My daughter just started babysitting for a two year old with no CF. As most know Graycie is two and has a very hard time of it since her birth. She is still testing postive for c diff and is now on vanco until Feb. However, my concern is that recently Graycie also started getting a running nose and a cough. It is green. Sorry if to much info. we are increasing her treatments and are trying to keep her off of any antibiotics due to the c diff. Well to make a long story short the other little girl she watches started coughing and sounding like a seal or a dog and had diarria. Her mom took her to the dr and they put her on antiboitic's and said it was a viral thing and it wasn't contagious. I don't know if this dr is aware of what CF is or not. Of course my daughter and the rest of the family agrees that it is not a wise decision to keep watching her due to the precarious health that Graycie has and we don't want to have her back in the hospital if we can help it. My daughter was going to send Graycie to pre-school next year but now is rethinking this. How on earth can we send her to preschool when we can't even be at ease with just one other child with her. I know we can't put her in a bubble but it scares that crap out of us knowing that she almost died the last time she was in the hospital. Would you wait until she is older before sending her to school next year? If we count up all the time she has been in the hospital since birth it is almost a yr of her life and she's only 2. How can we send her into a class full of children that may or may not get her sick again? Sorry so long and if I sound like a raving maniac that because thats how I am feeling right now.
