Lucy and I are quite the pair. I am enduring my third round of mastitis, thus third round of antibiotics, and darling Lucy got to take her first trip to the ER on Sunday night… on the advice of the on-call pediatrician…
It turns out, the two of us endured bloody people (none more serious than what looked like bicycle crashes), severe hack-up-a-lung-type coughing (I was glad Lucy is current on her immunizations), atrocious vomiting sounds, and quite the angry words from a patient who really wanted someone to clean the gravel out of her leg.
Why did I introduce my sweet 3 month-old to such a cruel world???
So… the nurse practitioner could diagnose a clogged and infected tear duct. Apparently, Lucy didn\’t get slugged by her older brother and/or sister while I wasn\’t looking, after all (OK, I knew that didn\’t happen, but it looked kinda that might have happened!). Kid #3, and this was the first clogged tear duct. Oh, it was a long 3 hour tour… of the ER.
wow, sorry, Jenny that you are having so rough a ride at the beginning of Lucy’s life! We had clogged tear ducts with all of the kids…but ya do learn somethin\’ new with each one! Hope you are able to get some rest and recuperate. Let me know if there\’s something I can do to help. Luv ya all…
