Radioactive iodine: The treatment facility should have given you detailed instructions on this. Ask them, or look through the material they gave you. A guide to exposure can be found at http://www.Thyroid.Org/radioactive-iodine/. There are certain things you can do in several days with your kids, but other things that involve more close contact (eg sleeping in the same bed) need more time.
