Conjunctivitis

Both boys have got a bout of conjunctivitis. Michael caught it first, from Friends daycare we think. He seemed to be over it, then Marcus caught it in one eye, now Michael's is making a comeback. They both dislike the eyedrops, but Marcus is particularly hopeless. There is no reasoning with him. He completely goes to pieces and has to be sat on and restrained. Worse still the eyedrops that we have been giving him haven't been working as they are anti-bacterial, when his infection is viral. Or maybe vice-versa. We have new drops now. Elf is doing the heavy lifting on the conjunctivitis as she always does when the boys are sick. I am thinking of minting her a medal.
