Sad thing is, we'd already wrapped it up in an airtight Ziplock. She was smelling the thing through plastic. It was bad, bad, bad. For the postitive piece of this disgusting story....
We have an answer to S.A.'s diapers! Her second test showed Giardia. What a relief to treat it and know her little tummy will feel better. Her pediatrician was pleased she has gained 2 pounds, 6 ounces and grown 1/2 inch (in three weeks!). He said her gains surpass what he hopes for newborns. Since the orphanage, our girl has gained 6.6 pounds! Wow...
Today was awesome. I think she is a two-nap-a-day kind of kid. That is what we did today and it was marvelous!
Tomorrow we might visit her child-care provider for the first time. Stay tuned....

Oh, dear, sweet Crystal...do I FEEL YOUR PAIN. We had about 6 weeks of giardia STENCH in our home as well. Every now and then, Zach and I will catch a whiff of something nasty, and say something like "it's not as bad as 'Ethiopia poo' or "smells as bad as ' Ethiopia poo'. OMG. Nothing worse.
Here's to diapers that don't knock you over!!
Ugh not fair. Addis thinks its fun to be a one nap a day girl, but by 4 is so cranky and mad she is regretting her decision. I have a very very bad feeling that little miss eyerus will come home with Giardia, we have been way to lucky with the other two on the poop front.
My girls have both been treated with THREE rounds of meds for Giardia and STILL HAVE IT! I hope you'll have better luck with SA!
Oh girl! I'm so glad that you got an answer! Ava had the dreaded Giardia too. Nasty!! Poor little bellies!
Awesome about the naps!
Oh man! Well, thankfully now you know what's up and can do something about it. I hope she starts feeling better soon. Poor baby.
Good Luck!!!
Sarah
