A melt-down sort of day

Poor Brookie had a rough day today. She's been struggling with her allergies the past several days and just didn't feel up to par today. She was extra-clingy and just wanted to lay around. She had a headache most of the day and even felt a little warm so I gave her tylenol. She developed more of her "mystery bumps" two days ago and there are a clump of about 8-9 on the back of her leg. She's had these off and on since the salmonella, so I think they are infection coming out of the body. But that's just a guess. They are sore to the touch, which is unlink the ones she's had in the past. We're keeping Bactroban cream on them, but it doesn't seem to be doing much. If they're not better by Monday...she's going to the doctor. And as if this weren't enough...she got something in her eye earlier. We have no idea what she did but it took over an hour for her to be able to open the eye. We're wondering if she got hand sanitizer in it. And since she doesn't know not to rub it, and to open the eye so the tears can flush it...it was bad. She insisted we take her to McDonald's, so we did. Part way through her meal (one eye open, other eye covered by left hand)...she finally broke down. It's hard eating with one eye and one hand! The tears started coming and she had a total meltdown. You can always predict it's coming but there's usually nothing you can do to stop it. So she cried - right there in McDonalds. I took her to the bathroom to try and flush out the eye (for the second time) and to calm her nerves. It took me about 5 minutes of "coaching her" before we could return to the table to eat. It was tragic for her. Her nerves were raw today. So now she's sitting in the living room with dad and Brandi wondering when mom is going to get off the computer and put her to bed.

My baby needs some TLC...night all!
