5. Pooped Out for Christmas
Traveling with children can be a challenge, especially if it’s a toddler who’s in the midst of potty training. One reader told us of a Christmas trip from San Francisco, CA, to Milwaukee, WI, when explosive diarrhea hit twice before takeoff.
“You don’t really know fear until you know your toddler can erupt at any moment and you have only one diaper and no extra clothes,” the beleaguered parent recounted. The chaos persisted even after the parents had bought diapers during a stopover in Minneapolis and had changed the little one.
“Our son choked on a biscuit while we were sitting in the food court and ended up vomiting all over his new pants, so I had to take them to the bathroom and wash them with water and soap. Finally, I had to dry them under the hand dryer”.
