What a week!!

We're sitting here wondering why we're bothering with Daycare.

Monday - Alex got a fever, we were called at about 2pm, but he was given panadol and was able to stay until the end of the day.

Tuesday - Alex had had a fever all night, so Mum stayed home with him. By night-time the fever had gone.

Wednesday - Alex was fine in the morning so we took him to daycare. We got a call in the afternoon again - he had another fever.

Thursday - We decided that maybe there was more to the fever than teething so took Alex to the Dr. His appointment was at 8.15am and she could find nothing wrong so Duncan took him to daycare. He was turned away on the doorstep - even though we'd just been to the Dr, they wouldn't accept him so Dad had to stay home. They had a great day - no problems.

Friday - Alex had a bad night - lots of painful crying so Duncan decided to stay home with him again. They had another good day.

That means after being back at work for five weeks - we've used five of our fourteen days available for looking after Alex. All our other sick leave will have to be certified and if we need more days for Alex, we'll have to take Annual Leave or Leave without Pay.

You can't really see anything - but there are definitely teeth coming - four on the top!
