    This....we could guess all day WHY it happened. The fact is that she vomited and the rules state _________________________.

    you always exclude for the symptoms, not the WHY/Reason.........

        I need to post this to the top of my brain so I don't forget it. My dcf's have been really good so far so I haven't had to deal with much craziness. They usually stay home for illness. This caught me of guard because everyone is usually so good.

            I used to work in a nursing home... If the child is puking due to constipation, she needs a doctor! It very well can indicate the child has a bowel obstruction which needs to be addressed very quickly. An elderly lady I used to care for had one and no one caught it until she was puking up poo essentially. Nurses all thought she was constipated and kept using suppotories to make her go... She passed away the day it got noticed.

            Like others said, puke is puke. Puking=going home here. A previous DCG would cry until she puked all over.... She went home each time even though she wasn't "sick"

                    Oh hooray! Now I get to have a talk with dcm tomorrow about blockages. I doubt dcm will take dcg to the doctor, though.

                        That would require an immediate exclusion until the condition was resolved and a doc note xonfirming it. Too risky to have the kid in care.
