Wednesday morning, I called the Nurses hotline to see if Peyton's eye was something to come in for and they said that we should, so I made an apt for Noon.
So I was off on our first outing as just Mommy and Peyton.
We were not able to get and apt with Dr. Dessa, so we saw Dr. Hana (wasn't my fave Dr, I liked Dr. Dessa a lot better)
One good thing is that she's already back at her birth weight.. she weighed 8lbs 6.5ozs, 4 ozs more then when we were in on Friday.
The Dr. was surprised at how strong Peyton was, and for her eye she said that Peyton has a blocked tear duct, she said it's nothing to worry about at this point, that it is something very common in newborn babies, she showed me some ways to massage the tear duck and also gave us some antibiotic drops to put in her eyes to help the eye from getting infected during the flu season. We are to give her the drops every 4 hours (or when she is awake) for one week. It was a relieve that she had not caught anything and that it was something that was a normal development issue instead of her being sick. So it was worth making the trip in to the Dr only 4 days after we had been there the first time!
