Hello everyone I know it has been months since I have been on. Life was crazy busy with the kids and things with the other parents had been relatively calm. Until yesterday, I just don't understand biomom SD had a fever of 104 on Thursday night/friday morning at Midnight she calls us to tell us. She calls and tells us SD had a fever of 103 after school and now she has a fever of 104.3 and she has cool compresses on her and gave her med and was trying to get it down. Ok so she is doing what needs to be done we live 45 min away what does she need us to do?? So DH tells her if she needs to take her to the hospital to let him know she says no but if she decides to she will call him back. So about 1am she calls back to say the fever is coming down and she isn't taking her to the ER. Well this is our weekend to get her and I was supppose to pick her up from school. So I called her to make sure SD didn't go to school so she is like no she didn't go she is at my house with my friend Tracey I had her come over so I could come to work what the heck!! your daughter is up half the night with a high temp and you leave her with someone she barely knows! The big thing here is she didn't take her to the doctor she just pumped her full of med every 4 hours to keep the temp down. She is like when you get off work you can just pick her up there. OK that is just a little inconvient since her school is only 25 min away and her house is 45 min away and I do have 2 other children to care for. But I suck it up and went and picked her up and all was fine. My BS had a ball game so since she was acting fine and had no fever I took her with me since her dad still wasn't home from work and I had to take BS to his game. Well at the end of the game I feel her and she feels warm by the time I got her home about an hour later her fever is back up to 103.4 her dad still isn't home. I give her med and cold compress to bring it down. By the time her dad gets home she is asleep and the temp is down. Here is the big thing her doctor isn't in today, we don't have copies of her insurance information to take her somewhere else and her dad seems to think it is something that just needs to run its course. I am the dumb one here???? I mean come on no child has a fever that high for no apparent reason. Oh and she was complaining about her throat hurting last night before the temp went back up. Urhhhhh Thanks for listening I just had to vent a little

Anyway hope everyone is good and I will be checking back in regularly!!!

The only answer I have for that is that she doesn't care. She has a new baby that just turned 1 and is her world. He gets everything while SD gets nothing! Even on her myspace page she has 40 pics labled Kids out of those on 3 are of SD by herself and 2 with the baby and SD and the other 35 are of the baby. Urghhhh she can really tick me off. She doesn't care if my kids get sick they aren't hers. Oh and the baby was home sick on Friday also with hand foot and mouth, Gee guess she took him to the doctor.

Live for today,you may not have a tommorow

I am with you if a child continuously has a high temperature they must be sick. obviously this woman doesn't think that caring for her child is worth the time it would take to go to the hospital. Our BM is the same way. She only takes SD to the hospital if it fits in her schedule.
