Sick Whenever Son Comes Home!!

Like Lisa said, it could be emotional. Don't accuse the girlfriend of doing something yet. Let your ex know that your son is getting sick when he comes home. Ask him about what he eats. It could be something as simple as reflux. For years my 6 year old has off and on had problems with food with tomato sauce. Sometimes he makes him sick, sometimes it doesn't. I hope you are wrong about the girlfriend, but as you investigate different possible causes don't dismiss poisoning. Stranger things have happened. Ask your son also, if he is sick while he's at Dad's house too.

If you are concerned this much, then you should start making dr appts every monday morning. Make your work understand that you have family emergency's and on Monday morn's you'll be an hour late or so. Take him in and let the doc see what you do. Coming from a professional, if anything happens it will all be recorded. You dont' have to tell the dad, but you may want to express your concern.

I am so happy to hear a mom ask for help befor it is to late!I have a myspace and I have missing kids and all diff. sites like that and I do alot of posting bulletins and I cant tell u how many reports I have posted about kids that do end up in a bad spot like this.It is better to be safe than sorry.I feel u should maybe take ur son to the doctors to see what is going on.Let the dr. no ur thoughts and tell him that ur son is always getting sick after comeing home from there.Have them do a blood test to make sure that nothin is going on.GOOD LUCK TO U AND YOUR SON.Dont forget its better to be safe than sorry!!!!!

Hi-- I am new to this but I just wanted to let you know that I have a two year old who I took to daycare for about a month everyday I picked him up and he would get sick before I could even get him home. I was getting worried because by the next morning he was fine. I started ivestigating and come to find out the daycare had a favorite candle sent that she had up on a shelf-- she would have it lite all day-- stinky diapers and such she wanted her house to smell good-- anyways my son was alergic to the candle-- it sounds strange but I took him out of the daycare and he has been fine ever sence - maybe he has something at his house that your son is allergic to-- It's just a thought--- I just wanted to give you another idea. I hope everything works out.

Hi J.~ I am so sorry this is happening. When you say that he is sick, what symptoms is he displaying? Have you spoke to your pediatrician about what is happening? Sometimes how a child is feeling emotionally can come out in physical symptoms. I hope this helps.

Talk to his doctor about this. It may just be him adjusting to coming home. But def. talk to his dr.

I would keep a log of what is happening when he comes home, like what his symptoms are. As young as he is, if he starts to act out or put up a fight when it's time to go to his dad's, then something may be wrong. Otherwise it could just be emotional. Especially at his age, he may not understand why he has two homes, or why he may be able to do something at your house, but not his fathers. But that also depends on how long your situation has been going on. If this is something recent, he may not be adjusted to it yet.
