I need to rant. I'm PISSED OFF!!!!! since my daughter was born they told me they didn't get all the medication in her one eye but it shouldn't be a huge issue. so I said ok. UT I watched her. her eye kept getting funky with yellow and green slime. I took her in they didn't test her just told me it was a blocked tear duct. something told me it wasn't but I listened to the doc. couple weeks pass and it's so bad the skin around her eye is cracking when she rubs it. I take her in they tell me it's a blocked tear duct and nothing to worry about and gave me some eye drops. well those made her eye SO MUCH WORSE. so the next day I bring her in again saying this is more than a blocked tear duct. fix this now! they gave me some ointment to put in her eye and said make an appointment with an eye specialist. well I did that but the specialist told me I can't bring her in till she's closers to 1 year old. (she's not even 6 months yet) so I keep using the eye ointment till it's gone. first day I don't use it and her eye seals shut with great slime. now I'm getting angry because her doc keeps saying nothing is wrong. so I bring her back in AGAIN and this time ( 4th visit besides her normal 2 month and 4 month) they finally take a swab of her eye. results....a STAPH infection. I'm so passed I swear!!! so they give me new meds for it. not helping. so today I took her in AGAIN and this time they tell me she has 3 different kinds of bacteria growing in her eye....and she was probably born with it. I'm like are you fucking serious?!?!?!?! why didn't you figure this out before now?!?!?! so they made an appointment to go to my states child hospital...but guess what....the appointment isn't until AUGUST 29!!!! like seriously.....I've been dealing with this since BIRTH and no one would listen to me and now.....I bets a big deal and I still have to wait that long?!?! I'm so angry I seriously want to slap every doctor I've seen for my baby girl!! side note: besides her 1 eye, she's healthy and the happiest baby I know. :)
my oldest had a staph infection in her eye. it's from wiping their eyes. everyone carries the bacteria on their hands. they didn't catch my daughters until she was 3 months old and its because in kept bugging and bugging that her eyes weren't getting better and she had an awful rash on her face. We ended up switching pediatricians and that's when they finally swabbed her. she had to take antibiotics and have a steroid to clear the skin. they told me to watch to make sure it cleared up or else they'd have to give her a really strong prescription that can cause problems with how young she was. I was beyond pissed. but it finally cleared up and went away... if you know something's not right keep pushing them until they find out what's the matter
I unleashed the PISSED off mommy inside of me today. and they STILL expect me to wait almost 2 months....when I told then several times something was wrong
I've been pushing. I already told them I switching doctors for her. no one will listen. not even my own family. I keep being told I'm just over paranoid because I'm a ftm. @themommaoffour
