Hello,
My daughter is 9 w/cf. She is in the 4th grade this year. She started the year 2 weeks late beacuse she went into the hospital.She had the same thing..lung infection w/ staph still showing up she contacted earlier in the year.So this is her second week of school and she has probably gone 4 whole days. Last week she complained of stomach cramps and sore throat. Which this last hospital visit they put her on new med's....hypertonic saline and tobi neb.So I thought the hyper was making her throat sore.But this week it has turned up to be a virus going around at school.Seventy kids came to the school nurse in a day..she said..some to take their med's but most were sick.A viral thing the doc said.Head ache,congestion,runny nose and sore throat. She is on so many med's now.The only thing they could give her is a steriod. Take it for 5 days and see your cf doc. monday ...1 1/2 hrs. away. If she is not better she may have to be admitted...been there done that 2 weeks ago...for 2 1/2 weeks away from home! She just cannot go to school and not catch something...What do you do? This year has been the worst.Second year at a new and bigger school..Has 8, 4th grade classes. So many kids..and so many parents send them to school sick.So now I am really considering home schooling. Don't know how to go about doing it...gotta get more info.Don't want to take her away from the social life of school activities..but I can't go week to week with her being sick and going back and forth to the hospital. So we thought if we home school her then we could find something away from home for her to do as a hobby or activity...sports.Any advice would be helpful.And if you are home schooling give me some info. on how and how its going..Thanks
