Happy Mothers Day (a belated post)

Some of you I'm sure are wondering where I have been and why I haven't posted anything especially on Morhers Day. Well I was too exhausted to get around to it as it's been a rough few days. Diego started to get a really goopy crusty eye which got worse and worse. Saturday night he barely ate for 12 hours and I was so worried about him. He did a bit better Sunday but with the eye crust, fussiness and swelling/redness we were worried. The after hours pediatrician line had us bring him in to Children's ER last night. They were great at getting us in and out as fast as possible considering how little he is and how many sick kids are in the ER. They sent us home saying it was likely just a blocked tear duct and to do warm compresses and follow up with the pediatrician today. He was already scheduled for his circumcision today so we just went in for that to see the dr. We were lucky to have been randomly scheduled with the director of pediatrics and a doctor I have worked with personally through work for years. He is not sure if the tear duct is blocked but thinks its possible it is not. BUT he Definately has an eye infection that has to be treated. Treatment is antibiotic ointment and breast milk in the eye several times a day for 5 days. By the time we got in he couldn't even open his eye and there was so much gunk coming out. I felt so bad for him. And to add to the torture he still had his circumcision today. Yikes! Rough day for Diego and me. Hopefully he is feeling better by tomorrow.

However on the upside of my time, we still had a great Mother's Day. I am blessed with two perfect kids, the most amazing mom, and an awesome mother in law who all spent the morning with me. We had brunch and enjoyed each other's company. I was very tired but still enjoyed my morning. No mom wants to be in the ER in Mother's Day but I am just thankful that my kids are ok. Mother's Day is about being a mom and hopefully I succeeded in doing the best I could for my kids for the day.

I'm hoping to sleep like a rock tonight, so I hope Diego is feeling ok.
