More than likely is the best answer I can give you. I don't know if visitation and time sharing have already been established or if you need to do so. If you already have a court order in place then you will need to file a Supplemental Petition for Modification of time sharing and visitation. If not then you will need to file a petition for paternity. You will probably want to consult with an attorney to discuss your rights and options.

Since the matter concerns the child's health and well being it warrants a court review of the current time sharing schedule if there is one or at least for one to be put in place.
Document missed appointments and any doctor/hospital information on the child's health and missed appointments and seek a consultation with a local family law attorney who can assist you with a Petition for a Parenting Plan and Time Sharing Plan or assist you with Modifying the current one to better protect your child.
