Yes it would be nice to get any and all the sick days you want but you should know by now thats not how the world works. It is time to find alternative child care or one of you needs to change jobs or schedules.

I think your math is a bit off, it's one per month so she accumulated 9 and has used 13. This is high and as I said earlier this year has been an exception. Being here for 8 years we have accumulated quite a bit of time so it's not a matter of going into the negative for sick days.
The whole point of this thread was looking for ideas for alternative care in the case that we need it for the last 3 months of this year to avoid the stress of taking time off, we don't want to take time off its very stressful.
This year has been horrible for us since it was his first year in daycare, besides my knee injury I think I have caught everything possible this year. Colds, flu, Streep, stomach virus that I unknowingly had during my surgery which caused all kinds of issues due to the antibiotics they give you before surgery. I've used most of my holiday time for sick time this year.
