[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 71710, member: 1233"] All Stressed Out, You need to get forms from your district nurse, usually in a separate office, a real RN, not just someone in the school to dispense medications, regarding his diet. Then the forms get signed by your doctor, you visit the nurse and a plan is made. The school has funds to educate the entire class and the teachers and cafeteria staff as to his nutritional needs. This is federal $$ from the lunch program. My youngest, thank you, has food allergies. We have to make a plan every year for him. This is based on the doctor's orders. It would work the same for your son. If your school has any $$$ from the federal free lunch program (and virtually all schools do) then they have to have you fill out the forms. They can do an educational lesson with the class about your son's problems, if you want them to. They will give orders to the teacher about snacks, etc.... Violating this puts the funding for the free lunch program at stake, so many schools are very accomodating. If your son had diabetes, or a heart condition that required him to have certain things you would insist on them with-o feeling guilty. Yeah, things would stink for the little guy, but RH is just as serious, so ditch the guilt and ask for the programs that are there to protect your kid. I know how heart-stopping the entire DHS investigation is. We went through it when our difficult child abused our easy child. We needed help for her, and the doctor had to report it. It was ugly. But necessary. If you let the fear stop you from doing what you need to do, you are hurting your kids. Sorry if I am too blunt. I fully expect you to take what helps you and ignore everything else I say!!!! ((((((((HUGS)))))))) Susie [/QUOTE]
