Daycare Drama

For awhile now everything has been going really good at Gina's daycare. I have had absolutely no complaints and that is because Gina has 1 awesome teacher out of 3. Well They are all pretty okay in their certain areas but Raechel is just outstanding and Gina loves her Raechel! So last week we had to take Gina to the hospital because she was sick and she was diagnosed with Croup/Viral Infection well Gina also has asthma but she has viral induced asthma that kind of asthma that only flares up when she is sick so she doesn't have it all the time. she will grow out of this. So since she has the viral infection right now of course her breathing is a bit wheezy at times so in order to keep her asthma under control we need to give her a breathing treatment a couple of times a day right now because of being sick. Once she is done coughing and all that she is off of it. So I need to bring her neubulizer in everyday at daycare because she needs to get at least 1 treatment while she is there. The other two teachers Stacey and Raechel are awesome at giving this to her and making sure she takes it. So to get on with the story, yesterday I picked Gina up from school and since Raechel is on vacation this week another teacher named Heather(which I really like) at the school is filling in for her. So yesterday afternoon it was Nicole(normal teacher) and Heather. As soon as I walk in Heather says to me "You may want to give Gina another treatment when she gets home because while we were outside she was coughing a lot." I said Okay and thank you very much for telling me. I made sure I said it real loud so Nicole could hear me because she never tells me anything about my child unless I pull it out of her. She is a nice girl but very quiet. So while I'm getting all of Gina's things together I look at the paper where we have to sign for medication if our child needs to take it and then when the teacher gives the meds they sign off on it and they also tell you the time it was done. Well guess what I see no signature at all. Well that is not the first time that has happened where they did give her the med but forgot to sign the sheet. So I look into Gina's bag and I see her med in there never even opened nothing...Now I'm pissed!! I said to Nicole "Nicole, Gina never even had her medication today!!" She said "What time was she supposed to get it?" I said "3:00" She was like "OMG I forgot about it" "I say "You forgot about it?!?! How do you forget a child's medication" Nicole "Well we got really busy in here today and things were crazy" Me" Not my problem nor Gina's problem so since you were busy and crazy sorry Gina you can't breath right today?!?!?" "Now I know why Gina was coughing so much on the playground cause she never had her medication". Well she apologized a lot but I just thought to myself this is bullshit! This is my daughters health we are talking about and I'm not letting this shit go! So of course when I left the classroom I was going to talk to Kim about it one of the directors but she was gone so I will talk to her today when I pick Gina up. I did tell the other teacher Stacey this morning about it and asked her to please remind Nicole this afternoon to do it. I will also be calling there at 3:00 to make sure she is getting it. Unreal! So that is my latest daycare drama....But I also found out good news from the daycare yesterday...my cousin Lisa is going to be in Gina's classroom in the Fall!!!!!! Yayyyyy!! I'm so so excited about that! My cousin will be with Gina everyday! Now watch something will happen from now to then where it will change. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

This is exactly why i said when Raechal is out, all hell breaks loose! Because Raechel is the only one that cares enough!
When Gina was outside playing and having a coughing fit, did it occur to them to pull her aside and take a break, drink some water? or are they just letting her run around and cough!

This is exciting news!! Now, only if we can get Raechel over there w/ Lisa then Gina will be set!

Awww, poor Gina!! I can't believe they forgot, how can you forget to give a child their medicine, especially when she's coughing that much?!?!?

She was too cute on Saturday!!! I couldn't stop laughing how she was with the dip! LMAO!
