KAIRO'S EYE INFECTION 

Kairo

I wanted to share my not so fun experience that i had this pass weekend. My son was up two nights in a row. So it all started Friday night, at around 11pm or so, kairo was up crying and i could just tell it was more than just him wanting his bottle. He was really upset.
So we tried to give him his bottle but he refused to take it. Eventually we turned on all the lights and then we saw what the problem was. His eyes were completely closed!
They were stuck by a yellow goo.
We put warm water on his face cloth and just wiped his eye till they opened. I think he was traumatized that he couldn't get his eyes open.

 Then i remembered my husband and i noticed he was getting like a yellow sticky goo in the corner of his eyes before he went to bed. Every time we wiped it 10 minutes later it would come back.
I didn't think too much of it and then the following morning it kept happening.
So i googled it to see if it was serious, and they gave me two options he either had an eye infection or pink eyes!.
So i got dressed and off we went to see the doctor.

 Kairo is generally very friendly he goes to anyone who wants to take him. So he weren't in a bad mood or in any pain, he was himself.
We met with a very friendly doctor, who asked about his symptoms which just was the sticky eyes. He gave Kairo a check up and told me, that his throat was inflamed and he had an eye infection. He said that he has been seeing a lot of this, so i asked if other kids have been coming with the same thing. He said yes, i didn't ask if its contagious or how he came to have it.

 I think going to the doctor was the easy part. The treatment is the hardest part. The Doctor prescribed a small tube with ointment which we have to apply in his eyes! 3 times a day for five days.
It is the worst thing ever. It is a two man job, my son is traumatized every time we have to do it.
I hate it, but i want him to get better. Then there's a antibiotic which he has to complete which is just a liquid and it tastes good so he don't mind taking it.

 On top of all that i think he had a wind that was worrying him, i might be wrong but it was like he was colic again. He was trying to swallow and every time he tried he would just cry. He struggled to drink his bottle. The two nights were the same.
Then on Sunday i was taking him out his car seat and he was sleeping, he gave the biggest burp straight out his sleep. Even he got a shock. I think after that he was fine, he slept peacefully. 
I don't even know if he could have a wind that long, 2 days?

 Anyway it was a sleepless weekend, at least we got a good nights sleep on Sunday.

 Hopefully by sharing my experience it will be helpful to other moms going through the same thing.

 I wonder what i can expect next from my soon to be 1 year old!

PREGNANCY MY FIRST VISIT WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR FIRST GYNECOLOGIST VISIT MY FIRST SCAN  (i was about 3 months and 1 week) On my first visit i went to Parklands Hospital and meet with Dr. Keerath, i was very impressed with the way the visit went. Everyone was very friendly and very helpful. It was the most exciting time of my life and he made mine and my husbands experience a pleasant one. So the first thing i had to do before i saw the gynae, the nurse gave me forms to fill out and then she she took my weight and made me do a urine test. When i saw the gynecologist, he had my file and he asked me questions about my medical history as well as my families medical history. Once he had gone through the paper work he asked me to go into a separate room and lay down. He checked my blood pressure, breasts for any abnormalities and my belly and he did a pap smear. I you unsure of anything feel free to ask your  gynae any questions yo...

BABY SWOLLEN EYE!  05/06/2019 MORNING These things we cant prevent or predict they just happen. So i woke up to my baby with his one eye swollen. I checked his eye and it seem ok besides the swelling, he wasn't in any pain. He was still himself. The previous day i remembered he was extremely grabby, he had some redness around the bottom of his eye but it didn't look  an ything like in the photo. My mother in-law told me that when he woke up from his nap he had a bit of white goo in the corner of his eye. I immediately thought of his eye infection.  kairos-eye-infection My mother in-law took him to the doctor and they said he has a cyst. They said we must just put warm salt water by his eye to draw out the cyst and they gave us a cream a well.
