[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 194925, member: 3444"] HOC & Witz, we don't have an RN, just a health clerk, and she's only part-time :( Plus, they are required to keep the medication in a labeled rx bottle that has his name on it. I went down yesterday to give them more tablets since I only wanted to give them one week's worth at a time. They have our one and only rx bottle since we just got the rx for the 100mg filled this month, so I had the rest of the tabs in a baggy. She made a big deal out of the rules she's supposed to follow and that she technically cannot accept pills out of a baggy to replenish the bottle. Of course, who's to say that what I gave her originally in the bottle is the right medication anyway? There was one pill left in the bottle, so I showed her that it matched what I was giving her. The whole thing is a royal friggin' pain, and it all boils down to liability issues for the school. I get that. It's just ludicrous to expect an 11yo with executive function problems to take total responsibility for taking a medication that he's only been on for two weeks. Grrrrrr. Okay, well 'nuf of that and I'm definitely working on these issues one little bit at a time. I have to go down there today to help in the library and need to talk to his case manager about some of the finer points in his IEP as well as the results of his Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation this summer. Yesterday I was just feeling incredibly overwhelmed because of husband's possible health problems and the boys just not doing what they're supposed to do school-wise, coupled with not having coffee for two days!!! (WHY I did that, I'll never know, but I had my joe today and am feeling much, MUCH better!):coffee: [/QUOTE]
