Even if it is the flu, fever for 12 days is not normal. Definitely stick to your guns! My contract says I will not accept Dr notes for returning to care if it goes against my illness policy (which means I would still not accept her back if she was still running a fever, regardless of a Dr note to clear her). I am sure the parents are frustrated though... that's a lot of missed work!
I hope the Dr is able to find out what is wrong and get her better! Keep us posted!
This is a really good dcm, always comes right at 8:30 and always picks up at 3:20-3:25, always pays on time and if she takes a day off work, she keeps her children at home. She has missed some days the last couple of weeks. And poor thing only works 30 hours a week and is struggling. I love her and the children so much!! The children are excellent children!
Thank you and I will keep you posted!
