I can't believe it....

I hope so too! My eyes hurt SOOOO bad this morning and were totally red again. We haven't used the humidifier for a few nights though. Scott's eyes are really red too still. It's just frustrating. But at least I'm wearing contacts again. I just feel prettier and it makes me feel like it's not SO bad lol.

Layla is doing fantastic! Every once in awhile she stands up I took some video of her walking around my parents' yard last weekend in her cart... I'll put them on YouTube when I get some time!

I bet she is glad she can get around with her wheels!

Put the humidifier on!!!

[Lindsey]

It is just sooooooo loud, we try to turn it on when we get home from work and have it run until we go to bed so we can shut if off to sleep... but we've been forgetting to do that, especially on the weekends.

It sounds like it might be time to invest in a quiet humidifier. Or make some other noise to cover the humidifier noise. What I mean is, can you use a big fan or something that won't bother you as much as the humidifier.

Gary's oxygen machine (that he has to use during sleep) makes an awful noise, and it is not the same noise, it goes something like this, WHOOOOSH - KA THUMP - WOOOSH - KA THUMP over and over again. I just lay in bed and keep listening for the whoosh or the ka thump over and over and over and over - well you get the picture - it keeps me AWAKE.

So, we got a BIG wind machine fan - it makes a huge amount of noise, but it is the same noise and doesn't change, so it becomes white noise and it covers the whoosh ka thump noise. That's the only thing that saves me from the whoosh ka thump, whoosh ka thump, whoosh ka thump ALL NIGHT LONG!

Lindsay, I posted on the wrong thread, asking about your eyes. Are they better?

[Lindsey]

Not really Gayle. They are red in the mornings but don't really itch or bother me anymore though. Scott's are also red in the mornings.

We bought an anti-allergen mattress cover thinking it may be something in our mattress bothering our eyes (we got our new bedroom set when the problem started) and it did seem to maybe help a little, but it's really hard to tell. When we don't sleep at home, our eyes are fine. Tonight I thought about it while we were watching tv and Scott's eyes were white and he said mine were too. I know they will be red again in the morning!

I am wearing contacts full-time again and they don't itch or get sore and are easy to remove so I don't think dry eyes is a problem. I guess if my vision is fine and I don't feel discomfort I will just wait until my next normal optometrist check-up to have them looked at again. I need a break from the eyeball prodding!

LOL! I'd be tired of the eyeball prodding too! It must be something in the bedroom that is causing it. Hopefully, you will get used to it. I'm glad though, that your eyes don't hurt anymore!
