One Heck of A Week

It has been quite a week at the Janovich house. It has taken me all week to be able to sit down and write about this. It is so upsetting but also very scary. On Monday Shawn got a call from daycare that Ashley's lunch had been a little to hot and that when she touched it she had a little red mark from it. They said that it happened about 45 minutes ago and she had been crying ever since and asked if he or I could come by and try to calm her down. Upon arriving at daycare Shawn saw that what they called a mark was actually a severe burn that covered almost the entirety of Ashley's right hand. Her right hand was totally blistered.
He took her immediately to the dr. Her right hand is covered in a 2nd degree burn. The worst part is that they waited 45 mins to call so even though Shawn's office is close by it was over 1 hour before he got to her and even though her dr's office is close as well it was over 1 1/2 hours probably almost 2 hours before she got medical attention. (There is traffic around here all day every day!)
So, basically, Ashley is without a daycare. We are obviously not taking her back there and since most daycares in this area have a wait list of about 1 year we are not sure what we are going to do.
But the scary part is that this is the daycare where Ashley has been since she was 3 1/2 months old. This is the daycare that we spent alot of time researching before she was born and one that came highly recommended. This is the daycare we spent $300 a week on. What worries me is if it could happen there, then it could happen anywhere.
Here is a picture of Flipper, she has been a real trooper about it.

Grandma went to Toys'R'Us today and bought you a little get well something so it'll be coming next week. Your daddy & aunt Laura always got a present when they had a boo boo and after what you have been through...you should have the whole toy store! I love you...you look like your daddy in this picture. Maybe I should buy mommy & daddy a present too after what they have been through too.

Poor kid-o. Well she looks cute even with a flipper. Well you know that I've been there and done that with the daycares. Good luck finding a new one, that is totally AWESOME!

Ouch - I was wondering about you last week because you hadn't posted anything.

I hope Ashley's feeling better and that you can convince a good daycare to move you to the top of the list.
