Today I took my little pirate for his follow up with his pediatrician. Brennan's eye didn't heal as quickly as she would have liked so she said it was time to go see the pediatric ophthalmologist Plus they would be able to see the scratch better and have a better idea how to proceed.
However, before we left, she was concerned with Liam's cough. With good reason, he apparently has the start of pneumonia and a double ear infection. After checking Liam's ears, she double checked Brennan's who also has an ear infection. Above is Liam getting a breathing treatment before we left the doctors office. He's smiling because he looks like an astronaut.

Dr. Teether couldn't believe Brennan was so calm for having a scratch on his cornea and his inner eyelid. He also said that Liam got his eye really good. We are to continue giving Brennan the ointment inside his eyelid and the outside lid and he also gave us a new set of drops for his eye. He doesn't feel that the scratch will cause any scaring but we need to watch him closely and if any changes we need to call right away since there are 3 different scratches where an infection can get in. He no longer need the eye patch either, yeah! small victory.
Our new drug schedule. Some are twice a day, others three times, and some are four times a day.
There are five different medications there.
