Week Two

We had a little scare with you. You got some baby acne on your forehead and it must have created an infection in your eye as it became red and swollen and filled with mucus. We took you to the pediatrician and she told us to go to Children’s Hospital. Well, no one could figure out what it was. We had several doctors look at your eye and each one had another doctor come in. The infections disease doctor finally started to make some sense. They admitted us so we had to stay the night. They had to give you an IV and take some blood. That was the hardest thing Mommy and Daddy have gone through in your life…well, up to this point that is! We had to watch you cry as they poked you with needles. We could only hope as you looked up into our eyes crying, that you didn’t think it was us that were hurting you. They finally got us to a room and we just loved on you all night. We were all scared, but we knew you were going to be ok. They gave you three different antibiotics through the night and you were starting to look much better by the next morning. They let us go that next night and in about a week you were all cleared up.
You went to your very first party, one of many I am sure, as you will definitely be initiated into TTK in about 20 years or so. Well, maybe earlier if Aunt Jenny has her way. She is the wild one you need to watch out for. It was her going away party that was your first party. You got to hang out with all of Mommy and Daddy’s friends. They all thought you were so beautiful and couldn’t believe that we actually had a baby. It took us some time, you know. But someday you will appreciate that.
