Wwyd, regarding appointment?

[immie3426]

Sorry for the stupid question, I'm questioning myself.

overnight my youngest has had a sickness bug, I have taken day off to be with her.

Eldest has a pre booked appointment at where i work, as she is in pain, can't get a after school appointment for at least 6 months, a relative has offered to take her to the appointment, but I can't decide whether this is the right decision?

What would you do?

Let the relative take her! Assuming the relative won't stay with your sick child instead.

The alternative is to leave this child in pain.

Can relative stay in house with youngest? Is youngest needing hands on care, or could relative just be in the next room? I don't think I would want a relative to attend a medical appointment with my child as I would to be there and ask questions etc.
I assume there isn't another parent around.

If possible I'd get relative to sit with youngest while you take oldest but if relative isn't keen on being exposed to sickness bug then I'd definitely ask them to take eldest, particularly if they are reliable at taking in and relating information back. If there is anything that needs your consent or if health care professional needs to speak directly to you, could they video call ( WhatsApp or similar) you from the appointment?

If the appointment is dental I would be ok with relative taking eldest. I suppose it depends what it is.
