What is the name of your state? AZ
In August my son went to the hospital because he suffered a seizure due to a high fever. I called his father and he came to the hospital and we both stayed until the doctor discharged him 4 hours later.
Last weekend our son's father gave him Dimetapp because he said he was congested. I asked him how much medicine he gave our son and he said he didn't remember and told me to look at the box. I also asked him if he had consulted with a doctor. He stated no. When I picked our son up he said he gave him medicine so he wouldn't have another "fever induced seizure".
I looked at the box for Dimetapp and it states to contact a doctor for children under 2, our son is 20 months. I don't give my children any type of medication without consulting a doctor first. Especially since he has never been given Dimetapp before.
I don't appreciate my son's father taking jabs at me by saying he gave him medicine so he wouldn't have a seizure. The only way he can have a seizure is from a fever not a runny nose. And I don't appreciate him giving our son medicine without consulting a doctor first.
I sent my son's father the copies of the paperwork we received from the hospital stating how our son suffered a seizure, what to do for a seizure and how to prevent / manage another seizure and stated to him Dimetapp was not the medicine we were to give. Once my son's father received the paperwork he blamed me for not giving him the paperwork when we left the hospital. I was confused by this because HE WAS AT THE HOSPITAL and got the same info I got. I just wanted to make a point by sending the paperwork that he was not doing the right thing according to what we received at the hospital.
My son's father is now accusing me of not providing him with paperwork from the hospital because he says it is the CP responsibility to give all info to the NCP. And is going to take this to court to say I'm not communicating or being cooperative. Whichi is a lie!
My question is: If the NCP is present and receiving the same info the CP is getting then why is the CP responsible for providing info when both the NCP and CP are present? I know that I am responsible for providing info regarding our son when the NCP is not present (such as doctor or education info) but at what point does he accept responsibility for being a parent?
