Yo Mama ...doesn't have the sense to keep you home when you sick.

I'm pissed.
Katiekins isn't the type of kid to have a full social calendar.
She can take it or leave it and sometimes will refuse to pick up a call from a friend cause she would rather hang out at home. Yeah, rather odd.
Last weekend was the exception. The girl attended a sleepover birthday party on Friday night, went to the movies on Saturday then over to a friends house to hang on Sunday.
Last night ,she woke up in the middle of the night with a nasty infection complete with high fever and sore throat. One trip to the medical centre confirmed it was an ear infection and if "it" wasn't an ear infection the antibiotics should kill the offensive bacteria. Er... not a comforting diagnosis in the least.
We heard via the grapevine,this bug starts off as a throat/ear infection and travels down to the lungs to settle in as pneumonia if not treated quickly. Niiiice.

We asked Katie if any of the girls at the sleepover had cold/flu , and she mentioned,
oh yeah Anna was coughing a lot during the night.
Why the heck do parents send their children to school,friends houses or out of the house when their child is ill and obviously contagious?
That woman (not Monica Lewinsky) and her oblivious ignorance allowed a potentially deadly virus to be passed on to other children and their families.
Two of the people in my crew have compromised immune systems and pick up virus's extremely easily. A common cold can waylay my crew for weeks and potentially kill them.
We take precautions in our household to prevent the transmission of any nasty bugs.
The sick person must wear a mask,gloves and be isolated to another part of the house until they are no longer contagious. We have a no touch rule, no touching anything that other people touch including taps, kitchen ware,computers,TV,door handles etc.
The sickie's sheets are washed and disinfected and they get to use their own washroom until the contagious phase has passed.
Oh and they don't get to go out, to school or a sleepover.
Cause real friends take every precaution to keep their friends healthy.
