A poop story

Disclaimer* If you don't have small children or do have a weak stomach you may not want to read on*


Alivia's daycare called me at work on thursday and said that she was complaining that her stomach hurt and it hurt to go potty..and she had a fever. It was 4:00 when they called so I told them someone would be there by 5. I ended up having to stay home with her friday because she had a fever. She just kinda laid around all day and I noticed there was no number 2 that day. On Saturday, she still had a fever and still no number 2. A few times that day she would all of a sudden announce "I have to go poop right now" we would run to the bathroom and she would say that she couldn't push it out.

We have a secret food cures book. I was looking through it for constipation and fever. For a fever it said to cut up raw potatoes and put them on the bottom of her feet and wrap a bandage around them to keep them in place. I didn't even try it, she was way too crabby and I knew there was no way she would let me near her with raw potatoes! For constipation it said to massage the area under the bottom lip and above the chin. Weird....

Later saturday night, we ran to the bathroom again, while she was sitting there concentrating on the deed at hand I thought, what the heck. So I took my finger and started to massage under her lip and above her chin, of course she told me not to touch her. I tried again and she let me for a few seconds. She said she couldn't push it out again. So she got down and started to walk away. She didn't even get 10 feet away and came running back saying "It's coming out, It's coming out!" She sat back down and SUCCESS!!! IT WORKED!!!!

I couldn't believe it and maybe even thought it was a coincidence. BUT, It happened again on sunday. I wanted to share this with anyone who has ever had this happen to their kid, hey, it's worth a try!!!
