I think that I am going to seriously have to consider hiring an in-home babysitter for him rather than putting him in group care. His immune system clearly cannot handle it.
I can barely afford to work as it is and this might put it over the edge. Currently, we are paying $135/week for two full days. I'm looking at my schedule and I'm not sure I could make it work better. If we hired someone 8-5:30, it would cost at least $190/week. I know that's only $55 more, but that's $55 I don't have right now.
On the other hand, I'm probably paying that in copays and medication as it is.
I think I'll have to call tomorrow to look into a sitter.
I'm also EXTREMELY nervous about someone watching him who is not being watched (if that makes sense). I'd like the person watching him to not work a 9.5 hour day without a break. I'd be scared for his safety.
