Last Ditch Effort!

I think Chase knew that I had planned a trip out of town with Austin and tried to make a last ditch effort to get me to stay.  When Chase woke up Monday morning, one of his eyes was a little pink.  This could have been one of two things......allergies or pink eye.  I took the safe route, gave him some eye drops and sent him on to daycare before we headed out to San Antonio.  Half way down there, the daycare called me, telling me they were pretty sure he had pink eye.  Jordan ran the eye drops up there for them to give him.  But a few hours later, they called back, saying he had been crying for nearly two hours straight, which is not like him at all and they knew that.  And by this time, his eye was all goopy and much worse.  Jordan ran him up to the pediatrician's office right before they closed.  Diagnosis: pink eye and an ear infection.  Yikes!  Here I am, pulling into San Antonio, while my sweet Chase was at home sick.  I felt terrible, to say the least!  But there was nothing I could do five hours away, and I had to just let Jordan take control of the situation and know that Chase was in good hands.  Unfortunately, Chase couldn't go back to school on Tuesday, and Jordan wasn't able to stay home with him since he just started his new job. Thankfully, PawPaw stepped in to save the day and take care of him while Jordan went to work. 

He's made a speedy recovery and was more than excited to see when I showed up at daycare this afternoon to get him!  I missed him so much! I don't know what I was thinking, leaving him for four days. :(
