I think Jason has my cold now. However, instead of being congested, he has eye boogers. Seriously. Itchy, watery eyes. He also says he has a scratchy throat. We have an appointment for him today with a different doctor (not related to this), so now I’m trying to work in to see his pediatrician around the other appointment while keeping him from missing as little school as possible.
Although now that I say that, I guess if he’s sick he shouldn’t be up there giving the cootie-love to all the other kids, should he?
I hope he doesn’t get the full blown crud though – I’m soooooo tired of this. It’s funny, I feel more motivated to do things then I have in weeks, and yet I just feel weary and drained, and doing things takes a lot of effort. On top of it all, I just want someone to poke my sinuses with a pin and make them pop or something – the pressure! Ugh. Then there is the drainage cough – I sound like I am going to bring up a lung when that starts. Fortunately, it’s rare – but it still hurts.
I really seriously hope he doesn’t have the same thing. How wrong is it for me to secretly hope he has pink-eye? (But they are not red at all.) Hmmm…

Pink eye is defintely “pink” so it is probably just some other infection. He sounded congested the other day so I imagine he does have some kind of virus. My throat was very sore today so I am sure I caught what he was getting last weekend. Taking my vitamin C and drinking tons of water.
I had a viral infection in my eye back in the Spring. My eye looked like a blood vessel popped and was itchy. Having been through pink eye many times, I thought that’s what it was, but it wasn’t.
I hope he gets better soon!
what color were his eye boogers? and how many did he have? and if he is still sick, is he discharging anything?
why aren’t you answering Jackie? huh? WHY?!? i need that answer! i know where you live! (i’m not joking!)
