Guest guest Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Thanks, for your response. I finally got ahold of our eye doctor and although he was okay with which antibiotic drops the GP prescribed - he changed the dosage/times per day we are supposed to use them. And he felt Micah should also be on an oral antibiotic at the same time. So, we started all of that this afternoon. If he is not tons better by tomorrow we are supposed to see the pediatric opthalmologist. They said not to " mess around " with any infection in the eyes due to his slings. I know if it was the other kids I wouldn't have been as worried. I'm a little over-protective of my Micah.
