so glad my sitter called me to tell me DS had a temp of 100.9 but I wasnt happy that I had to come get him to take him to the doctor. She thought he needed to be picked up and may still have an ear infection. Picked him up and he seemed a little crabby and had a runny nose/sneezing but to me that just means a cold. I took him to the dr. anyways to make sure his ears were fine and the ears are good. Dr. said probably just a cold virus - teething and that he should be fine.......joy!!! So I hope DS feels better by Saturday for his party but a little annoyed that I really had to come pick him up from the sitter for that low of a temp!!
She told me a 100.5 is considered a fever and the child has to be picked up and needs to be fever free for 24 hours before coming back. I'll take his temp later tonight but I really think that's a really really low temp?!? Am I overreacting?? I dont want the other kids sick but I just feel like she may jump the gun sometimes?
Re: Dont get me wrong...
I guess ...boo!!! plus she always wants to add a degree!!!
Like Lauren said, everyone has their own policies.
Personally, I would probably prefer a more conservative center so that other kids who might have a slight fever don't get Andrew sick. In turn, that would require picking him up more often, but, that's the trade-off. Of course, I absolutely hate being sick, and I'd rather go out of my way to prevent him from being sick!
