A little eye update...

I know I sound a little "out-there" with my oils and stuff, but I might as well share because they do seem to work!

Last night, Mom reminded me of my essential oils book, and I checked in there for what to do for conjunctivitis. It said to diffuse Purification (an oil blend) at night while sleeping, so I did. This morning, she woke up with some dried goop, but a fairly small amount, and no further weeping/goopiness this morning. The pinkness was reduced, but still there, so we went ahead into the walk-in. He prescribed some drops, but did agree that because she isn't bothered by it and doesn't have any more discharge, she is much less contagious... Still trying to decide about the shower.... Soooo, just passing on what I am learning... Which would be if I was not worried about the contagious factor and could stay home a few more days, I would just use the oils and tackle it that way. But starting tomorrow I work for 3 days straight, plus the shower today, so that changes things- we need to be non-infectious ASAP.

PS- Not sure where it came from, but interesting that I've been rubbing lavendar on Melia's forehead too, in addition to what we've been using for her cold, and she hasn't come down with it... Praying it stays that way!
