Hi, I have been on here before and posted about one of my DCG's having a fever in the am when she woke up,Mom said she thought it was from DCG covering herself up with her blanket in her crib.That is a bunch of you know what anyway, no one gets a temp of 102.5 from covering up with a blanket. Mom kept her home, but fever broke later that morning & Mom called and wanted to bring her over & I said no.
Anyway over the weekend DCG had a temp of 104.5, so they decided to take her into the DR.....finally. Dr said that there is a bug going around here that is a high fever bug and lasts for 5-6 days. Anyway Dr told these parents that he doesn't get to concerned about a child getting a high fever until it reaches 106 and that's when the brain starts shutting down functions. Now has anyone else heard that??? That to me is ridiculous, that is a temp that is way,way to high and for a Dr to say he is not to concerned about even a temp of 104,5 is unbelievable to me. These parents also didn't seem to concerned about the temp of 104.5 as they waited that long to take her in. Is it just me that thinks that a temp like that is too high or are parents not taking these things seriously.
Also same parents bring DCG here today with flip flops on, that are way too big and fall of her feet and Grandma is picking her up this am to take her to her gym class,....wrong shoes for a gym class!
Don't parents think before they dress and what kind of day they are going to have?
I just don't understand parents of today! Sorry to complain, but no one seems to use common sense anymore!
