I have a dcb who, last Thursday vomited here. He was fine here yesterday but vomited again just after drop-off this a.m. His Mom has also been vomiting on and off for a couple of weeks now but husband is fine. Moms Dr. is referring her to a specialist. Now dcb went to the Dr. today and his Dr. is also referring him to a GI specialist. Mom wants to bring him in tomorrow. Dr. states he"doesn't appear" to have anything contagious but my rule is it is "my call" whether or not he comes back. Not the Drs. My issue is #1 that I can't keep cleaning up vomit here, which I informed Mom of (who is very nice btw) and #2, what could be causing such a thing?

I have a young cousin who had this and they never did diagnose her with anything. She’s 6 now and it still happens occasionally.
My concern here is that it’s not just the child but also the mom. -
This would be a sanitation issue for me. That stinks for that family if it is nothing contagious, but I would not be happy cleaning up puke all the time. Yuck!Comment

Maybe they have a shared food allergy or gastroparesis which isn't considered hereditary but can run in families? I'd be glad they were getting it checked though. How old is dcb? For me, it would depend on how often and how much he vomited. Is there any rhyme or reason to it...like it always happens right after he eats or is it hit or miss and could happen any time? Is he old enough to be taught to grab a bowl or run to the bathroom or is he too young? Those would be factors in my decision to let him return. I don't blame you for not wanting to clean up vomit on daily basis, though. I wouldn't want to do that!Comment

You should not even begin to feel like it is your job to clean up after him. I would exclude.Comment

Do they have a carbon monoxide detector in their home? Does she leave the car in the garage running to warm up in the morning?- Unless otherwise stated, all my posts are personal opinion and worth what you paid for them.

It could be any number if reasons, I was talking to a friend today who's 3 almost 4 year old just started morning care in preschool progom in September. Rhe child has vomited every day since starting due to what mom says is anxiety. Personally there is no way I would have kept a kid that long who vomited. More then once would be enough for me.Comment

I was thinking carbon monoxide poisoning, too, but thought, "No; Dad would probably be sick, too." I never gave any thought to the fact that she might be warming the car up after dcd left for work! I had an elderly uncle who used to warm his car up in the garage. He and my aunt frequently felt sick but never made the connection until one of their kids asked him if he was warming his car up without opening the garage door. Sure enough that was the problem in their case.Comment

He is 4 and has been with me for a couple of years now-no issues like this. Both he and Mom have just started having this issue within the last few weeks. He vomited once last week here, once on the weekend with Grandpa and then today. He was able to "sav a huge mess" from happening today but of course it still needed sanitizing all over my bathroom. I asked her to keep him home tomorrow even though the Dr. sent the "ok for daycare" note. Love those! Even the note states "he doesn't APPEAR to be ill so he is okay to go to daycare. " Surrrrre…….Glad Drs. decide who I have in my home and when. LOLComment

My daughter just got diagnosed with strep on Sunday and the DR told me she was ok to go to school THE NEXT DAY!!! I looked at her with
and said “she is still contagious so I don’t think so”. Makes you wonder how many parents she has said this to and how many sicknesses could habe been avoided.

The nurse assistant at urgent care (after diagnosing my dd with hfm) said that since the sores were in her mouth and no where else, that she could go to school & daycare since they won’t noticeMy daughter just got diagnosed with strep on Sunday and the DR told me she was ok to go to school THE NEXT DAY!!!

Doctors notes. :
: They are the worst clients. I have way too many as personal family friends and live to bust their b
lls about it. The slackiest of slacker daycare parents. They are so desensitized and triage oriented.
I swear they are worse than mechanics and their own vehicles.
Of course, not all, just all of mine.- Unless otherwise stated, all my posts are personal opinion and worth what you paid for them.Comment
