The school nurse is already tired of calling me....

10/16/2018

So, school started right about 2 months ago, and I swear, I've gotten a call from the school nurse at least once a week since it's started. See, Monster Man has a peanut allergy. It's not so severe that it has resulted in anaphalaxys, but it is severe enough that he's got an epi-pen for it. He has really bad eczema, and when he eats peanuts, it makes the eczema flare up. 

 

So, the first time the nurse called, she was concerned, because one of the copies of Monster Man's vaccine pages was missing a certain vaccine that he needed to start school. Well, this was like, two weeks after school started. So, I scrambled between the local health department and the doctors office to get copies faxed to the school. Thankfully, the vaccine that she didn't have listed, was in one of those forms. 


Then, the following week, Monster Man came home from school within the first hour, because he got sick. So, she called me to come get him. 

 

Two weeks after that, he started running a fever at school,  but this time, it was near the end of the day. I still had to pick him up early though. 

 

Then, just today, she calls me to let me know that Monster Man took a bite of a no-bake cookie at lunch. He had not been given the no-bake cookie. They think he traded it with another kid, who wanted Monster Man's chocolate chip cookie he'd been given for lunch. But a teacher who was supervising lunch period noticed, knew about his peanut allergy, made him spit it out, and washed out his mouth. She said he was acting fine, he wasn't showing any signs of an allergic reaction, I told her that the epi-pen was a precaution from the doc, but that most likely, if he has any kind of reaction (espeically since he didn't actually eat any of it), it'll most likely be a flare up of his eczema, so, yay. But they kept an eye on him and he was fine. 

 

Come to find out, he didn't know that no-bake cookies actually had peanut butter in them. I make a version at home for him with sunbutter instead of peanut butter.But now he knows. 

 

So, yeah, the poor school nurse must be tired of talking to me on the phone.

I'm glad you have a school nurse who cares as much as she does! Better to be safe than sorry!

Monster man certainly keeps the nurse busy if anything lol

ryn: Great job to the both of you! Don't be so hard on hubby! Men always lose weight faster than we do. I'm now down 49.5 pounds since that entry. And the thing with my blood cells turned out to be nothing. The hemotologist asked me why I was there lol.
