Daycare dilema
Ok so I have been stressing out a little over daycare lately. So Carter is suppose to be in the best place ever when we are at work. Well I really felt that he was in the best place ever. I understand that children get sick, and lazy people just send their sick kids to daycare when they are not the healthiest. And that in turn creates a multiple affect on other children.
Carter was picked up Monday and "was not himself all day". Oh well fine, we got home and he had a fever of 102. So pushed the Tylenol and got the fever to come down. Tuesday he just seemed to be a little better but still had a fever so we decided to keep him home another day because I would rather give him more time to get better. So come 10 am he was back to his monster ways, and into everything. So fine we sent him on Wednesday, and when I went to pick him up they had two illnesses going around daycare.
First was on July 17Th pneumonia went around, and we were spared cause he wasn't there that day. Then on July 18Th Hand Food and Mouth Disease went around. So whatever I didn't think anything of it. I also found out that he was bitten by a girl again on Wednesday. We went to Mankato to get a new phone for myself because Carters spit and my phone didn't mix. So we had to go to Target and get a few things, I changed his diaper and noticed a blister on his hand.....thought back and figured he just got HFMD.
Jeremy took him to the doctor today for a check up on his lungs and ears, and he does have HFMD. Great right.....well sure it means that someone has to stay home with him. I guess I am more upset because people are stupid and can't just stay home with their children when they are sick so that other children don't get sick.
So I had to stop and pay daycare today, and also give our two weeks notice because of their rate increase, and the fact that we only need part time daycare, we have found a new daycare provider. Not liking the fact that we have to switch, but a savings of 60 dollars a week is a great thing when it comes to daycare costs. I just feel so bad because Jennifer knows Carter sometimes better than we know Carter so I am going to be sad that she doesn't get to teach him new things, but she understood or I hope she did.
So now that I have all that off my chest...I feel just much better.
