I See Red

Last Friday, Daddy noticed a bright red patch on the white area of my left eye when he came back from work. Mommy was very worried about it too. So, this morning they took me to see Dr.Florence, who then, referred us to Dr.Ulagantheran, an eye specialist. He said that it is probably a little broken blood vessel (subconjunctival hemorrhage)and should clear in about 2 or 3 weeks' time. I could follow the light of his torchlight, so he said that it is not necessary to do further tests at this point in time.

Can you see the red in my left eye? It is actually redder below my cornea, beneath the skin.

So, what was the cause? Dr. Florence mentioned that sometimes it happens to newborns due to the strain during labour. Dr. Ula said the same thing. For older babies, it could be due to strain as a result of persistent coughs (which I didn't have) or some other reasons. I have not been poo-ing everyday lately. Last Friday, I cried very loudly when I had to poo. So probably, I strained a bit too much whilst trying to poo...
