Hi! Just to warn you, a friend of mine was also diagnosed with "viral" pinkeye (how do they determine this?) and suffered with it for over a week before seeing another dr who said drop should be prescribed if the eyes are that bad (lots of discharge, swollen etc). After a day of drops she was so much better. So, if it doesn't get better I'd get them to give you drops. From our experience here, anytime the eyes are swollen and goopy, drops are needed ASAP!!!!
 

I know, viral is a pain in the ass. What the doc told me was that ALL pink eye is viral and the drops are for a common 2nd bacterial infection that often accompanies the viral one, especially in kids. That's why drops are given to kids right off the bat, as a preventative measure that he says adults *shouldn't* need. (because we're more disciplined about not touching our eyes and washing hands, etc.) I'm supposed to keep an eye (ha!) on it and if the discharge changes into thick pus vs. the watery kind I now have, I'm to start using the drops again. Until then, I just have to let it run it's course. EW!!
 

Those are gorgeous, MP. A friend of my husband's mother made light blue booties and a matching sweater for his blessing. THey turned out to be too little, but I had them professionally done in a shadow box. Anyway, your friend will be so touched!
