Adult oral thrush-contagious?

My MIL watches DS half the week and informed me last night that she has oral thrush. I have a call into dr office but wanted to know if anyone has any experience in this.. She is scheduled to watch him Wed-Friday.

Thanks ahead of time..

    I would think only if she french kisses him or puts his pacis or bottles in her mouth.  I'd be more worried about what has shut down her immune system.  Adults don't often get oral thrush unless they have AIDS or are going through chemo or something else has attacked their immune system.
    I give up trying to get a ticker.  I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome.  Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself.  Hmmm.  How about...

    Thanks for responding. Dr office just called and said the same thing. I had a nice convo and laugh with her. I swear MIL just wants to get out of watching DS and it bothers me. I can't convince DH that his mom is in over her head..

    Last week she went for a chest Xray and swore she had pneumonia- this week it's thrush.. Lord- help me! WHAT's Next????
