7yr.old Daughter Home From School

[hapy4dolphins]

HI, My daughter came home from school again today with a tummy ache..........hubby went and got her and brought her home. I was out. Anyway, what does one do? I have her some pink stuff (Meijer brand of stomach relief) and then in 20 minutes she was fine and up and playing again. GRRRR

I am going to assume the school has a nurse's office. Complete whatever forms the school requires so they can give your daughter the "pink stuff" that you provide at school. You should also give instructions on how long to wait until they call you.

In our school district the doctor has to complete an offical school form and the parents have to complete an additional form for prescription and non-prescription meds.

I did had to go through this process so my son could have asthma medicine kept in the nurse's office and administered.

i was under the impression that some of the "pink stuff" was NOT gluten-free? is that true? anyone?

As a former teacher (now a SAHM) I'd recommend looking into a 504 plan for you daughter.

This way you can tell the school how they should properly deal with things in guidelines that you feel are appropriate You can include things like giving the school nurse permission to administer "the pinks stuff" etc.

Also you may want to talk with your daughter, her upset stomach could be due to nerves or something thats happening with the other kids that the teachers and you may not be aware of! My sister and I both get celiac type symptoms when we are nervous (sometimes lasting for a day other times for a minutes or hours) If there is something going on I'd have a conference with her teacher to get it settled!

Hope that helps!
