last wed coleman arose from his nap, and it looked like he participated in a wrestling match...and lost. his left eye was swollen, he could hardly open it. after contacting a few of my mom friends (who needs the MD) i determined it was likely pink eye. got some ointment, easy fix.
one week later, keller wakes up with gunk all over his eyes. both eyes continue to produce matter(for lack of a better word) in "a becoming shade of green" (quote from our babar book)
for three days. i give him the same ointment, nothing changes. when i try to clean his eyes out, he squeezes them tights and screams "i wanna get outa here!" warms my heart, as you can imagine....so onto the doctor for our weekly winter visit. at this point, poor keller has green ooze from both eyes, red puffy cheeks, and a thick runny nose...poor guy. there is no way i can justify staying on the "well" side....so more eye drops and hopefully clear eyes soon....oh and they both have ear infections....
there is always something going on at this stage in life, and as frustrating or annoying as it can be, i was thinking today how i am thankful that it is just the normal childhood illnesses we are dealing with, nothing more. i deeply admire moms who have really sick kids, apart from the grace of the Lord, i dont know how they do it...

hang in there friend...your patience is a blessing to your babies and your friends...
L,
your boys are merely continuing another unique Barth family tradition, started by you. You would usually "get sick" at the very beginning of a long road trip. Momn became very proficient at pulling you out of the car before you "lost it" in the car- remember the early morning departure from leavenworth at Chrismas?
luv 'ya
dad
