Ronnie's First Case of Lice.... November 2011

Ah - the joys of school....  Ronnie's daycare notified us a week prior that there was a reported case of lice in his High Five room.  We checked Ronnie over, as did they, and he was lice-free.  On Thursday, when Doug brought Ronnie in for a haircut, the lady at Super Cuts told Doug that he (Ronnie) had lice.  We bought the requisite $94 worth of RID medication and began the treatment process.  Believing in an old wive's tale, Lauri also doused his head with vinegar and wrapped him up in Saran Wrap for an hour.  Doug stayed with him the next day and did another treatment.  Let me just say that we did not find any of the lice through the entire process....  Lauri has an appointment with the MN Lice Lady on Monday - she will do a check of his head, and will do her process for getting rid of the lice in one treatment if she finds any.  Ronnie has been a trooper as we inspect his head, run through his hair with that tiny comb, and put nasty smelling stuff in his hair.  Let's hope it works.  He's been through enough this school year!
