Need Advice About DD...(Warning...This Is Pretty Disgusting)

[isyne4u]

I must have been reading too quickly because the first time through I thought it say DH, not DS. I was picturing a grown man walking around in his underwear with toilet paper hanging out and I had no idea why you would be telling us this!

Actually, I think people have told stories about their DH's that were this bizarre!! And way too TMI!

My sons have both eaten rabbit turds and survived!! How is the baby today?

I agree that if she starts acting sick then call the Dr., otherwise I would wait. If she gets a case of bright green loose poopthen call asap as it could be roto virus and that is how roto is passed, through touching poop and then touching a mucous membrane. It might be a little early, depending on where you live, for it to be roto though. Good luck and no, you are not a bad mother.

I want to warn those of you who might be sensitive right now to just hit the back button. I feel like the world's worst mother and I really could use some advice about what to do.

DS used the restroom a little while ago and he is working on cleaning himself up. Well I guess some of the paper he used was still stuck to him in his underwear and at some point recently that piece fell out of his underwear into our hallway floor. Well DD was playing in the hallway a few minutes ago and I noticed she was putting something in her mouth...well you can guess what she found. I immediately took everything out of her mouth and brushed her teeth and then washed her hands and used anti-bacterial gel. I am so completely grossed out and I can't begin to imagine how bad that could be for her. Should I call the doctor? Do I just have to hope it doesn't make her sick? At this point I can't imagine what they could do?[/QUOTE


Really just about the worst that could happen is she could get a retrovirus which makes her get severe diarrhea. If you see signs of this watch for dehydration and if bad enough Dr. can prescribe things to solidify stool but it's mostly waiting it out. Scary thought, but try swabbing a public elevator button, door knob, bathroom lock, etc. and grow a culture. My DD's class did this, We are exposed to this stuff and worse dozens of times a day. Okay know I must go disinfect in my special shower, and enter my plastic bubble for the night.
