So glad they figured it out! I really hope she is planning on reporting that Dr!

Poor baby.

Thank you for that link. So scary!

I'm so glad they got her in b/c when I read the initial post, diabetes is what crossed my mind. One of my closest friend's daughter was diagnosed w/Type 1 at 18 months and she was telling me about her DD's symptoms before diagnosis and one was the shaking and it getting better after eating. They'll likely have quite a few rough moments with the baby but just tell them to use all the resources available to them at their hospital and to also seek out other families in the area with diabetic children. It's really helped my friend have people around who "get" it.

So glad the baby got treatment!

That link about the Hib vaccine is scary!!

You deserve a pat on the back for knowing something was not right, trusting your gut, and supporting the parents in seeking help. Not all daycare providers are like that. I'm sure the parents are very grateful.

Glad to hear the baby got an appropriate diagnosis, unfortunate though that diagnosis is.

Good for you for insisting on the doctor visit! You and other child care providers should not hesitate! There have been several times with both my kids that a doctor has minimized my concerns, then when I have said "The daycare teacher says this is not normal" all of a sudden the doctor takes you seriously.

Holy moly! I had been following this thread.

Regardless of what you thought the cause was, you probably saved that little baby's life by being so insistent. I really hope the mom reports the doctor. Where his lack of actions so blatantly could have cause permanent harm or death to a child, hopefully he should be disciplined.

I don't want to sound condescending but you really should be proud of yourself for being so persistent. You knew something wasn't right and i'm sure mom did too but b/c of the "doctors are Gods and can do no wrong" complex that permeates this society, she probably was made to feel silly or overprotective and was sent away with a pat on the head.

I'm glad that they have figured out what is wrong with her lo before any real damage occured. I'm also glad that she is going to be home with the baby this year.
