“NTA and I’m honestly livid that she thought she could disregard your baby’s health. It’s clear that she doesn’t see it as a serious condition, so you have two options. Show her how serious it is or don’t let her touch your son. She won’t have any idea of what to do if something goes wrong. She didn’t have to see him during that episode, she didn’t have to feel the fear you felt. She didn’t rush him to the hospital and she didn’t hear all the scary facts you probably heard. Talk to her about the condition, give her information, take her to a doctors appointment if you need to. But if she’s gonna watch your kid, you need to really express how dangerous her actions are. And if she won’t accept, understand, and change – no baby time for her. And your husband clearly lacks understanding too. Ask him point blank why his mother’s feelings are more important than your son’s life. He needs to grow a backbone and protect his kid.”
