Hello,
My son w/cf is starting preschool in just a few short weeks. I'm having a hard time realizing that it's coming so soon, but I realize that it's really something that he needs socially. I've done my research and feel confident that his teacher will do all she can to help him with his needs. I just wanted to ask you experts if I've covered all my bases. Here is what I plan to tell his teacher:
Give her the CF and school pamphlet from the CF foundation
Explain enzymes, dosages, and when he needs them
Give her a larger than life bottle of anti-bacterial gel that should be used before snacks (and that other kids should use too)
Explain that I need to be contacted if there is another child in the class who might be ill.
Explain that my son may need the bathroom more than normal.
Am I missing anything?? He is so excited to finally be with other kids in a small class setting. It's his mom who is having a difficult time with the transition. Thanks for any suggestions! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
