Charis has been a little sick and on Monday after school, she started having green stuff come out of her eyes. A little at first and then more than we could wipe away. When it first started we were at the opthamologist for Kris and she said that is was probably just from the cold Charis already had. Right before bedtime her right eye was really swollen and the other was getting worse. And she was crying from the pain. When I called the doctor, they agreed that it could wait til first thing in the morning, but that her eyes would be coated with green mucus and she would not be able to open them or see in the morning. Along with the swelling that they said would only get worse.
So we prayed, I asked some friends to pray, gave her tylenol and put her to bed. She woke up almost every hour and Kris and I traded off taking care of her. At 11:00pm, her right eye was swollen shut and the left was really swollen. I contunied to pray for some relief and that most of all her eyes would not be stuck shut in the morning. (It is suppose to be really scary for them to have that happen and she was already experiencing some of that with her right eye being swollen shut. And she kept crying for her glasses because she thought that was the problem)
Praise GOD!!! She woke up in the morning happy and talking to her animals. The swelling had gone down almost completely, she seemed to be in little to no pain, and the green mucus was gone.
Kris took her to the doctor while I went to work. Kris said she stayed in a good mood all morning. The doctor said she had pink eye (of course), an ear infection (that she was not complaining about) and some sort of bacteria infection. And with medication her eyes were almost back to normal in two days.
Whether God miraclously healed her from the swelling, pain and green mucus during the night or as Kris said "God gave her a kick*** immune system that allowed her to recover", it is all the same to me. God is good! Thank you God for loving my baby girl as much as I do and healing her!

That must have been scary - for all of you! I'm so glad it didn't get any worse for her. I can't imagine trying to comfort a child who can't open her eyes! Hope everyone is healthy for the holidays and Charis' birthday!
