I have custody of my great niece. She is 20 months old. Her bio mom has a visitation today. The baby has pneumonia and her dr says she needs to stay away from anyone outside our home. The mother is insisting the visit. The pediatrician was very clear about being fever free for * hrs. Which she is not. The guardian at lietim GAL said I must allow the visit. Am I wrong to follow medical advise?

- Medical advice should be seriously considered, especially for a child with pneumonia.
- You might want to consult with the GAL again, explaining the doctor's recommendations.
- Consider seeking a temporary order or modification from the court if needed.

You can certainly try to handle this situation yourself. Here are a few steps you might consider:
- Document everything: Keep detailed records of the doctor's advice, the child's health condition, and any communication with the GAL.
- Try to negotiate: If possible, explain the situation clearly to the child's mother and the GAL.
- Court filing: If negotiations don't work, you might need to file a temporary order or seek a modification in court to prioritize the child's health.
If you decide you need legal help later, you can always seek assistance then.
