Re: Re: RE:off topic/ swollen eye / SALINE - funny -

[Guest guest]

, that is too funny. Aidan has some nasal congestion so everyone

recommended the saline and sucker. I was warned to be nervouse as he would

scream his head off (the pharmicist even told us the same.) So I called in the

troops to hold him down if need be. Don't think he didn't laugh his head off

everytime we stuck some drops in and stuck the bugger sucker up there. He

thought it was the funniest thing!!! :-) My husband and I were sure we weren't

doing it right... How sad is it that because our child wasn't screaming his

head off we were certain we couldn't be doing it right!!!! I guess one kid just

isn't like another. Anyway, your story made me laugh.

My son is really allergic to mosquito bites, and we live in a really

wet area, so he gets them all summer. Anyway, he got one on his

temple this past summer, and it was a little swollen when he went to

bed. When he woke up it had gone all the way across to his eye, and

his eye was swollen shut. Everything almost to the bridge of his

nose was HUGELY swollen. He had to go on 4 different medications,

including eye drops, which would be awful in a 2 yr old, except

on is wacky & would go lay on the floor when it was time for

his eye drops--he actually enjoyed it. I'm either raising a future

doctor or a psycho. Anyway, it's true infections can quickly spread

to the eye, and really scary! We called him our little Quasimodo.
