CM CLUB: Mindee's with colds/snotty noses/sneezes and sick??

[StrawberryMoon]

nose running like a tap, never stopped sneezing since 8.30(really!) and just been sick(mainly the fruit juice she drank, but still sick), temp 35.1 ..should i conytact her mum?

oh yes. Any vomiting is not good.

even if it just seemed like fruit juice?...i suppose she was still sick tho??

shes sneezing like a few times every minute???
and snots flying all over despite my efforts to catch it!

i dont think the poor childs well!?
and i dont want dd like this!

am i over reacting???
it is just a bit of snot and sick?

I think you should get in touch with her mum - she really doesn't sound well.

i had a little girl who had been sick this morning come to me for before school care
(mum didnt say about the sick) anyway she threw up again about 8am so i phoned mum
i am still waiting for mum to arrive says she cant get out of work
i had the morning off this morning and planned to do something but now am stuck at home with a sick child

yeah i cant imagine this sneezing n snot came on 'just' as she came to me???
she is also coughing lots now(maybe flegm(sp))
tried to ring her mum, but shes at hosp today(visiting for course) so although phone was on she didnt answer??
what to do!

i hasten to add the child is actually here with me!..i have not left her while im playing on the puter!!!

runny noses & sneezing I'll put up with - but sick is something different. I had one child arrive and be sick after eating 5 bowls of custard for breakfast at home. I called mum to collect as I couldn't prove he wasn't a risk to the other mindies.

Even if there are no other mindies present you have to protect yourself - if you get sick there's loss of income & having to tell all the parents they've got no childminder for a day/week.

have u no more contacts for the child
can anybody else pick the child up

i have two other contacts but they are about 40 minutes drive away as theyre not from round here.

managed to get in touch with her mum, who came as soon as the bus would carry her..took child with me to collect dd and asked adv of other cm there, she said she should go home so i did right

walked around park trying to help her sleep after mum asked me to give her 5 ml of calpol, but she wouldnt drop off..she looked so unwell bless her, but mum said she did sneeze a few times this morning but nothing else??

so hopefully she will have some rest this weekend and be better by next week!

felt awful telling the mum to come home but like youve all said i can t risk my dd or myself!

oh so thats why you have finished work so early
i finish at 6.30pm today but my boys are going to their nanas at 4pm for the weekend and dh is still in Ireland working, so having my 5 mth old niece for the night (picked her up at 10am today) so my sister can have some rest
my niece is very ill and only has months left to live so i'm trying to make my sisters life easier

oh my DMO..poor little lamb
ive sure shell be very happy spending time with her fave aunty

sending a big cuddle for herand her mummy/parents.
