Ok, LO aged 9 months had one loose poo end of last week but nothing else and seemd fine in himself.
Monday he didnt come as mum said he had had a temp since the night before and she was trying to get him to the Drs.
I didnt work yesterday as I had a hospital appt.
LO came today and Mum said Dr had said he had a virus and was on antibiotics. I took him in. Anyway, within the first 3 hours he had had 3 diarrhoea poos. Mum called mid morning and asked how he was and I said about the diarrhoea and that he had refused his milk etc. She said she would come and pick him up early.
Anyway, when she came to pick him up, I said that I couldnt have him for the rest of the week due to the risk of it spreading. She seemed fine with this. She mentioned about him being off his food and having diarrhoea so I would imagine he has been like this for the last few days. :angry: The fact that she came back so readily shows she is obviously concerned. She is taking him to the Dr again later and I said call me after that to let me know whats going on.
But my question is - how long can you expect a case of diarrhoea to go on for? And do I refuse to have him all that time and yet still expect to get paid? I am not very strong when it comes to money!!:blush:
Thanks
