Interesting. Our son takes presecription medicine every day after lunch. The school keeps it in the office (in a seperate bag, under lock and key). They call us when he is about to run out and we take another month-or-so supply. They carefully count it and sign it in when we take it. He's one of many they do this for. |
Yeah, I think our high school is a little over the top with it. The elementary school was more amenable and actually, the middle school was too. Perhaps it's a volume issue or simply the age group, but the high school is kind of silly. I am glad they let her carry her asthma inhaler because trying to get to the office to get that when she really needs it would be kind of nuts. And the epi-pen, because she might not make it to the office if she has an accidental peanut ingestion. They are instructed to call 911 if she has to use the epi-pen too because it will only hold her for so long. She also needs IV steroids and benedryl if she has a peanut ingestion. Thankfully, she's a smart kid and very very careful.
