Mom dropped off dcb Friday. She said, "This one...he had an incident with a bath toy last night. So he's got a scratch on the side of his butt and it might hurt a little when he poops. In the back of my mind I thought we should take it out of the tub, but I didn't do it. I felt so bad. Let me know how his day goes."
Later on at nap time I sent updates about our day to all the parents, and I immediately got a text from Mom asking how he was. Then Dad called me and actually told me what happened and sent me a picture of the toy. It was a sharp stick on a plastic boat and according to Dad it impaled him. They had to pull the toy out of his butt. Out with the toy came blood and poop. I couldn't believe it.
Now I will say that little boy seemed his normal self and pooped normal, but had I known the whole story I would have told Mom that he needed to seek medical care.
Dad told me what the internet said and I guess I was just shocked. If that were me I would have rushed my kid to the E.R.
I don't even know what to think, but I'm saving texts and pictures.
Do any of you have any thoughts on this? How would you have handled it or handle it now? I just can't believe they didn't take him to the doctor.
