Subject: Re: temperature procedure Author: Brendon [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Tuesday, December 28, 2010, 09:14: pm In reply to: MikeyK 's message, "Re: temperature procedure" on Tuesday, December 28, 2010, 08:40: pm Funny, because when I was growing up "the other way" was the mouth when you were a child. When I was told I was going to have my temp taken, it was just automatically assumed it was going in my bottom up through age 8, which was about the normal age to switch to oral, though some offices or moms went later. My mom's "child and infant care" book recommended rectal readings throughout a child's life, and other methods were listed second and third. And this was all in the late '70s and early '80s. The doctor's office switched me to oral at age 9, and I don't remember how old I was at home, probably about the same. I had one "last hurrah" with rectal at the doctor at age 12.

I was a smallish kid 5'4" and 105 until I was 13 up until I was 9 the usual procedure for for mom to bring me into her bedroom holding a towel, the RT and the waseline jar. Mom would sit down on her vanity bench and put the towel over her lap. I had to take off my pajama bottoms and lay down on her lap. I felt her fingers seperating my cheeks and the RT go in. Laid there for a few minutes. Mom was silent but she would carass my back to calm me. After I was 9, Mom came into my bedroom, tell me to get out of bed, pull the covers down and lay a towel on the bed I had to take my pajamasbottoms off and lay on my stomach. After sh put in the RT, mom would sit by my side on the bed. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
