Would you go back to the hospital?

Is he still drinking? Dehydration would be my main concern if you think the blood is from the skin. If he is showing signs of dehydration I wouldn't wait. However, if he's drinking and remaining hydrated and If you think the blood is from the outside I would wait til morning. Saturday night in Casualty is no fun for anyone, so I would avoid it if you don't think it's an emergency.. I hope he's betetr soon and GRRRR to the day care! Twice??? I hope you have put in a major complaint!

Yep, a MAJOR complaint. I even stood face to face with the director and very nearly breathed fire.... lol. Ok so no breathing fire but I very calmly and firmly explained how wrong this was.

He's still drinking like a champ, eating like usual (although we're sticking to starchy and fibrous foods) even laughing and playing so I'm not concerned about dehydration.

NW3 - Definitely looking into that bum cream!

Hope - I could try the sink thing but it's really a logistical nightmare as he's not a fan of water of any depth...... thrashing toddler and sore bum? Ehh... Not sure. On the up side, it's so liquidy it doesn't really stick to his cheeks at all. I just give him a good dab with aloe vera wipes and then straight on with the cream. He always sighs with relief when the cream goes on.

Calluna - Oh, I know. I'm hip with all the rules as my sister is a qualified group leader (studying for her directorship) within the same childcare company! Policy was blatantly ignored. But apparently that's okay. I took it as high as the state manager, but got no response. I stopped sending him with ANY kind of meds, and kept him home if he needed panadol or nurofen (given that he could be seriously harmed if they effed that up) and in the end, when my complaint went unsatisfied, I changed his kindy. He then went to my sisters kindy which was great but once we moved house it was just too far to travel. So we moved him, and this milk saga happened in the first two weeks. So bad. Now he's in his fourth kindy in 8 months because well, frankly....... I'm choosy when it comes to who takes care of my pride and joy.
