Amazing what even requesting an IEP mtg will do. They blinked. Got a very conciliatory call from co-op director this morning, stating that RN possibly overreacted. Gee, ya' think? She and head program nurse will visit site nurse and clarify "proper procedures".
So yes, I know the lecture I'm going to get about not getting this in writing, though you of course know I'm going to follow up with- a certified letter of understanding re: our conversation and how it's *not* appropriate to ban a child from school because of stool consistency or lack thereof when there is a) no indication of an actual intestinal illness and b) there is a reasonable explanation, i.e. antibiotics and/or softeners. There will be documentation, filed in permanent file at my request, just not in IEP format. To be honest, I'm so sick right now (Boo shared his URI, bless his heart) I'm not sure I'd be terribly effective tomorrow anyway.
Keeping Boo's needs foremost in my mind, you could say I blinked as well and have had pediatrician fax a prescription for a regular diet to co-op. Good thing his office knows me well - they couldn't believe what I was asking for, LOL. So - Boo gets to eat his "prescribed" sandwiches and pizza now and school staff can just get over it. Sigh... it's really quite ridiculous.
Only four more fun filled years of this junk. Again, thanks for the reality check.
