4 Months and an Eye Injury

I can't believe it! 4 months has again, flown by! 1/3 of the year, gone! Leah won't have her check-up for another week since Dr. Boe is out of town, but we did have an emergency appointment. While she was eating her morning bottle, out of nowhere, she began screaming. I tried to console as best I could, but after about 5 miserable minutes she fell asleep. When she woke up the whole left side of her face was red and her eye was swollen and tearing. It cleared up after about 10 minutes, so I figured she just slept on that side too hard. Hours later after her afternoon nap she looked terrible again. She was also super fussy. We decided to take her in, thinking she either had a reaction to either a bug bite, or fabric...something was up. Dr. Zimmerman checked her eye with a bright purple light and noticed a scratch. He referred us immediately to an optomologist. She too diagnosed a cornial abrasion. Basically, she scratched a chunk of her eye. We were prescribed eye drops and in 24 hours she was much better! Leah was such a trooper. She was poked in that eye with two different strips, two different liquids, touched all over her face and she just smiled as if each doctor was playing with her! Such a sweetheart!

As for the rest of what's going on...

She is still sleeping through the night (BLESS HER) and napping 3 times a day. Her naps are still pretty short, about 40-60 minutes. She is spoon eating cereal, and is drinking 25 ounces of formula per day. She eats 7 ounces by 6:30 AM, and 6 oz every 4 hours throughout the day. She is still loving to roll from her back to her tummy in her crib, but still frustrated as she hasn't mastered rolling back. She has also become a belly sleeper. A few weeks ago this made me a nervous wreck! But, since the video monitor came into my life, as long as I see she has her head turned to the side, I let her stay on her belly. I am going to thoroughly enjoy these last weeks at home with her before going back to work.
