a bat bit my daughter



Recommended Posts

Goodness, as a mother and a preschool teacher, I can definitely say that your story is terrifying! I hate that your little girl is going to have to have the shots, but you are definitely doing the right thing! I just admire you for keeping your cool! I would've probably freaked out and made things a lot worse for everybody. Please let us know how your daughter is doing, and what your husband finds at the daycare.

Roni they will have to notify the State Health Department and that will definitely get an investigation rolling. Myra

As a mother, I can imagine how scared you are! Glad you're being pro-active and getting the treatment right away. Let us know if your hubby finds anything. The idea of getting a photo of bat poop for him to look for is a great idea too.

Keep us posted.

I bet you have alrealdy gone to the ER. I hope you can disassociate these shots from what happened with the "birdie". It would be sad if she became terrified of birds that happen to flly around her. Perhaps you can say that Its always a good idea to get a physical check up when you turn a certain age as a matter of good health or something like that. and This time it turned out to be her turn to get another vaccination or something like that. You know your daughter best. Some children are better off with a matter of fact, you have a suspicious cut and the bird may have caused it so we are going to check it out. Others need more creatilve explanations. OH oH my liptop is spazzing

I'm sorry for the way I cut our earlier, my laptop crashed bad!!! But for your little sweetie, I'm praying that this will all fade from her memory and the only memory from this will be that something happened and my mom and dad took real good care of me.

Bless her heart, so precious to articulate all the info, he scooted away, and he had ears and all. So observant and attention to all those details!! You have a very smart baby there!! Bless you too, hope you aren't too shaken, Its like a mom to be fully in charge and then when all the danger has passed, thats when mommies fall apart! Were here for you if that should happen too OK? Hope to hear soon!!

ok everyone...all i can say is PHEWWWWWW!!

after hanna slept on all of this, we took her to the daycare this morning and found out that yesterday she kept approaching the bird cage..a dark gray cockatiel maybe(?) I don't know what kind of bird it is, but she kept getting introuble. well, the teacher said that hanna and another little girl put their fingers in the cage and the bird bit hanna. the teacher snapped at hanna, and hanna cried. this was the first time hanna has ever been in trouble at school. and it just happens that they read a book about bats a few days ago...go figure...

i am really grateful for all of your prayers and well wishing. maybe it was your prayers that helped us to get this resolved before my baby had to endure those shots.

thank goodness this was a false alarm, but i really got a quick education in this area.

YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

False Alarms are the best. Now you can pick your heart up off the floor.

I have a huge grin on my face and can't tell you how glad I am for you and Hanna.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
