Today's Update

Well Andrea went to see dr m yesterday with Gustavo and the verdict is:

She has a mix of asthma and a cold right now.. unfortunately children with asthma are a lot more prone to getting sick since the respirtory system is already weak. So she will be going back to see him tomorrow to make sure she's getting better and if shes not then he's going to prescribe an antibiotic so we aren't stuck over the weekend having to end up in the hospital :(

He also went on to tell my husband that we "need to accept the fact that she's just not ready for school yet" that was interesting to hear... makes me feel pretty helpless.

He also gave us a blood panel form to test her for common allergies to things like dairy wheat eggs fish nuts etc...

originally he told us that he doesnt advise that bloodwork until the child is closer to the age of two but being that andrea is sick more than she is well he advised to get it as soon as possible.

Today i sent her to school but picked her up around 12:30 when i picked her up i asked her teacher how she was feeling and she told me she had been coughing... at that point i went to the director and asked if she had been nebulized today since her teacher told me she was coughing... the directors eyes widened and told me that she hadn't nebulized her but she had come in late this morning and she would find out if the assistant director had.... entirely out of patience by this point i pretty bluntly said "so basically she had an asthma attack and wasn't nebulized... i dont know what else to do for you people i explain to all the teachers each day how important this is and they simply are ignoring me"... the director told me that she would work hard to double and triple check on andrea throughout the day ... but its more than that... at this point how am i supposed to know that shes getting the care that she needs... i talk to the teachers and the director on a daily basis letting them know the symptoms and what to be on the look out for... seriously this is rediculous... further more i was calling each day this week to check on her and the director told me she was fine... today i didn't call but come to find out i probably should have.... ughhhhh

im tired...
