I just need to vent about this, not really expecting any responses.
I have always been a bit of a "germaphobe" and that has gotten far worse since my son was diagnosed. Especially last winter when his white blood cell count was low. I go to great lengths to avoid illness for my son.
So last night he had a friend sleep over. The friend starting vomiting in our car this morning on the way to church. When I asked if he got car sick he said "no, I've been sick lately." He had thrown up after my son's basketball game yesterday (about an hour before he came over) and has been apparently throwing up for a few days. :ymad: I was not aware of this.
His parents don't know about Johnny's condition. They don't know that he is on a medication that lowers his immune system and that a nasty stomach bug could throw him out of remission. But I am still really angry. Why would someone send their sick child to someone else's house??????
I felt like I was just getting over some of my overprotective tendencies with my son. Now I feel like I have just been thrown back into being overly careful because other people apparently have no common sense!
Do I email this mom and let her know the situation and let her know that I cannot have sick people at my house, or do I just let it go? Am I being jerk for being so mad?
