Maksupdate April 29th 2006

As you may recall a few weeks back, Makayla, was really quite sick and while I'm happy to report she is much better she now has come down with conjunctivitus. Her eye's have been looking puffy and red so we've had to regularly put eye drops and another type of ointment to try and better her condition.
She has high spirits but still very tired so we allow her to rest to allow her body time to heal itself so she can be back to her full health and running around chasing her cousin and fighting over toys.
Over the weekend I put her down for a nap and noticed after a while that it had almost completely covered her eye so softly picked her up still sleeping so I could wipe her eyes clean and put her back to bed which was the easy part. However it was from that moment I knew that I'd have to stay with her closely to ensure I could clean her eyes throughout the night as at times it looked as though she might not beable to open her eyes at all. That afternoon we went through half a box of tissues before I moved to a wet face cloth which was much better and saved about 4 tissues left in the box for wiping up her breakfast the next day.
Donne took the day off work to keep a watchful eye on her and her eye's progression to which she noted that they were a little better today. I heard someone say somewhere that if propertly treated that conjuctivitus can only last around 2 days so here's hoping for a quick recovery.
Get well soon Miekie, Love Dad
