Most Embarrassing Moment! Posted: 05-04-07 15:14pm
My poor lil' man.
We have only lived in our house for a few
weeks. I went over to my neighbors house
for the first time to visit. My son and
her son went upstairs to play. They are
extremely careful with their carpets
(i.e., shoes off before going
upstairs...). My neighbor's little boy
comes down stairs and mentions how it
smells of poop really bad and how Nate is
just laying there. For people who don't
know, Nathan is on day two of cleansing
and is on medication. He was doing fine
and we were only going to stay there for
five minutes. He had just had a blow out
before we went over there. Well, I went
upstairs to check on him and there was
diarrhea all over their nice carpet. Nate
was just laying there. He has never had a
blow up like that ever!! Nathan had poop
all up and down his leg, on his shirt,
everywhere!. It was so horrible. The room
smelled so bad. To make matters worse, he
happened to be in the kid's older brothers
room who is a little OCD and notices
everything!! He is at school right now.
There appears to be a little stain in the
carpet but my neighbor doesn't believe in
using carpet cleaners or other stuff to
get the poop out. She said if water
doesn't work, nothing will. I know
something will help it come out. She does
agree to have someone come out and clean
the carpet if needed. So, we may have to
hire a carpet cleaner. I really believe
something else will work but what else can
I do? I feel so bad but slightly irritated
that she won't try resolve it or something
else besides water.
To top that off, I think I am having
pregnancy poop problems due to internal
hemorroids. I also have two dogs and need
to pick up their poop. In about 11 or so
weeks, we will be changing our newborns
diapers several times a day.
Oh, the joys of poop
To top it off, it's my 5 year wedding
anniversary today!! We are celebrating
tomorrow, not tonight.

your neighbor sounds a little nuts. just

cleaner called .folex. they sell it at
walmart, it's in a very plain white spray
bottle and it works wonders.

Oh, how horrible. I would have died. I
feel so bad for nathan! How old is he
agian?
Yeah, I would be a little preterbed that
she isn't trying to clean the carpet at
all. Was
she pissy with you about it? If you do
have to hire a carpet cleaner I would
specify that only that room is to be
cleaned. No more!
Is there anything you can do for internal
hemorroids? Or just time?

Nathan is 3 years. 8 months. Old enough to
feel a little embarrassed. When I was
cleaning Nate up, the other little boy
poked his head in the room and said
"That's the first little boy I ever seen
naked besides my brother." The boy is only
5 years old. It was actually kind of
funny. I just feel so bad for Nathan,
though. He seems fine right now and is
playing right here. He seems to bounce
back quickly.
The girl is actually not being that pissy
about it. She said it's gross but not a
big deal. She did seem a little annoyed
that it might be stained but that is
understandable. I know whenever I feel
like something may stain the carpet, I get
out cleaner immediately to avoid a stain.
It just seems like she should try
something on it. I offered to buy her some
carpet cleaner stuff from the store and
some "fragrance"!
I may have to get some Folex for myself.
Thanks for that tip!
Most carpet cleaning companies require you
to clean two rooms. If we need to hire
one, I will call around. Perhaps I will
just be a nice neighbor and clean two of
her rooms if I can't find a company to
only clean one.
I don't think you can do anything for
internal hemorroids!! It's just a pain in
the butt!!

Yeah, I didn't think you could.
She is a mother herself so I was hoping
she would be understanding. But you never
know.

Oh Poor .Nate!! And poor you. Who ever
heard of not using something besides water
to clean your carpets? Odd.
I'm glad he's getting cleaned out though.
Ask your doc, but mine told me it was ok
to use preparation H. There are a couple
kinds. Some that is not ok to use up
there, and some that is.
It worked wonders.

I have some ointment for hemorrhoids (I
suffer from external ones thanks to giving
birth) & it comes with an applicator
that you can use on internal ones. It's a
uk brand I'm guessing, but I'm sure
there'll be an equivalent one you could
use! I'd see your doctor about it if
you're unsure though.

Thanks guys I will ask my doc for some
stuff. I honestly didn't think there was
anything for internal hemorroids but I
guess I was wrong. Good to know there may
be help out there.
Yeah, I would think it would be unsafe to
not use some cleaner to get out that poop.

Oh, your poor little guy!! I'm glad he
bounced back quickly though. Sometimes
things like really mess with their
confidence.
I remember one time when my stepdaughter
was still having her bowel problems. She
wasn't quite 2 years old yet and she was
on miralax to help her poo. We had given
it to her early one morning. We went to
church later and that's when the miralax
decided to work. She had the stinkest,
runiest poo that day that I think she has
ever had. (Sorry...tmi). Half of the
church could hear her and were laughing
instead of listening to the preacher.
Needless to say, we didn't give her the
miralax before going to church anymore!!!!
If she .H.A.D to have it, then we stayed
home!!!!!!
Oh, about the hemmoroids...my husband had
internal ones once before. The doctor
gave him some medicine with and applicator
type thing. I think it was called
proctofoam...or something like that. It
helped him within a couple of days. Might
consider asking the doc about it. Hope
you feel better!!!
Was
she pissy with you about it? If you do
have to hire a carpet cleaner I would
specify that only that room is to be
cleaned. No more!
