Today she brought me suppositories and said that it didn't work last night and she isn't will to try it again. She wont do it again but its okay for me to try? While watching 5 other children. Just seems like she can't be bothered to take him to the doctor to get some help for him. I feel aweful that he has to come to daycare feeling this way. *sigh* As a licensed daycare I am not willing to do suppositories nor do I think its my responsibility. What would you suggest I do? Do I refuse to accept him tomorrow if he still hasn't gone or send him home when it gets bad again today? I also suggest prune juice/ sauce which she decided not buy.

Feedback Please!
To answer your question, I would NOT do it unless they bring me a doctors prescription for this over the counter medicine.

And all that was suggested is good.

We're still talking about pooh Skysue? hahaha!!!
