Savannah's 1st Illness

Yes, she's had a few colds but nothing serious.  In fact, teething has been the worst thing she's had to go through until now.  We arrived home from our beach vacation on Monday and the next day Savannah started oozing yellowish-green gunk out of her eyes.  It continued to get more and more frequent as the day progressed but she never once complained.  I decided that night that I was taking her to the doctor in the morning for a possible eye infection.  On Wednesday morning, she woke up with her eyes stuck together because of all the icky dried gunk (excuse my technical terms).  So we went to the pediatrition which led to several meltdowns and finally a diagnosis of an ear infection.  I'm still a little confused on how an ear infection presents itself as an eye infection but the doctor says the eyes, nose, and ears are all connected so it's definitely possible.  Apparently she's had this infection for several days so it's amazing that she has never pulled on her ears and she hasn't had a fever or any other cold-like symptoms.  It's also amazing that she didn't freak out more on the flight home considering the altitude and the pressure on her ears.  She's now 2 days into her medicine and totally back to normal.  And even at the worst, she was still the cutest little patient ever :)
