Pink Is A Pretty Color...
Pink Is A Pretty Color....
Well it is one of my favorite colors after burgundy and yellow. But its not so pretty when its your eye color. Monday morning was a bit of a crazy morning. Cami wasnt wasnting to go to school. She was cranky and whiny. Moreso than usual. Durning the break, I took her off the Abilify. It seemed to make her worse. She was gaining weight. Constantly complaining that she was hungry and just moody even more. It was turning into a nightmare at school too. She was becoming a mess. Now that shes been off of it for a while, shes been doing a little better. And shes not constantly complaining of wanting food all the time. It was a side effect of the medication.
Her psychiatrist wasnt thrilled with her not being on it. I dont care. She sees her for about 15 minutes. She needs to have her move in with her for a week to get the total effect of it. But then she wants Cami to go see another specialist to get to the bottom of her moods. He anger issues. Well this doctor is about to see my anger issue. I will give the other doctor a chance to see whats up.
I chalk it all up to either lack of sleep or too much sleep. But with the medications, its hard to regulate that. Without the abilify, she doesnt sleep too much and shes cranky in the morning. WIth the Abilify, shes sleeping all night in a deep sleep and doesnt want to wake up in the morning. Therefore, shes even worse. And it was carrying into the day where she was still cranky and tired. At least without the Abilify, she can get through her day as a normal kid.
Also this week, Wednesday was crazy. Cami woke up with a swollen eye. Its the same one she had a problem with over the break. The red spot cleared up to almost gone. But now its all puffy. I chalked it up to allergies and put a cold cloth on it to soothe it. Seemed to help. But at about 11am, her school nurse called me. She said that her eye is looking bad and pussing. Its all red and she might have pink eye. Oh great. Now what do I do?
So I left school and picked her up. We went to the doctor and they said it was a bacterial conjunctivitis. Wonderful. Pink eye is a viral. He did a culture on it and said this was bacterial. He gave me an Rx for some antibiotic drops for it. If its not cleared up by Monday, she needs to come back for something more.
I called in to work today because Cami has a doctor note for Thursday and Friday off. I have no choice. I dont have a sitter available for her. I know Im going to catch shit for this. Nothing more I can do.
I spent the entire day cleaning and washing all her stuff. I was chasing her around with a can of Lysol. Washing hands, spraying surfaces. I cant put her in a bubble. But today, the swelling was down and no puss. Thats a good sign. But now the other eye is all red and bloodshot too. But nothing like it was Wednesday morning. You could watch the puss forming. It was gross.
Shes been fighting me with the drops but she has to take them. I showed her some pictures on line of the worse cases if she doesnt allow this to be treated. She agreed that she didnt want her eye to fall out either. LOL Im hoping it clears up soon and that no one else catches it. I really hate this.
