Green Poopies!

Sam and I had another visit to the Dr's today. We went on Monday because he has been having GREEN DIAHRREA! We got an order for stool cultures, and then we were on our way to the hospital to collect the official containers. Once there, trying to being effiicient and not wanting to drag the baby out again, I sat and fed him thinking that he could make a deposit and I could make a collection right there. Well, of course now there was no poop to be delivered and Sam was wanting to sleep since he was full of the momma cow's lunch specialty.

On our way home, he started to crying...of course, most likely (I thought) from a poop. So, I pulled over at the park to make the collection before we got any further away from the hospital. No poopie...but he was hungry AGAIN! So, I fed him...again....and then I hit pay dirt. While I was trying to collect the poopie in this little container....I see the directions on the side of the specimen container. It says, "Fill will sample to above line." Well, the above line was a total of 5 mls. This might not seem like much, but when you are trying to collect watery poop from a DIAPER that sucks away all the liquid, this proves to be difficult.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to make this collection? We are open to any advice on the issue! :>)
