Some stupid parents sent their kids to daycare despite them having conjunctivitis - so now Taine has it. SOOooooooo unimpressed.
slightly amused this morning though when Taine literally couldn't open his eyes and was trying so hard to see. Shouldn't really laugh, but it was pretty funny...poor Taine. Child now has sore eyes and is inisiteing on being out with me...until 10...not so good when he usually has a bedtime of 7. driving me nuts cause I want a bath! |

Oh Poor baby....Zaara had conjunctivitis last year on a regular basis as just like your day care some parents sent their kids with it....On the other hand DH and I had to take turns and stay home till it cleared.
It makes me mad too.... Here is hoping he gets better soon!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

wow, our daycare would send the kids home if they turned up with it, seriously, any hint of green gunk from any orrifice and they're outta there.
In saying that, Ayja tends to get it, not from anyone in particular but when she has a bad cold she has always gotten it, her tear ducts and drainage ducts always get all blocked up with gunk from her cold and she has always had an awful habit of wiping her nose up her sleeve then in the next instant using her sleeve to wipe her eyes. Still, any watering and she's kept home with me until the eye drops are all finished. It's just not fair sometimes ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

LOl...Janine..Zaara use to do that too...wipe nose rub eyes....our day care does that too....but by the time they see it kids have already shook hands, cuddles and share their germs (well my theory).
As soon Zaara walks thru the door she has 3 girls who come and give her a hug.....  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I think Char might have it or the beginnings of it - what can you do for it? Do they need a prescription or is there something you can get from the chemist? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| technically no. if you know the name of the satuff, you can go in and ask for it from the chemist - my grandmother did. if you don't - they won't give it to you and send you to the doctor. |

You can get it from the pharmacist yourself, as you'd do if you go it for instance (I had it last year). But if you have a preschooler, take them to the doctor and get a prescription! Better care and better price -------------  |
