daycare update

So on Thursday we had a meeting with Daycare again. (I may have mentioned, she was supposed to start daycare 2 weeks ago, but they were too worried about her condition to take her- when we went to visit two weeks ago we went over to the infant room and of course this cute little girl toddles right over to a sleeping baby and wacks her on the head a few times! Needless to say that was not reassuring that our Baby with skull fractures would be safe.) During all of this the Director of the daycare has been very honest and realistic. The most recent development is this- Next week is practically the busiest week of the year due to starting new after summer/Holiday. Plus 2 of their main people in the infant room will be gone. The Director ended up sharing with us that the Dr. told her that Baby's skull fractures can be felt by touching her head (I was not aware of this and it does nothing to reassure me that this is "going to heal and her head is almost like a normal baby's skull due to the typically gaps") but apparently they are now saying that it should heal in 4-8 weeks... we have to have a follow up with neuro-surgery to make sure everything is progressing as it should. At any rate, we will not be starting Baby at daycare next week. We will work out opposite work schedules (between my husband and I, one of us is at work 5:30a-10:30p) and my sister will come to help again next Friday. Then the following week we are planning to try daycare Mon, Wed and Fri. I am not too confident about being able to handle that... I can tell that I say "we are going to take her to daycare" but in my mind I don't think I have accepted it really... I guess we will see.
