After he started crying from my reaction I started laughing. It was funny but I was worried we'd have to redo our bathroom before selling because he got it on the cabinets, the tile, the bath. Ughhhh. But with a little clorox we fixed the problem except for the rug, but that's ok.Luckily this was the first night this week Chris was coming home for dinner. I called him and asked him where he was. He had just gotten off the train and I told him to hurry home. He wanted to bathe Spencer but I said let's just eat and soon the purple spread to his mouth. We then bathed him:)
What is it? Gentian Violet. Yesterday was my last day of applying this penetrating, stain medicine to Miles mouth in hopes of getting rid of thrush. All I can say for that is ouch! I hope I heal soon too! Below is a (fuzzy) picture of my purple mouth boy. He started smiling at 6 weeks (now he's almost 8 weeks!) and this is the only picture I've been able to get to capture it.

oh dear! both of my kids had thrush and I second the ouch statement! just for the future, there is a medication that works great that has no stain involved, it fixed both of my kiddos quickly, make your Dr. give you that one!
I hope you both feel better soon! That is a serious purple color!!
Spencer has a serious case of need for a tooth brush.
Why would they make a medicine purple. These pharmacists must not have children.
Oh Marjorie, I can totally empathize with you. Thrush is awful and so is the gentian violet. I sooo hope everything has cleared up!
