[QUOTE="marianna37, post: 199246, member: 5347"] Since I last posted, Matthew had to be hospitalized for 3 days in the ICU for DKA. (Diabetic Ketoacidosis) I knew that was coming down the road and the endocrinologists and school district didn't listen to me. Yes, the poor blood sugar control was a huge factor. However, if he had been receiving homebound instruction he wouldn't have missed all these days of school due to his illness and not have all this pressure on him when he is so sick. He called me this morning from school wanting to come home because he was so fatigued. His blood sugar was fine so I told him he needed to stay at school. But really, how much is he going to take in or benefit? His health is not conducive to the strain of the classroom environment right now. But, if I pick him up all the time, the AP threatens me with truancy charges. His absences are all medically documented but why do they have to add to our stress level when our son is chronically sick? Matthew is still trying to be non compliant with his medication regimen. Unless we watch every blood sugar check and every shot and every pill he is not trustworthy to take his medicine. If that is not irrational behavior I don't know what is. I will follow up with an agency who might be able to convince his doctor for the need of homebound instruction. On the other hand, I'm pretty exhausted trying to get Matthew what he needs and he sabotages his own health with such self destructive behavior. [/QUOTE]
