    My poor baby boy

    Last Tues I got a call from the nurse at Kevin's school saying he had a 103 temp. He had the fever Tuesday and Wednesday then was fine on Thursday and Friday. When he got home from school on Friday he went straight to the den and fell asleep on the sofa, no fever. Sunday he starts to complain about his left ear. I called Monday morning to get him an appt for this morning ( I hate being a work in)

    He has a double ear infection and a sinus infection. All of this on top of his reflux problem. Then, I told the doctor about Kevin having 'accidents' every now and then and very lose bowels on a regular basis. We were sent to radiology at the hospital to do X-Ray's of his stomach, blood tests and stool samples. The doctor thinks he has irritable bowel syndrome. Kevin is on 7 different medications right now for his ears, sinuses, reflux, IBS and pain.

    This morning John and I decided that it would be best since Kevin misses so much school for being sick that I will be home schooling him. I've gotten letter after letter from the school board for truancy this after all the letters I've produced from the doctor stating why Kevin will be missing school. I'm tired of them threatening me.
    In the state of Alabama, to home school, you must go through a church cover school and I found out the church we use to attend is now a cover school , that is such a relief.

    Meanwhile, my baby is in pain, he will start squirming and whining because his ears hurt so much, it makes my heart hurt to see him hurting.

    Aww poor kid! It sucks that schools threaten you when you bring them proof, but do nothing to the kids who are actually skipping. I am glad you found a cover school for him and hope he gets to feeling better soon

    I'm sorry your son is suffering like that, I hope he starts to feel better soon.

    I know what it's like to have the school harass you about your child's attendance. I deal with that all the time and it really sucks, especially since you're already stressed about your child and then to have the school do their crap on top of it.

    That poor kid. I hope he is feeling better soon. Will say a prayer that he is. Shame on the school. To act that way when kids are sick is so not right.
