Feeling Better

This is Lorelei about 15 minutes ago. We saw her PCM this morning (who I just love, Maj. Clegg is wonderful!) After discussing everything, and finally getting a peek at Lorelei's eyeball we've decided on a course of action. There is a chance that there could be a slight infection. As Lorelei was screaming, a green booger flew out of her nose. Since Maj. Clegg saw green snot (a sign of a sinus infection) she said she was justified in prescribing some anitbiotics. Even though it was just a tiny booger and not snot dripping everywhere she that was good enough for her. So we are starting Lorelei on a course of augmentin. We're hoping though that this is just a bug bite. The doc said this is a common reaction to bites around the eye. And we have some very tiny spiders here that can bite, but you won't be able to see where. The other thing that should help is that we've increased her dosage of benadryl. The ER doc said 1/2 tsp every 6-8 hours. Our doctor thought that sounded low, so she calcuated it based on her weight and she can take a whole teaspoon every 6 hours. Because it's the weekend and the base just has a clinic I've already been authorized an ER visit if her eye gets worse. We'll just have to wait and see and hope that she responds well to the meds.
