You may recall that Ella had a spate of eye snot? Well I took her back to the docs last week, and he said to use johnsons baby shampoo in water to clean her eyes - which I did, and it seemed to clear up.....until yesterday when it was back with a vengeance.

The GP had said to ring him if it hadn't cleared up, so I did and we have eye drops!

IMAGE THE FUN IF YOU WILL!

Of course Ella sits perfectly still and lets you drop them in - NOT! And I've got to give them to her 4 times a day! MIL has had her today, and managed it once (coward).

So hurrah! I think I may have to get one of those braces they use to immobilize people on back boards...

So far, the best way I've found is to lie her on the table and give her her juice - then quickly sneek up on her from the side so she doesn't have to time to realise whats going on!

Of course that only works for 1 eye...
