Getting Better

We had a visit with our doc yesterday and nothing much came of it.  Nicole was not very cooperative (surprise surpise) so Dr. T. couldn't even get close enough to see if the bandage contact was in place.  We took her out and walked her for a LONG time to get her to fall asleep and went back to the clinic as per the doc.  Of course by the time Dr. T. came to see her she was awake again...ugh.  Long day for nothing. 
On the bright side, Nicole hasn't required any painkillers today.  We never did get a script for Gravol.  The family doctor said no for under one year olds.  He asked me what Nicole had done...corneal scraping I said...ohhhh that's painful.  Yup.  Nevertheless, she is doing much better today.  Unfortunately, it seems her reflux is acting up and it's hard to tell if it's a sore throat from her breathing tube, all the screaming, or heartburn.  I hope this clears in a couple of days.  Mike and I both have callouses on our hands from swinging her in that carseat.  It was the only thing that kept her quiet.  Tomorrow morning we are going back to see Dr. T. and have the bandage contact removed.  What the heck is a bandage contact anyways??  Apparently a large lens to cover the cornea.  This should be fun. 

Here's a pic of my poor pumpkin today...oh and Lilia enjoying Skittles...which of course she had to be reminded of not to share with Nicole =)
