About a month ago a previous dcb age 2 3/4 yr old came to daycare with what looked like boils on his butt. Mom was consulted and she said "oh it's just a boil but will keep an eye on it" one week later boil hasn't disappeared and another had formed.
I said "I think a trip to the doctors will be needed". She informs me that the boil is sore and she will give him a nice long bath that night.
Upon arriving at daycare with both boys she said after his bath the night before, she lanced the boil and he is quite comfortable now. I didn't feel comfortable about this and asked her to make an appointment for the doctors since this is going on the second week.
The end of the week she pulls both kids and I didn't resist since they have been such a handful with the older being ADD and bouncing off the wall every chance he gets both parents do not see the sign and are in denial about his ADD.
So off to the new provider they go. It is now the second week at the new provider/original before I and she "MADE" the mom bring the child to the doctors or she would term the children. As I said, this is the same provider that had the children before I got them.
Long story short I just got a phone call saying the boils were really MRSA and she called because she thought I should know. So I'm not only pissed but worried that I'm now infected. I called my doctor's office and they informed me unless I'm showing any signs the prob I'm not infected. Being overly cautious I insisted on a full check up so off to the doctors I go tomorrow.
Does this child's mom think I GAVE the child MRSA? Not any of my other children have it and as far as changing the child I follow every precaution while putting this child on the potty. I have an ample supply of hand soap, hand sanitizer, towels are not shared, we use paper towels. Water and Clorox is used to sanitize the changing mat and cleaning the toilet seat as well as washing the floor since I have little boys is done regularly. BTW the father who takes care of the boys at night is not very cautious about child's toileting. He has shown up with awful rashes that I've had to medicate out of his neglect. I'm pissed! (Sorry, am I allowed to say that? Sorry in advance if I can't)
What are your thoughts? My emotions are going wild right now between feeling betrayed by this parent to feeling mad because she would not listen to me and take him to the doctors.
