I need help with a parent. Here is the back story. I had a DCK that Monday of Last week developed a fever while here and I called for pick up and then I didn't have her Tuesday. After her fever broke it was just a cold. Well Friday of last week my own 19 month old woke up with a fever. I informed all parents and told them I would keep her on the couch away from everyone but with her being so young that is the best I could do. Well over the weekend my daughter got worse and ended up at the doctors first thing yesterday morning and has croup. Doctor says it's from a viral cold or rsv that cause the croup. The other DCK from last week just had the cold and is now 100% fine. Well another DCK showed up today with a fever. The mom walked in and said"
"well we have a small problem, ****** has a small fever. Its 103 but comes down to 100/101 with meds. You just need to give it to her every 4 hours. But Im sure its from teething because I can feel the teeth that are almost through with my finger.
I told her I could not do that and even if its from teething, a fever is a fever and explained to her refer back to our illness policy for future cases.Well her husband thinks I should take her because in his mind my kid is the one that got them sick, so if I already have the bug here then whats the problem. Im having a hard time explain this to them. What is the best way other then to refer them back to the illness policy.
