what would you do?? fml.

I just picked up Rylee from daycare, and she informed me that her daughter has been diagnosed with H1N1. She has had flu like symptoms since Saturday. Public health said that her daycare didnt need to be shut down because the kids at the daycare have already been exposed.
Rylee is perfectly fine, no fever , no vomiting, nothing. She also hasn't had any flu vaccinations yet because they were out by the time I called until November 1st, although we wont be getting her the H1N1 vaccine.

I'm debating whether I should continue to send Rylee to daycare since shes already been exposed, or if I should keep her home. I just dont know what the hell we're going to do, we have NO ONE else to watch Rylee, and I'm booked with appointments at work, and Jessy can't take more than a day or two off and thats it.

I'm going to call her doctor and ask as well, I'm just wondering what you guys think.

If she's been exposed, and hasn't got sick yet, maybe her immune system is strong enough to fight it off?

tough call, but as long as she is not symptomatic, i would send her.

a girl i know.. has the flu and they said she needed to be quarentined for 7 days

Have her tested at the pedi's office.

Quoting Raegan's Momma:“ a girl i know.. has the flu and they said she needed to be quarentined for 7 days”

she is quarintined in her room upstairs, where Rylee never goes. Jacque spent the whole day cleaning the downstairs with bleach and lysol.

Quoting Mrs. Mendez:“ If she's been exposed, and hasn't got sick yet, maybe her immune system is strong enough to fight it off?

I hope so. I feel like a shitty parent for even thinking twice about sending her because of work.

I understand. To be honest, I have no idea what I would do in that situation. It's a tough decision.

I called her pedi and am waiting for a call back.
This is such a shitty situation, I dont want Rylee to get sick at all, but I do need to keep my job as well, and I dont know how understanding my job would be when Rylee isn't sick.

&& how long would I even keep her home for ?
