[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 126837, member: 1697"] OK< guess I am chatty this morning, snow and bitter cold must be getting to me or something. ALl this reminded me of not the start of this school year, but start of last school year, so Fall of '06? easy child went to school, got stung by a bee right after arriving AT school, on school grounds. Apparently she developed an allergy, and she complained she could not breathe. Nurse was not yet at school, front office called me to tell me she said she could not breathe. I asked "is she breathing?" they said---OMG------"I dunno" Uh OK uh HELLO- call 9-1-1! Yeesh. You do not KNOW if she is not breathing? Well, I am not the nurse. Uh, it does not take a nurse to know if someone is breathing? so they send easy child to ER by ambulance and I meet easy child at ER. By the time I got there they had given her a shot, and they were LOL at schools 9-1-1 call, asking me how could school not know if someone is breathing? We wait at ER an hour or 2, and easy child is doing just fine, now. She wants to go to school. doctor says that will be fine. I drop easy child off at school, with her ER paperwork for school. I am not even out of school parking lot and school nurse calls me. Nurse says, are you excuseing PCs absence this morning? Um, what? uh, no, I am not. I am being sarcastic. Nurse says well, then easy child is truant for today, might as well come get her, cuz being truant, she will not get credit for her classes for today, and she will have a $50 fine. WHAT? Um scuse me- YOU called for ambulance, (the school) She has her ER paperwork, docs note etc. what do you mean, do I excuse her absence? What kind of goofy question is THAT? she missed what? 2 hours? (and one was a study hall) Actually that was the same week my sons school kept calling complaining I sent him to school with possible pink eye. And yup- I posted about it all as it was happenning, posted here, or on Special Education forum......(or both) Sometimes it is all the things surrounding something that are more difficult to cope with than the event itself. I mean it seemed pretty straightforward to me, kids not breathing, goes by ambulance, from school, comes back 2 hours later with docs paperwork etc, how could that be truancy? Kid has surgeries, spends 2 days every week at Rnald McDonald House for eye doctor follow up for 18 months, but now you are gonna wonder if there is medical neglect for pink eye? on one of the days the kid is NOT at RMH and univ hospital? And you want LOCAL inept E to confirm eye surgeon from major univ teaching hospital is on target? Yeesh. [/QUOTE]
