And still they come

Rob and Linnea both have oozy eyes. In addition, Rob's eyes are bloodshot, and feel gritty and sore. They are filming over periodically and making it hard to see.

Chances are they both have conjunctivitis. Rob was going to take Linnea to clinic to ask about her gooey eyes yesterday but events overtook him, so we're going to give her my GP appointment tomorrow instead. He only developed symptoms today as far as we know.

Today I managed to get up and stand long enough to have a shower. I feel much better for it.

A squirt of breastmilk in her eyes could work wonders (always has for us, and for others I know IRL, not just 'one of those things you read on the internet'). It might also work for him if he's up for it. :)

Might be worth a try next time Jack gets it, twice so far and getting the drops in isn't fun for any of us.

You don't know me but...

Absolutely, positively seconded! (foremilk, for preference, I fould)

That's a classic description of conjunctivitis. It's terrifically contagious, you and Rob should both be washing hands a lot.

Eyewash, handwash, clean pillowcases... ugh. But we're doing it. Rob's got it pretty bad. I seem to be clear so far.

Clean towels and flannels...

Our biggest problem when J gets conjunctivitis is stopping him sticking his hands in his eyes and then ours!
