Re: Re: Schools almost here

[Guest guest]

,

I have to do the same thing with my son for his hemophilia. And of course I get

the, " I'll get AID's! " looks. Of course my son doesn't get blood products, and

is completely safe, so I have to explain that to them, but it's all the same.

Each teacher has to be taught, and the school nurse each year needs a refresher

course. Each year needs new prescriptions for ice packs, oral meds, and what

to do and how to do it, and when to do it,.... geez do I need to tell you when

to feed him to. I actually asked them that last year. Boy did I get a lecture.

But the frustration level gets so bad. So I do understand, and hemophilia can

be lifethreatening much as diabetes if not treated promptly when in crisis.

All I can say is 1) You go mom! and 2) Hugs.... at least back to school comes

once a year.

HUGS,

teri

. I am so glad to hear that william is doing great after the

last few months of troubles he has had. At least his teacher will

know what should be done her being a diabetic. That is a answered

prayer. Please give him a hug from me. You are just a loving

grandmother and we are so proud of you.
