Conjunctivitis aka Pink Eye

Today when I picked up Mia from the sitter's, her eye was all crusty and oozing green mucus. I have seen many cases of pink-eye (and had several myself) and this didn't look like it since her eye wasn't pink at all. Turns out the eye doesn't have to be pink-who knew? I called Mia's pediatrician and it sounds like a case of viral conjunctivitis, which she probably got from rubbing her runny nose and then touching her eye. Basically it will just run its course . Until that happens, Cort is home in the mornings as Mr. Mom since I have to save up my sick days for my maternity leave.
