Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Can we start a club? Emerence said her ear hurt ( and she has tubes) and she has had a drippy cold this week. So, I was figuring on an ear infection by Sunday... However, she " presents " in an unusual way...she either gags all day (but doesn't get sick) or goes to bed and w/in 1 hour throws up everywhere. Well, she went to bed and up came the h igh calorie chocolate shake. AND< to top it off her daycare sent a note home saying someone has lice (I keep looking at her scalp - she is not pleased with me). got it twice from daycare and it is a nightmare to get rid of! So we'll see if it is a bug or an ear infection. , mom to 5 and Emerence 2.5 22 lb 32 " > It's my lucky night. I've just been vomited on.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Oh lice is the worst!! 3 years ago this time, I had a guy I was in a relationship with, well his kids got lice and gave it to Adam. And I didn't catch it fast enough to realize I HAD CAUGHT IT!!!!! Horrible, I have been down that road! UGH Now I wanted to write to tell you that if Emerence is gagging a lot after you put her to sleep, it's probably the phlegm. If you can, try raising her up when she sleeps. I forget how old she is (sorry) so if she is still in a crib you can raise the mattress with books under it, if she's old enough to be in a bed.......give her a few pillows to keep her in a semi prone position. My daughter (non RSS 16 years old) couldn't sleep on Sunday night at ALL, from her gagging and coughing so on Monday night I made her sleep with 2 extra pillows and she slept through the night without one bark!!

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 How is Emerence? My biggest fear in life is Lice. I'm honestly not sure I would handle that very well. - H > > It's my lucky night. I've just been vomited on.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 I even went in last night with a high powered flashlight and still nothing. I think we might be safe if they sent the note home on Tuesday. And they don't tell you which kid had it, which I understand, but if I knew I could figure o ut how likely it was that she played with that kid or if they were on a different schedule (one of the things I love about our daycare is it is hourly and you se your schedule - most parents seem to work hybrid daycare arrangements so sometimes kids do not see each other if they come different hrs etc.) It is h orrific. When got them I freaked and cried...it was awful. I had to wash, vacuum, delouse everything in the entire house. And I did it twice to be sure, carpets, couch, bedding, toys, clothes...UGH > > > It's my lucky night. I've just been vomited on.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Hi , My kids got lice one time when we lived down south. And although it's a pain in the butt (tons of work!!), it's not an indication of how clean you or your kids or your house are... After our one and only episode, a friend told me to use a " high content " coal tar shampoo on my kids at least once a week (most of the dandruff shampoos contain coal tar, at the time Tegaderm was highest in coal tar) I have no idea if it was a fluke, but they NEVER brought lice home again. According to this friend, who has lived in the deep south most of her life, lice don't like the coal tar. I also checked my kids on a weekly basis, and kept several bottles of RID in the house just in case. Hope this helps!
