Unbelievable!!! GRRRRRR
My 6mo dcg has had low grade fevers, been extremely fussy, snotty and coughing. I called the parents Thursday to come get her because she was sick. The next day they decided to keep her home. Later that day they asked if they could bring her over so they could get some stuff done. I said no because she had a fever not even 24 hours before.
Monday she arrives in the same state. Fever, snot, fussy, and coughing. I call the parents again and have her picked up. Dcm finally decides that 4 days of symptoms deserves a doctors appointment so she makes the appointment for Tuesday (yesterday) but not until later morning.
She calls Tuesday morning and says dcg had a great night and awoke happy and much better. So she says she thinks she will cancel the appointment and bring her over. As soon as dcg arrives she is screaming with all the previously listed symptoms and I tell her I would keep the appointment. She says she will take her to the appointment but might have to bring her back afterwards so she can get some work done. I say ok, since you're going to the doctor just bring back a note from him stating what she has in writing and that she's not contagious. As it is we have all been exposed already so that's the only way she can come back!
After the appointment she calls and says that dcg has two ear infections and allergies. She asks if she can bring her back and I simply tell her yes, but if she is overly fussy I'll have to call you because caring for her in that state takes away from all the other kids and that's not fair.
She got to my house in tears saying that I upset her by saying that!! What was wrong with what I said?!?! She also informs me that she opted out of any antibiotics or pain meds for dcg because she feels they are "over prescribed". So dcg is still in pain and not feeling good.
There is a looooong story behind this woman and I have bent over backwards to accommodate the high maintenance needs of her and her family (my fault I know), is there anyone out there that would have done differently and either just watched the fussy sick baby, or told her to go home and take care of her sick baby.

I try natural remedies for lots of stuff my kids come down with... I would NEVER let them suffer.
I already emailed my Doc and he called me in a Z-pak....
