Grrrr...Daycare Vent!!!

Houseof8

So last Friday my LO started coughing just a little.  She's had a cold/stuffy nose for the last couple of weeks so I didn't think much of it.  Over the weekend the cough got worse and by this morning I decided we better see the pedi.  While the test wasn't positive, our pedi is 99% sure LO has RSV.  So we had a nebulizer treatment and came home with recommendations to keep her home and observed until Thursday to see if she worsens.  Recalling that I had seen a nebulizer at our daycare lady's house last week, I called to ask what that child had infection-wise.  Guess what?  You've got it...RSV!!  Which is highly contagious!!!!!!  And my daycare lady never said a damn word to me and allowed the infant back in daycare the same day as the + RSV test with 3 other infants (including mine).  So now I'm off work 3 days this week and pissed at my daycare lady. 

I need a cookie...

I know in my state licensing requires contageous illness in the daycare be posted (e.g a sign up that says a child (no names used) has tested pos. for strep).

That is not okay.

I wouldn't appreciate that either.  I wouldn't want my kid sick at daycare and would expect others would stay home too.

I'd be so mad...RSV is soooo contagious, I'm surprised they allowed the baby to come in.

That would be especially itrritating to me because now you also have doctor;s bills and maybe medicine that could have been avoided.

Exactly!  3 days off work, copay, no meds yet but if LO gets worse she will be on nebulizer treatments...all because my daycare lady seems to care more about $$.
