Home from the Ophthalmologist

We are home from seeing a pediatric ophthalmologist as I wanted to get to the bottom of this ridiculousness. The summary is that it is very likely we initially had bacterial conjunctivitis, that cleared up, and now we have viral conjunctivitis. In the first case, John got it first, then Mary, then me. Then John got the second round, Mary came down with it a few days later, and this morning I woke up with telltale sharp pain around my orbits, so I think I might be getting it too. The doctor could have done an eye culture, but did not consider it worth it. If this is viral, it can last two weeks (which would mean John has about a week left and Mary almost two weeks left).

Loads of fun!

Now let's just hope our horrible colds end soon.
