So here is the back ground about 2 months ago DCB (4 years old only day care child at the time) had some as dad called them skin irritations that looked like bug bites and did not bother the child. They where first noticed by when child was placed in bed after falling asleep on the way home.
At that time a plan to put a blanket or towel down when child plays on the carpet at my house, per dad’s request.
I also let dad know I was concerned that according to his own account of the situation they seam to be multiplying/spreading from Tuesday to Wednesday (this is a time I do not have the child)
Latter Mom stopped by to pay me some money and asked about the marks I told her what I knew and she said that Dad said that they where caused by my carpet. I told her that was Dad’s theory and shared that I was concerned that they seemed to be spreading or multiplying when he was not in my care.
So Wednesday Morning Dad E-mails me
I would just like to let you know that we discovered last night there were new irritations on ****** face and arms. When we picked him up yesterday from daycare, he fell asleep in the car on the way home. When we got home and put him in bed, and there we noticed that there were what appeared to be a small insect bite on both sides of his face and one on his left arm. Would you know if he was recently exposed to anything that may have caused this? I know we have discussed that a blanket or towel would be placed on the floor when Gavin plays to isolate the cause of the irritations; by chance is that still used? The bites or irritations do not seem as severe as last time, though they were noticeable and apparent, so Im just curious as to what may be the source affecting Gavin this way.
More back ground the child had one long sleeves that day and I did not notice anything when picked up and if they where noticed by dad’s girlfriend at pick up she did not say anything. This child has at least a 1 hour car ride home. It has been mentioned to me more than once that the child usually falls asleep on the way home and therefore goes to bed with out dinner. This child does not come on Wednesdays or Thursdays.
I E-mailed back
I have stopped using a blanket on the floor when the children play as it seams to interfere with what they are doing and in general getting their way. This is an unusually situation. The timeline you described above which is similar to last time, does not make it clear where the bite like marks are coming from. What I would like to start doing is have whom ever drops him off at school check his arms and face with a teacher at school and take a mental note of marks if any. Then when I pick him up do the same thing. Then when he is picked up here at the end of the day do the same thing again. That will let us know at least which location is the cause of the bite like marks. After the location has been discovered then it will be easier to isolate the cause. Please let me know what you think of this plan.
I have not heard form dad yet. I plan on doing a visual of the Childs arms and legs and saying something load enough for the teacher to hear when I pick him up from school on Friday. Something like oh *** there are X # of marks on your face and arms do they bother you, then repeating that process when the child is picked up.
So what else should I do as the Dad already thinks that my carpet is the cause of the situation! I do not since they are first noticed after an hour or more car ride home, and nobody else here is experiencing this.
