Sickness
Katie87 - 04:15am Jan 26, 2012 EST
Hello Everyone- I was just telling my husband I was having withdrawal from visiting the website as I have not had time to log on this week. I have a question and I guess I'm asking for opinions and advice as to how you guys would or have handled this. I visit my parents often and stay the night a lot as I miss them like crazy for one and they help a lot with my daughter as well. My mom is a clean freak and each time we come over she wipes down and sprays down the house as precaution. Both of my parent's work in offices so they are out in public each day. My father recently well I guess it was last wednesday or thursday came down with a head cold that then turned into a sinus infection. He went to the doctor this past monday and is on antibiotics and feeling much better. Mom(knock on wood) is not sick and I believe slept in another room as precaution for a couple of days. We are visiting the pediatrician tomorrow for a weight check so I plan on asking him as well but how long should I keep away from them? I don't want to put Emma Kate in any danger at all but at the same time I really would like to spend the night friday and spend the day with them saturday as my husband will be working. My mom said they would air out the place and of course spray and wipe down everything and even wear masks whenever it was safe to visit again. This is something I told my mom would be inevitable as we always seem to get a cold virus and at least with my dad and I it turns into a sinus infection. We take every proper precaution but we are all human and cannot live in bubbles. Mom and I have been skyping as she has a hard time not seeing Emma Kate. None of us want to put her in any kind of danger. Oh and she has had two synagis shots so far if that makes a difference. Anyway; what do you guys think?
