Pink-eyes and state tests

I am done with my administration of the 2008-2009 TAKS testing for the 6th grade. YEAH!!! Yesterday we did Math and today we did Reading. My kids were done right before lunch, so this afternoon we watched Narnia. We had to stay quiet for other rooms still had students testing. Tomorrow the school is still 'shut down' but we don't have to test. Which is great! I just might have to stay at home with Caitlyn. She has pink-eye. And the bacterial kind, so Malcolm had to take her to the doctor yesterday in order to get antibiotic drops. We knew what we had to get, but had to pay $74 in order for a doctor to tell us and write a prescription. This started Monday afternoon -- she told me on the way home from school that her eye hurt. At supper, though, we saw that it looked really pink and was starting to gunk. I looked online at some stuff, and figured she had pink eye. By the time we put her to bed it wasn't looking too good. When she got up yesterday morning, it was very puffy and had very nasty gunk in it. She stayed home yesterday and Daddy took her to the doctor (having to wait an hour and a half...). Her eye began to look a lot better throughout the day, but we knew she probably needed an antibiotic. He wanted us to keep her from school today, but we figured she'd be able to go. Yet, this morning it had spread to the other eye which was much darker pink but not as much gunk. Here was my dilemma -- Malcolm flew out this morning for San Antonio. I knew she couldn't go to school, but I couldn't stay home -- I had to administer this test. So I called on our great friend, Kate, who was going to be taking Andrew to Mother's Day Out and picking him up. She agreed to take on Caitlyn and her eyes. I love good friends!!! :) She took her own toys to play with, with instructions that she is not to touch anything at their house. I'm hoping and praying her eyes are better in the morning. I'm not sure I can get the day off. I have to go home and disinfect everything.
I'm ready for that to be over as well, and hope that no one else in the house gets it.
