Official word
The official name of The Red Planet is acute follicular conjunctivitis according to the super duper eye doc at the hospital. That's fancy talk for the Mother of all pink eye. No bacteria, no allergic reaction...just super duper pink eye diagnosed from the super duper eye doctor.

The saga continues...
Jamie's eye is a bit better, but it's still pretty nasty. The swelling has gone down a lot, but it's still really red. There are no more wrinkles in the eyeball, and no iron or spray starch was needed to smooth it out.
Yesterday was a follow up with the GP. She sent him to an opthamologist. That doc changed the script again and is sending him to the super duper eye specialist at the hospital. Apparently, the consensus is that it is some type of bacterial infection that is resistant to the antibiotics.
There have been calls for pics of the funky eye. I will post one later today...now that it's healed a bit and not looking like something from outer space.
Oh, and Jay, that same oracle once told me, "Thank god a Habs fan you are because the Leafs suck. Yes, they do."

Diagnosis
The ER doc says Jamie has horrific pink eye coupled with an allergic reaction of some sort. Not sure what the allergic reaction is to. Nevertheless, it's there. After changing some of the medication, he should see improvement in 48 hours. If not, back to the ER....and to the big ER with eye specialists...yay!
Red, wrinkle eye
Jamie is in the emergency room right now. He went to the doctor because his left eye was red and swollen, and it hurt. The doc said it was the worst case of pink eye she had ever seen. She gave him some meds and said if it got worse in the next 48 hours to go to emergency.
So, today it wasn't better, and his eye was actually wrinkly. Yes, there were like folds in his eyeball...kinda freaky. I feel very badly that he is there by himself. With the baby, I dropped him off around 1:30 this afternoon, and it's now almost 4:30. No word yet...we'll see what happens.
I know he's old, but a wrinkly eye...come on!
