WWYD... DS being ring bearer question...
Ugh... not sure what to do here.
DS is supposed to be a ring bearer in a wedding later today.
He has pink eye.
He didn't go to the rehersal on Thursday night because he had a fever the day before and it seems there was a virus that ran through our house (hit DD, DS and hit me the hardest).
I didn't want to risk him giving the bride or groom the virus so just DH went to the rehersal.
Friday around 11:30, I got a call from DS daycare that his eye was puffy and watering and he was rubbing it.
Took him to the ped and she said it was most likely pink eye.
He's been on the antibiotic drops since Friday night. She said that if it's the bacterial pink eye, he is no longer considered contagious.
If it's the viral pink eye, he could be contagious for weeks and the drops will not make it go away. It just has to go away on it's own.
I personally feel that it's the viral kind since we were all sick with a virus last week. The ped said the only way to know for sure is if the drops don't help.
DS eye doesn't look any worse, but it doesn't really look any better. There really is no way to know if he is no longer contagious or if he still is. I've done everything on my part by giving him the drops like we're supposed to. But you can definitely tell by looking at him that he's got something going on with his eye.
So, here is my WWYD? Do you still bring him to the wedding and just make sure he doesn't get too close to anyone? Do you keep him out of the wedding? Do you call the bride mere hours before her wedding when I'm sure she is so busy with other things and ask her what she wants us to do?
Ugh..... so annoying!

I'd call her or someone close to her. But made it like no big deal but just wanted to give full disclosure and then I'd probably be comfortable with offering up letting him do the ceremony, keeping him away from everyone and then having your parents watch him for the rest of the day. Leave it to her.

Yeah, I did reach out to her about the rehearsal because I always like to give the full details up front.
Unfortunately, if he can't stay for the reception then we are going to have to leave. My MIL is going to be at our house in NJ watching Caitlin. My parents are in the city this weekend. And the wedding is in the Bronx. The reception immediately follows the ceremony, so there's no way we are driving all the way back to NJ to drop Lucas off and then go back to the Bronx to make the rest of the reception... and especially not on a Sunday.
I guess we will have to make the call and see what they say.

Hmm...tough, I think I would let the bride know (or someone close to her) and offer to keep him home or just have him do the ceremony/pictures. I know it's only hours before her wedding, but I am sure she would want to know and if she found out later that he had pink eye and she didn't know maybe she would get upset? Since he missed the rehearsal, she already knows he was sick so you could just call her to give her an update. GL!

Re: WWYD... DS being ring bearer question...
Well, I just had DH call the father of the bride. All the ladies are out getting their hair done... he will mention it to them a little later. He didn't seem to think it was a problem. He's not handing anything out, there aren't going to be any other kids there besides the flower girl.
Hopefully he will still be able to go. Man, if it's not one thing, it's another!
