You have an immune compromised child in your care with other healthy kids. Send home a memo, ask that it be FWDed to the kids MD's (If they are in your contacts, send it on to the MDs). Everyone should be on the look out to reduce exposure for this child.
The Immune compromised child is not safe anywhere during RSV season.

That child should be taking preventative treatment, and if it is deemed unsafe for that child, that child should be in a private care situation.
You need to protect everyone, and you can't send all your other kids home for a week over every illness.
I would not term, or ignore a return to care note from a MD who was informed of the situation.
I Would inform icdck's parents immediately.
No one is saying she should term over the illness, it is the fact that dcm LIED to her about something so serious that has everyone up in arms.
