Sharyn - Re: Question for Ian

[Guest guest]

Hi, Sharyn -

I know you know I'm not Ian, but until he returns to his office on Monday, I'll

give you my 2 cents.

I don't think anyone would blame you for being concerned, but I don't believe

you have anything to worry about.

By almost all accounts, a week after a scan dose is considered safe enough to

retract all precautions.

I'd say your daughter is absolutely fine, even if your friend drooled all over

her ;-)
