hooray! lice paperwork sent home!!!
she was checked by the nurse and so far she's clean, so yippee. we had "the talk" with grace about sharing hats and playing with people's hair and all that. then i told her that not only has she had it but she gave it to me, so don't make fun of whomever has it.
blech.
proof that i make babies. jack, grace, and ben, in no particular order
Re: hooray! lice paperwork sent home!!!
yuck. i was told to keep Ava's hair in pony or pig tails as often as i could and to not wash it every day - apparently lice like free flowing clean hair/scalps.
hope it stays away from your home!
grace's hair is too short for a ponytail and boy, is it ever "free flowing"!!! lol.

Well when Teagan had it I needed to get a note from the ped saying she was nit free and the ped was telling me how that is just not necessary and nearly impossible to guarentee. If they did a treatment, bagged things as needed, and do another treatment in a week (or 2 I forget?) like you are suppose to do then it's fine. We still needed the 2nd treatment to totally get rid of it even though I picked through her hair like crazy because my hair was so difficult for DH and some nits got missed of course. No one else in her class got it.
So letting the kid back anytime before the 2nd treatment is the same risk no matter how well you think they've been checked.

If the kid had 1 nit left after the treatment, it wouldn't hatch for around a week anyway. This is why a 2nd treatment is done in 10-14 days. Because the nit would be live by that time but not mature enough to lay eggs.
What are they supposed to do? Keep kids out for the full 2 weeks?
Yes, dealing with lice is a pain in the a$$ but there are a lot worse things that kids could be passing around.
this. when grace had it the first time (which she got from her class but we were never told about it being there) i told them, did the treatment, kept her home a day and sent her back in. the second time she got it (again from school and again, no note) i was so pissed i didn't bother telling them. no one ever told me about it so i said f*ck it.
