Yesterday, DCdad drops off kid and mentions she has a bit of a runny nose. Well 10 minutes later her nose is running like a faucet, and she is sneezing and snot is going everywhere. Well i was wiping her nose, swear to you, every 10 min. It was clear so i took a wait and see approach. She seemed kind of 'out of it' by mid morning- tired and quiet and just not herself. We went for a walk and cried or moped all the way to Tim Hortons and back (15 min walk both ways with the littles) because she wanted to sit in the stroller, she was tired, her legs hurt, etc. I have a sit and stand with an 18 mo old, her (3 y.o) and an almost 4 yr old so i had the 2 older ones take turns sitting. She was a touch warm but didn't register a fever and her cheeks were flushed. she barely touched her lunch and cried because she wanted to go to bed. I put her down for her nap and she woke after an hour and she had 100.5 fever. I text dad to tell him and she fell asleep again, so he came to get her after nap time.
He texted me last night to tell me she doesn't have a fever. I know what he is getting at, he wants to bring her back today. I told him to tell me how she is in the morning because if she isn't well then she should stay home. This morning, he says she has no fever, no runny nose and happy. Then sends me a picture of his thermometer with a temp of 94.7 (odd, isn't that low?- last time that happened to me, my thermo was broken and had to get a new one. good thing i did because my kid actually HAD a 103.6 F fever) Anyhow her temp registered 98.5 on my thermo. Then he tells me that he might have to stop by around 11 to give her more medicine. :ohmy: :blink: I told him if she is sick and needs meds to keep a fever down then she needs to stay home and reminded him of sick policy and dose and drop. He says the meds are homeopathic for her runny nose and congestion....i told him i will monitor her closely but if her temp goes up or if she is not well like yesterday, then i will get in touch and she has to go home.
Grrr seriously. I hate when people push their luck, and i hate when parents do that to DCP's. They know the rules yet still try to 'run one by' on us. They know the policies, they get a new handbook ever year!
