Day Care Agonies

I suddently felt I need to write this out. Kids at day care should not be pool bathed.

This morning, I received call from Najihah's day care saying that I could not send her to school next week because of the boils she is having right now. Well, she had them couple of months ago (after a series of treatment for her sister, Nabilah) when we decided we got to see the doctor again and treat her. The pustules (or should I say, cutaneous abcess with furuncles and carbuncle - that what they wrote in her GL) look itchy but it doesn't. Some of them already erupted and healing but new pustules came out because she scratched them when we were not looking. So, the teacher freak out today seeing those red boils and asked me to take her back. I was like, What! She got it from her friends and you asked me to take her back when some of them are healing? I was screaming inside, who's gonna take care of her. I could not possible take leave until the boils clear (which will take about a month or two). Easier said by the teacher, one less kid to take care for them. One big problem for the parent, like me (no maid, no relative nearby etc).

It all started when one of the kid got it at the day care and they did not abstain the child from having pool bath. They love pool bath so much! Then the boils infected one of the children with eczema (took one month leave to take care but she got someone to take care at home), then my eldest daughter got it (when to treatment 4 times in two months, everything cleared after that). Then, my younger daughter got it. Very unlucky for us!

Gonna buy some Tea Tree Oil to clear them faster. Have to bring the children to Warta tonight!
