My son has hand foot and mouth. He has been a bit under the weather since about Thursday and the spots appeared yesterday. He is pretty much ok in himself. I spoke to NHS direct who said although it is contagious it is like a cold, very rarely serious, so i should stay open and just let the parents decide if they want their children to attend or not. He had it before and my GP gave the same advice.
One parent has said that she had read that the incubation period is 5 days and it looks very nasty so can't understand why NHS told me to stay open. She doesn't want LO to come and asked if she still has to pay.
Would it be reasonable of me to say i will only charge half fee? Because i am avaliable for work but understand why she does not want to send her.
The other parent is off work so wont be bringing LO, im pretty sure she thinks she doesnt have to pay, shall i suggest half fee to her too?
GRRRR why did he have to get ill!!!
