update below - here we go again - DD mystery illness

hbrockman01

Once again DD has had fever and rash. Doctor appointment this morning but when I called last night they actually suggested I take her to the hospital. I can't stand this. I know school is good for her but this did start until she started school. What's most bothersome is where. You touch her legs she screams.

I'm at a loss as to where to go or what to do! And to make matters worse I think I'm walking on a very thin thread with my job!

I'm so sorry! Many prayers that you get answers asap and she feels better!

poor thing. I hope you all get it figured out soon

So sorry to hear that. FX that she's good as new soon.

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear this. I really hope that everything is fine, and she just happened to pick up another bug quickly. It always seems that once Emmett gets sick, its just a constant cycle of one thing after another for awhile.

I'm sure that your job will be understanding. The health of your child has to come before everything else!

I'm so sorry. I hope they figure this out soon.

I agree with @Kelseyhh, the sickness domino effect is evil!! Does your employer have the option of taking intermittent FML to care for your DD as needed?

I am so sorry. I hope you figure out what is wrong. Sending lots of T&Ps.

Ugh, I'm so sorry. I would be so stressed and upset. I hope things get better very soon. Hugs!

I am so sorry. I know the question had been asked, but do you qualify for intermittent FMLA leave? If so, I would recommend starting the paperwork as soon as you can. That would give you job security and the time to take care of your DD.
Sending prayers your way.

So sorry you're going through this (again). Hope they can figure it out and LO is feeling better soon!  I was going to ask about FMLA too.  If your company qualifies it should protect your job if you have to take time off to care for a sick family member (even if the time off is unpaid).

FMLA paperwork has been started. They are saying this is still lingering from before and that it could take a few weeks to be completely gone.

Now I just have to deal with her crankiness... I'm so exhausted!

Sorry she is still unwell. Hope you can both get some rest soon!
