He showed up today and DCM said he STILL is not having normal BM's! She said it is more like coffee grounds and not diaharrea, although they never called what was going on with him last week diaharrea either.
I accepted him into care today, but now I am having second thoughts. I suppose I will wait and see if he has more diaharrea today? I am trying my best to be really nice here but I can't lie- two weeks can't come fast enough!
Coffee grounds in vomit or a bowel movement is usually curtled old blood. I would not be humming and hawing over what to do here as baby needs to go to the dr ASAP. I'm so worried about the little guy and your liability if he were to become violently ill while in your care. You know he is sick. Call for pick up. At this point too I'd call CPS and report if you don't hear they have taken him to the Dr. He needs to be seen.
The nonpayment is just the icing on the cake for me. I dont envy this situation at all.
