Alyvia woke up this morning and one of her eyelids is slightly puffy. It won't open as completely as the other, which kind of gives her a .O_o look. The eye itself isn't pink or bloodshot or anything, and it doesn't seem to be bothering her. I didn't think much of it until my husband came home for lunch and said something about it. It hasn't really improved since we woke up.
I don't want to take her to the doctor if it's nothing, but if it gets worse... tomorrow's .saturday and I don't think .i'd have any other option but to take her to the .e.r...
It sounds like nothing, right?
***update***
*sigh* her eye looks fine now, but she's running a low-grade fever. She had an axillary temp of 38.2 c (100.76 f) so we gave her some .tylenol. She doesn't feel quite as warm now, so .i'm wondering if part of that was her curled up against us. She seems only slightly fussy, so .i'm going to keep an eye on her. I checked her gums and none of them are bulging or hemorrhaging, so...
I hate this. I'm not used to her being hurt or sick. She's always been healthy.
