I understand that daycares have policies and protocols to follow such as: if a child is coughing then it may mean they have a cold and should be sent to see a doctor in case they are contagious.... well my girls cough a lot and sometimes to the point where they sound like they are choking. DH and I are used to as we know it is just part of CF and we have tried time and time again to the tell the daycare that is normal and they are NOT contagious and stuff.
Yesterday was the icing on the cake. Last week I had Kiana at the doctors with quick breathing and green mucus and I was worried she got the bug Alysa was just getting over (they both have CF) and an xray showed that there was some blotchyness and gave us antibiotics and told us she is fine, just to keep the team posted if she gets worse. She was fine to go to daycare and blah blah blah.
So yesterday I drop them off and tell them about the xray cause they asked and emphasized that SHE IS FINE TO BE HERE and went to work. I am barely in the door when my phone is ringing and it is daycare calling to say "Kiana is having trouble swollowing, she is coughing a lot and I thought she was choking and now her lips are blue" Blue? Blue you say? That's new so off I go worried what I would find when I arrived.
I found Kiana in the hallway being held by one of the workers crying. I grab her and check her over, no blue, no cough and I go home to keep an eye on her after being told that "since she is on antibiotics and coughing and stuff we would like you to keep her home until Wednesday" okay fine... great.. two days off work and two days of daycare bills lovely... but my baby girl is more important and I contemplated taking her into the hospital but thought I would wait as she seemed okay.
I gave her a bottle (so much for having trouble swollowing) and laid her down for a nap. She slept for 4 hours! Nice day off for me lol because DH was sleeping as well (he works nights). Kiana was fine, she is fine and there was nothing wrong with her and I am starting to wonder if her lips actually were in fact blue or if they made that up, ya know? This isnt the first time I have had to go get her and missing work for pretty much no reason. They just dont get it!
My question and so sorry this is long is how do you handle your kiddos daycare? Did you ask someone from their team to come in and tell them "ths is normal and this is when you should be concerned" and stuff or did you bring in a reading material for them to check out. I understand CF is new to them and I am sure it is scary.. I still get scared with them sometimes and I see it everyday!
I just cant keep missing work (Kiana is home with Daddy today)
Thanks for the help.
