Coming home from a fairly nice dinner out my DH said I have a pain in my stomach-so I stop at the gas staion to take him to the restroom-got ot of the car >too late< poop everywhere.I got him into the restroom ,and got him cleaned up the best I could with no paper towels and little toilet tissue.And you know you just can not get their butt up to that air hand drier!! At least as I was trying to clean him up he lood at me through teary eyes and said "I'm sorry". I know he could not help it but it wa still quiet a mess to deal with in a tiny gas station restroom.Altho I guess it might have been worse just along side the road!!
bak be lucky you had finished dinner.. :) its all in a days work sometimes. not fun but doable has always been my motto and believe me nothing fazes me at this point. you did good, just get to the job of helping him and back home to clean up. yep it can happen anytime any place.probably a good idea to start carrying an emergency kit in your car now. a depend, wipes, washcloth, etc
Although there's only been one accident in 5 years, and it wasn't the messy kind, it broke my heart to see the look of humiliation on his face. I now keep a bag in the back of the car - extra underwear, depends, wipes, gloves, extra pair of pants, just like Divvi said.
I always carry a change of clothes in the car and baby wipes and paper towels ec. te proble was I did not discover the extent of the mess until we were in the restroom and there was no way to leave him and go back to the car.I was afraid to leave him alone in there for fear he might come out half dressed or worse.
I remember when my twins were infants, everytime I didn't have a change of clothes and wipes and paper towels and all that stuff, I ended up wishing that I had because they would have accidents. But whenever I did have the bag ready they never needed it. I would rather be prepared than not be prepared.
Yep, I, too, have learned to be prepared for these accidents. The trick for me is preventing my dh from removing "his" things from the car - he forgets why I have them in there. And, I find it absolutely incredible that my dh doesn't seem to be bothered in the least when he pees his pants and is out in public. The time he had a "blowout" in the movie theatre bathroom, however, he was pretty humbled yuk,(I get creeped out just thinking about that episode) - since I took him off Aricept we haven't had any more episodes with poop that I have to clean up (PTL).
Does the Aricept affect most people in"that" way. Just wonder because our dr.has talked about adding it in the future. I really don't need anymore problems like THAT.
Here's a different story to take our minds off the poop. This happened suddenly too.
A 12-year-old Campbell River boy snuck out of bed to watch TV and ended up delivering his new baby brother instead.
Gaelan Edwards was lying in front of the television set early Saturday morning when he heard his mother call for help.
Danielle Edwards, 30, said in a telephone interview that she woke about 2 a.m. to find herself in labour with the baby's head already beginning to crown. "I didn't go through any of the preliminary labour pains," she said. "None of it."
Unable to walk or reach the telephone, she rolled onto her back and noticed the TV on in the other room. Figuring it was her oldest son, she said, "Gaelan, I need you to come over here."
"It was like a springboard; he sat straight up, came and stood in the doorway area to my room. He put his hands on his hips and said, 'Mom, this is not going to be an at-home baby.'"
Then he saw the top of the baby's head and went straight to his mother's side.
"I said, 'Gaelan, when I push next, I need you to grab the baby by the shoulders and I need you to pull him out.' And he — just like by instinct, I couldn't even believe it — grabbed the baby by the shoulders, with the head on his wrist, and eased him out, kind of wriggled him from side to side, and pulled him onto the bed."
Danielle then watched as her oldest son went to the kitchen and came back with scissors and a clamp normally used to seal plastic bags. He clamped the cord, cut it, and helped his mother push out the placenta.
"He was amazing," Danielle said. "He helped me put the baby on my tummy, then he went and grabbed a blanket and helped me wrap the baby ... It was like he knew."
Once satisfied that his brother was safe, Gaelan got on the telephone and called one of Danielle's friends to take her and her new son, Caynan Edwards-Strong, to the hospital, where both were pronounced in good health.
Gaelan was initially unavailable for comment Monday, because he was out riding his bike.
