[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 237341, member: 1697"] Oh my, that hooovers. I had mono in HS but I had to go to school and work, even with it cuz I lived on my own, and had to pay my rent etc. and I was already in trouble at school re attendance. it was SO hard. I was so exhausted all the time, and it took me almost a year to feel half normal again. easy child and her boyfriend got mono Um a year or 2 ago. boyfriend was more sick for a shorter time, Like a month, but he was laid out flat. easy child was sick a few months, and got several other "bugs" floating around at the time, includeing pneumonia. PCs school was odd about it, and I had to fight for her to have any days off.....I had to fight HARD, which made me very angry, becuz until the mono, she had perfect attendance all her years of school. and she was in the top 2% for her grades. But, yes our school kept demanding she be at school every day.... My son got it but his did not make him feel crummy, he had some serious spleen invovlement.....he got his a year not around the time of easy child and boyfriend. He was still in elem, and a classmate of his got it and wound up so sick, he was on hhomebound for 6 months. That boy was NOT a happy camper......he was a school geek, loved school, and his parents had a very hard time dealing with the school. Seems our schools here have these policies re illness and attendance etc, but....how they behave if you follow the policies still can land you in middle of problems. Its like they want to have their cake and eat it, too. I suppose it is becuz they have to have the illness policies, but.....then when it comes down to the wire, they d not want kids out of class becuz it affects the $$ they get? and they feel it is disruptive. SO the school as an entity wants the illness policies becuz they are the correct thing, but the school the entity also wants the $$ generated by great attendance of the masses...and the teachers and staff at school want the policies, cuz they also do not want to get sick, and they are human with feelings for the kids, but, they also do not want any increased work load due to haveing to gather a sick kids work. School issues aside, gentle hugs to you guys.....hope he feels better soon! [/QUOTE]
