I can remember getting sick to my stomach in elementary school and if there was another kid already in the nurses office, I was sequestered to the library until my parents came to get me, because they were scared and unsure what to do or what could happen.<BR/><BR/>I do understand their fear, but it doesn't make you or Miles feel any better about it. You try so hard, like my parents did, to make him feel that he is a normal kid just like his classmates, and other people do the exact opposite and freak out. It is lack of education and understanding, but there is not much you can do there...which sucks.<BR/><BR/>I think you are justified to be upset.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439781059558125407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30655647.post-65925065931753151302008-06-04T07:26:00.000-05:002008-06-04T07:26:00.000-05:00I'm with Michael.... it seems wrong to totally fre...I'm with Michael.... it seems wrong to totally free them of their responsiblity of Miles while he is in their care. This was Evan's 1st yr. & was at a small Christian school. On his admission sheet under medical conditions I stated his heart defect and gave the # to the cardio. During orientation I talked in length about his condition w/ the teacher and director. I told them about his heart, asthma and things to watch for. I also told them to please treat him normally. I can only remember 1 time picking him up and the teacher said that she upset Evan b/c she made him sit down a while during recess b/c his breathing was heavy. I assured her she did the right thing. I cannot think of any other instance where he was treated differently. I'm sorry this has become such a problem and hope things work out.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06226123426936853918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30655647.post-91790152454274525152008-06-03T20:32:00.000-05:002008-06-03T20:32:00.000-05:00this is a TOUGH issue.

But, they have all followed our instructions to treat her normally. If they ever have concerns they just call us and tell us. But if I received that letter, I would get legal advice before signing it. I am sure there are laws governing this kind of thing. I am sure other parents didn't have to sign the same thing. It seems a bit strong to totally free them of any responsibility for his medical well-being.<BR/>good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
