[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 391570, member: 3444"] Thank you all for your replies. I ran into another friend at the grocery store today who told me a little more about the alternate high school which is housed on difficult child 1's campus. Her 17yo son used it last year and was still able to remain on his home school's volleyball team. So that was a relief to hear. There is also another alternative program on another high school campus in our district, but it sounds more like a special-ed oriented/SDC type environment. I don't really know and need to call when our district is back in session next week. It's been funny the past few days because difficult child 1's symptoms have been very minimal. Last week I could have sworn that he was having a Crohn's flare. Today I took him in for bloodwork and he was fine until the doctor came out with our lab slip -- then suddenly difficult child 1 said he felt bad and wanted to go home! I gently insisted we get the labwork finished first. Then I took him to Kohl's to get a new pair of shoes that he needs, but first he had to use the restroom. He was in there about 20 minutes. He looked pale, too. But just the fact that he was fine the past two days until suddenly he has to do something that causes him anxiety and then BAM the bowel problem comes up again. We'll know more when the lab results come back, hopefully Wednesday. If all the numbers are good, then I'm going to resign myself to this being an anxiety/stress induced issue. We'll push to get him in to see a therapist and I'll get the psychiatrist thinking more about the medications. AND I think I will still apply for homebound instruction for the next month... maybe just until the end of this semester. If we can get him headed in the right direction with therapy, then maybe he'll cope o.k. second semester. Maybe. And the alternative high school will be my backup plan if this doesn't work. Well, at least ONE of my difficult child's is stable! [/QUOTE]
