Normally I don't worry about this, if it gets peed in I wash it, not a big deal. I have even left them in it when it was still wet and just put a thin blanket between them and the cover. Even when they've had blowouts I just wash it, not a big deal.
However, my girls have C Diff AND a staph infection.
Regent got pooped in today, (diarreah) soaked the harness, the buckle, the belly pad and the cover. I washed the cover twice already, probably will a couple more times before I feel it is clean.
I am getting a new harness and buckle as there is no way I could ever clean it well enough to feel comfortable while still being safe.
I just wondered what I can put either underneath the kid, or in between the cover and the seat so we don't have to worry about this next time? We were lucky this time that I got her out before it soaked down into the foam, otherwise that would have to go too.
We may even end up having to toss the cover along with the clothes depending on how hard this is to get rid of. Last time they had C Diff we ended up having to toss everything they pooped on. We just couldn't get it to go away.
Totally a lose lose situation. The antibiotics for the staph infection are going to make the diarreah worse. So they are on acidophilus, yogurt twice a day and Culterelle hoping to get that under control. They can not have Immodium because their GI tracts are too sensitive, no matter how low the dose they just get immediatly constipated. So we are doing lots of bananas, ect.
C Diff or a staph infection alone has put them in the hospital before...they have never had them both at the same time. If there is any chance that we haven't killed it on the carseat cover it's going to have to go. Ali's immune system just isn't strong enough right now to take any chances.
We are going to try Advil everyday for two weeks for the headaches. Hoping it's migraines and that will break the cycle. If that doesn't work they are doing an MRI right after Thanksgiving. I asked to do this first because she is so sick right now, the last thing we need is to have her in the hospital and get something else.
Any ideas on bleach strength things I can use on colors? I am thinking Clorox for Colors... should that be strong enough?
Bleach is about the only thing strong enough to kill either one... they even resort to having you put bleach in the bath water if you can't kill the staph. Yuck...
Thanks in advance.
