Bathtub advice. (Respond).R VL (Oct 2001) has a 4-year-old son who has severe multiple disabilities due to complications from cystic fibrosis cystic fibrosis (sĭs`tĭk fībrō`sĭs), inherited disorder of the exocrine glands (see gland), affecting children and young people; median survival is 25 years in females and 30 years in males. . VL's child has grown too large for an infant bathtub, and his equipment is too large for the bathroom. VL wants to hear from any parents who have dealt with a similar situation and who may have creative solutions. As foster parents we have cared for a number of children that were difficult to bathe in a regular bath tub. Our solution was to use a deep laundry Laundry can be:
Before industrialization tub. They measure about 22 in. long x 17 in. wide x 13 in. deep and are made of reinforced fiber glass. They can be purchased at home improvement centers and/or plumbing plumbing, piping systems inside buildings for water supply and sewage. The Romans had a highly developed plumbing system; water was brought to Rome by aqueducts and distributed to homes in lead pipes—hence the name plumbing from the Latin word plumbum supply stores. --HM via the the EP Web site I have dealt with a similar issue; I used a small inflatable in·flat·a·ble adj. Designed to be filled with air or gas before use: an inflatable mattress. n. An object or device that can be filled with air or gas, especially: a. children's wading pool in my living room. I propped my child's head up on an inflatable toy bat. Scooping water with dish pans, I was able to shampoo shampoo a cleaning agent, usually liquid, for hair; usually consists of a detergent and perfume. Some, usually referred to as medicated shampoos, contain therapeutic substances such as parasiticides, antimicrobials, ketatolytic agents, and antiseborrheic compounds such as selenium and bathe him this way. We would then transfer him to the side on a beach towel. This worked great. --NL via the EP Web site |
