[QUOTE="Janna, post: 67430, member: 2737"] Yes, I do. easy child is on Captopril for blood pressure from congenital heart disease. The school nurse does know, and I'm ok with that. She also does not administer his Concerta, but knows he is on it. What if something severe happened to him while he was in school and he had to be trasported to the E.R.? It takes me an hour to get from work to where he'd be. Yes, I want someone to know what medications my child is on. What if Dylan gets Lithium toxicity during class? How would the teacher know what was going on with him if he started getting the shakes? What if he had problems? The drooling, the slurping, all that stuff from the Abilify last year, how would they have known that was from that medication if I never told them he was on that medication? Sorry, Sara, I can't agree with you on this one. I do agree maybe not everyone needs to know, but the person that is ultimately going to care for your child in the event of an emergency should absolutely know everything your child is on. [/QUOTE]
