Seriously!

Seriously how can a 30 year old man can get PINK EYE!! Yes that is right, my husband has pink eye, conjunctivitis, that gross, watery, gooey mess in his eye. How in the world does a 30 year old man get pink eye?? Well maybe because there is a pink eye epidemic happening in our area. Several of the children we are often around have had pink eye recently, so I guess that's how he got it. You know I have always said Ben is a big kid, but who knew he would even get kid sicknesses? So i told Ben you are quarantined to the TV room...do not leave, do not touch anything, do not even look at me...I will feed you underneath the door, but please do not come out! I have a true mercy gift right :).
So we went to the doctor this morning and she gave him this high powered eye antibiotic. That tiny little bottle Ben is holding cost us $62...can you believe it. This stuff better be good. 
Isn't he cute. He can't open his eye any more than that. Good news, he is still in good spirits...he asked the doctor for an eye patch...she didn't really know what to say.

we like to call that stuff "liquid gold"...try putting it into a 3 yr. old's eye- fun times.

Well, if he gets an eyepatch, he can help Kenny Miles guard the boat from pirates. Or, maybe Kenny Miles could watch for Ben, the pirate. In any case, an eyepatch would cover the goey, icky eye mess. Maybe you could get a patch that would cover his whole face...oh, sorry, that's what the beard is for...

So sad. I had no idea it was going around. Good thing we are leaving town. Hope he gets better soon and I hope you steer clear of the goey mess.

Thats sounds like our $230.00 meds for the flu! We all need to look at what we are invested in and change for pharmaceuticals.
