incident, Jordan (a.k.a. 'Bitsy') decided to give herself Pink Eye last Friday. We woke her up like any other day, and since she had been fighting off a head cold, didn't think anything of the dried snot-like crust that had formed over her right eye. She always has dried snot crusted all over her face in the mornings, so I thought nothing of the fact that it happened to be crusted to her eye. I wiped the eye boogers away with a wet wipe and shipped her off to daycare. By noon that day I received "the call" that I've been accustomed to getting at the end of nearly every week. "Hi Jamie? This is Crystal from the Children's Center. Jordan has [insert ailment here] and needs to go home. Can you please come and pick her up as soon as possible?" This week it was Pink Eye. Okay, so it hasn't been every week, but it seems like a regular pattern of total immune meltdown toward the end of the week. Two weeks ago she ended up puking at daycare on a Thursday afternoon. Josh has commented that it feels like he is home with her at daddy daycare almost every Friday and Monday. We are lucky he is able to do a lot of his work at home! By now, the antibiotic eye drops have worked their magic and Bitsy's eyes (yes, as in both eyes ended up becoming infected) are looking a lot better. And since she has now been quarantined for the minimum 24 hours since the start of antibiotic treatment, Bitsy will be allowed to return to daycare tomorrow. We surmise that by the time she reaches kindergarten, Jordan will have been sensitized to all possible viruses and bacteria and will therefore be good to go. That's the hope anyway.
