Ok, her eye is always closed shut with crusty stuff and always has eye gunk on her eyeball. Well I clean it out everyday and this morning it was all red and icky. I still cleaned it out.. Well ryans mom is saying to put neosporin on it?! Like literally put it in her eye... For some reason I dont have a good feeling about it and im not gonna do it. But they keep takin ryan out of the room to talk about it and outside to talk, they wont talk infront of me about it...Well im goin to the doc on tuesday so I wanna have her check it out..Is that the better way to go other than neosporin? Ok ryan just got back in from outside..He said that his parents said this: "put your backseat back in the car put her in the carseat and take her to the hospital, and that we cant wait until tuesday because her immune system is to weak and might spread thru her whole face." im gonna go f*ckin nuts over here!!! I cant afford extra trips to the doctor! We didnt get excepted for medicaid....*headache* what would yall do? Wait til tuesday or put neosporin in her eye? Id feel more safe with the doctor tellin me whats wrong then listenin to ryans mom..Shes not a doc..Please help asap before we get yelled at for not takin care of her and bein told she relies on us agian...We feel like bad parents in this house. And to explain the reliein on us and bein told we arent taken care of her...When she was gettin sick really bad ryan left mackenzie's shirt off so we didnt go thru 80 million shirts well ryans mom got pissed and said we werent taken care of her etc. Thats for that part...So I dont wanna be told that again..We already were told that today so if I hear it again im gonna get pissed and say something about it. So please help, thanks yall

Okay, I asked my mom about the neosporin and she said absolutely not. Its really not good for them. You can carefully pu tit under her eye but do not put it in her eye. It may be dangerous since shes so little...

It sounds like a clogged tear duct. Josh had that. Does it look like a ball of snot in her eye that appears every few hours? Especially when she wakes up? Josh had it and all they told me to do was massage that little knob on the inside corner of his eye, and stuff will squirt out and its nasty but it worked. It cleared up in less than 2 weeks. Hopefully that is all it is!!! Good luck and let me know!

Thank you. That is exactly what I was tellin ryan, its to dangerous. His mom came down stairs and said "if I was her parent id take her in but thats just how I am" she always compairs me with her!!! Ugh!! Then she tells ryan just directly to ryan, "im not tryin to hurt your feelings" becuase she told us we were bein bad parents..Well I guess im the one bein a bad parent?!? what..I dont get a sorry or anything.. I didnt do anything wrong, what am I bein bad for lettin my baby sleep? Christ, im not puttin caca in her eye without a doctor saying its ok. And im not takin her to the hospital when im goin there on tuesday...

Just dont let it get to you sweetheart. Your not being a bad mother at all! Dont ever let anyone tell you that, your doing what you think is best and thats all you can do. Good luck with everything! And just keep a level head, maybe shes just jealous or something because she dosent have one anymore.

Chrissy, yea it shows up when she wakes up. She just woke up and doesnt have it right now. And its really hard to get off of her...Am I doin the right thing by not takin her in and waiting til tuesday? I mean im already goin there tuesday for a check up..But his mom is makin it seem like its life or death. I feel like im doin the right thing but I get vibes in this house that im doin the wrong thing and that im a bad parent. They said it to ryan too but said sorry. Im ready to go back to my moms but I dont wanna leave ryan I just wish he could stay back at my moms with me.

P.S. I am looking at a tube of neosporin as we speak. Tell her to read the incredibly label. It says, and I quote "warnings:for external use only. Allergy alert:do not use if allergic to any of the ingredients. Don not use *on eyes*large ares of the body" tell her to learn how to read since she is so smart.

do not put it on her eyes hell no! Clogged tear ducts are normal in babies. It takes a while for them to "un clog" tell his mom to back the f*ck off and let you 2 be the parents!

Lol ur welcome. Just tell her nicely that u read the label, and it says not to use it on eyes. And that u will choose to believe the cdc since they probably know a little more about this than she does. Lol. Also, just tell her that u know someone with a kid who had something that sounds exactly like what mackenzie has got. And it isnt serious at all. Just a bad case of the eyes boogers. I remember sometimes it would dry and his eye would be crusted shut. Use a warm washcloth to get it off. Let me know if it starts to look like wet boogers, because then I would probably say she has a clogged duct. Dont worry about it, u r not a bad mom, u r a smart one cuz I said. Lol! Love ya hun and dont worry! U r doinf what your instincts tell you, and thats the way it is supposed to be.

I didnt even read the rest of the posts. I just read the first one. Heather, she more than likely has pinkeye. D.O. .N.O.T. P.U.T. Neosporin in her eyes! That is not made for putting in you eyes, its made for putting on cuts, and ~not~ big cuts at that. Its for external use only. Read the directions. Tell his mom to read the label! Oh my god this makes me so angry that she is soooo dumb to tell you to put neosporin in your baby's eye! How is this going to spread to her whole face? It will spread to her other eye, and anyone elses eyes, but not her face. Just take her to the doctor a.S.A.P and have them check her out, and then they will give her antibiotic eyedrops for it... Lol not neosporin.

Oh.. Another thing... Call nurse direct from now on instead of consulting ryans mom about it. What if you would have actually put neosporin in her eye! No offense to ryan or you, but this woman sounds like a complete fool... Ok I just read the rest of the posts... I got pink eye without being around anyone with it. Out of no where I just got it... And since she is so young yet, ryan could have touched something at work, and could have brought it home, and you two just have stronger immune systems so you didnt get it (or at least yet). Omg... I still cannot believe that. I told my mom about it (lol i've mentioned this before, shes a nurse) and she freaked! She cannot believe that somebody would even think about doing that! I just still cannot believe that. It really makes me angry. Oh my god she is stupid. (again im sorry, no offense, lol but it sounds like you dont like her too much anyways)

Lol I dont care what ya say bout her. Shes been pissin me off lately. I didnt put anything in her eye im not stupid. I cleaned it out with warm water and its lookin better. Ryan doesnt work right now...So he couldnt have brought anything home. We barely leave the house. We came home from the dragstrip and she was like that. I think shes allergic to something and thats why her eye got like that, cause ryan and I get like that and we have allergies...I gotta go feed mackenzie now so I gotta go.

I go to the doctor tomorrow for my two week check up and so im gonna have my doc take a look at mackenzie's eye. Since last night everytime she wakes up shes got alot of gunk booger stuff in the corner of her eye, I clean it out with warm water but it comes back everytime she wakes up. So we'll see what it is. Ryan has been complaining about his eye hurting him and his eye is all pink etc so im thinkin mackenzie got it from ryan if its pink eye. But im still thinkin its alergies...
