This is a f/u to my other post.
We've been back and forth between the pediatrician's office and the hospital for the last 2 days. Yesterday they suspected pertussis and the labs came back today. She has pertussis. They said the most at risk are babies under 12 months who haven't been vaccinated. Since we've been vaccinating on schedule, they are not nearly as concerned. They say it will likely be much more mild. DH and I both have asthma so that is a concern but right now she is home and starting medicine.
MIL called DH blubbering and crying about how she still wants to babysit on Monday (moving day). If he hadn't been in the backseat with DD while I was driving, I would have ripped the damn phone out of his hand and thrown it out the window. I don't care how much of this is or isn't her fault, I'm still livid. She seriously fucked up and DD is sick, I don't have time for her self-pity.

I DD'd this part just in case. Don't want to make the situation any worse.
Re: Give me your thoughts (more venting)
@quesyrah We didn't really just up and leave... they were there when we were trying to get our flights changed and we were pretty panicked the whole time. I thought it was pretty obvious we would leave right away.
So I guess it does seem kind of weird. I guess I am just annoyed that they are friends and they're bitching about something stupid while DD is sick and haven't asked about her at all.
I'm really sorry about your DD though. My DD has para-pertussis right now, which is basically just the coughing, and that's bad enough. I never want to have to deal with full-blown pertussis. I hope she feels better soon.
@roses&65335678 I do think going back there during the flight would've been the best idea, but again, with how mad and worried you were, I don't blame how everything went down. I would just explain it to your friend (s) and tell them everything, and that you didn't mean to be rude you were just really worried and angry. If they have a problem with that, then tough shit.
I could have texted or walked back there. Honestly, I just didn't think about it. He's DH's best friend... I just thought they'd "get" it.
Thanks for the responses everyone. @magentawarped It is awful. I hope your DD is okay and gws.
Do they have kids? because before kids I would have zero clue what that meant and would assume it was a cough and NBD.
This is what I was wondering.
Is it possible that they have something going on, and that's why they aren't returning calls/texts...? Maybe it isn't a case of "butthurt."
ETA: Because I left stuff out.
It totally sucks your little one is sick and I hope she gets better asap
@Usm123 brings up a good point though. It's easy to let friendships fizzle. You guys are close enough to talk every day and make them your god parents, so I would just call and try to talk it out. If they're still being unreasonable, then fawk them.
ETA: I'm going to DD the OP just in case.
I'm sorry they're being this way to ya'll. I'd be upset too
