DCB-2 showed up here on Monday with runny poops. It happened 2 times, and I put him down for nap, if it happened a third time I would've sent him home. There were no more poops, and he woke up from nap at 4 (goes home at 5) and we were outside. Tuesday, Mom kept him home for runny poops (sent me a text saying he had soft poops and she'd be keeping him home!! Yay! The kicker... she wanted to swap out days (Tuesday for Thursday) (I know this is a big NO-NO, but for this week it worked out and I let her, this week only... I made sure I said it's not how things work, but I'm making an exception!). Well he came back yesterday and did not have any poop, but was in a terrible mood. No fever. Today he shows up and has had two TERRIBLE stinky, leaky poops, but seems in a better mood?!? I want to send him home...
Oh, and there's another DCB out today because he's puking. So, it's probably contagious.
Send him home right?? As I write this, it seems like a no-brainer. Not sure why I feel bad, except he's in a good mood so the parents are probably going to be like WTH.
It's in my health policy of my handbook;

What if he had a major reaction while in my care? I wouldn't even know why he was having this negative reaction? Common sense parents!!
