[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 474256, member: 1722"] Thank you again everyone for sharing your situations. It's good to know I'm not alone but incredibly sad that so many of us have been or are in similar circumstances. :( I have an update of sorts. Duckie went for a RAST test for latex/kiwi/avocado/bananas last week and I have partial results: Duckie is NOT allergic to latex (the others results are not in yet). This is good news because latex can be an incredibly difficult allergy to manage. But... we are also back to square one as to what causes these mysterious reactions. :( On a brighter note; the principal, school office secretary and I finally seem to have hit upon a way to ensure that Duckie will not ride the bus without the epipen and creates a sense of accountability in the monitor. The monitor (and any substitute) must show Duckie the epipen when she is getting on the bus in the morning and afternoon. If they don't have the pen or refuse to show it then Duckie will get off the bus and return to the house or to the school office. This way, either the school or myself knows immediately that there is a problem. And, this piece is being added to her emergency plan and she will be given a copy to carry in her school binder to show any substitute that questions the policy (the bus driver knows too but if he has a sub...). I hate that it comes down to my 10 year ODD kid questioning the ability of an adult to her job, but this monitor just doesn't understand the importance of the pen being there. [/QUOTE]
