Today our poor little man was diagnosed with conjunctivitis. It wasn't that hard to work out what was ailing him - the swollen, crust infected, bloodshot eyes were a bit of a give away...
Part of the treatment is the administration of antibiotic eye drops three times a day. Despite an expert demonstration by our family doctor, I am really crap at doing this...
I'm proficient at taking the lid off the bottle, positioning the suffering babe in my arms and taking aim with the drops - but that's about it...
What happens next is a screaming, squirmy baby who gets ointment all over his face and body. It also ends up on me, the floor and whatever we're sitting on. Our dog Kemba thinks its great and has taken a liking to the flavour of the medicine. That's fine with me as I don't have to clean it up although I am suspicious that she's getting high on it...
