Family Forum / Parenting / Mothers / February 2006A Question about SICK
Ok. I am wondering when your children went to school for the first times, how often did they get sick? Ds has been in school 3 weeks and is sick once again. Not to mention me as well... although mine is a hernia again. I hope this time they put mesh in. I really don't want to have another surgery... I am FED UP with it. This will be the third hernia removed, had four operations on my foot and my gall bladder removed.... I am sick of sick!!!! <sigh> Will it ever end?  Signature(*)(*) (------) Froggy >Ok.

It's not uncommon at all for a child to get sick frequently when they go to school or even daycare. E has been sick a lot since starting Kindergarten. I hope you get your hernia resolved. I had my surgery last year, and they had to put in a 16 cm. piece of mesh in, mine was so large. Nan >>Ok.

The good thing with this is, they don't keep track of attendance just yet. > I hope you get your hernia resolved.

The first one I got when I was preggers, the second I fell at my moms and this one, I have no idea. I'm just tired of being cut open... can they put mesh around the whole belly button area? they've all been around the belly button but in different areas.

I haven't had any problems since my hernia repair surgery. When I had my gallbladder surgery they swept away some adhesions, but other than that, no problems. A surgeon should be able to put mesh where you're wanting it. Mine is 16 cm in diameter, so it's across the entire front of my abdomen. It took 14 lap incisions to get it all tacked down. Nan >> Ok.

I am sick of sick!!!! <sigh> Will it > ever end? the first year of preschool? i don't think he ever *didn't* have a cold. he had one within 3 days of starting until June. you are going to have to be militant about hand washing, his *and* yours. ask the school to make sure he washes his hands before eating (but that only helps a tiny bit, as anytime they touch anything a sick kid touched & then touch thier face, they've infected themselves) & make sure they're cleaning the toys at least daily. if you don't have a dishwasher, use boiling water to rinse, especially the silverware & glasses. make up some 10% bleach solution & use it to disinfect counters, doorknobs, keyboards, washable toys, anything the kid touches... (ok, you can buy disinfectant wipes, but the bleach solution is cheaper & kills more germies) buy stock in Tylanol & Motrin. good luck. it gets better after the first year. lee Signaturewar is peace freedom is slavery ignorance is strength 1984-George Orwell > Ok.

Both mine were sick aprox 1 week out of every month for the whole first year in childcare, after that things improved greatly.(mine both went into childcare 2 days a week at age1) Alley Yeah - it's usual for them to come down with a few things to start off with - but once their system adjusts he should be fine - Hope you manage to get yourself sorted .. K Pttthhh, my daughter is sick evertime i turn around... I hope you can clue me in...and the bad part, the freaking school is talking about taking me to court, she has had strep 2 times, chicken pox , and this last time she has strep she also got scarletena......so i am fed up with her getting sick i went to the school board and told them they need to enforce the sick kid policy.... they said well mam we do our best!!!...Yeah right! But I also have a step son that is in the same school and he hasn't yet gotten sick BUT...my daughter has asthma and allergies and catches stuff SOOO uch easier than my step son...but what to do about the attendance thing??..any idea's would work... Amanda *Smile it'll get better!* > Yeah - it's usual for them to come down with a few things to start off > with - but once their system adjusts he should be fine - Hope you > manage to get yourself sorted .. > > K >But I also have a step son that is in the same school and he hasn't yet >gotten sick BUT...my daughter has asthma and allergies and catches stuff >SOOO uch easier than my step son...but what to do about the attendance >thing??..any idea's would work... >Amanda If she is under a doctor's care, the absences should be excused. Get your doc to write them a note. If she has been out alot, you may want to ask the school to provide home-hospital teachers. Most school districts have teachers who will come to your home to keep her up on the curriculum. -- Dorothy There is no sound, no cry in all the world that can be heard unless someone listens .. The Outer Limits see that's just it, I have taken doc notes everytime she has been out, and she is at a 3rd grade reading level...alot of you have seen that I complain to the teacher b/c she does get bored in school but there isn't alot they can do, it's a public school and she has to follow the circulem *SP* that the state mandates for her age..:-( So I am kind of stuck in between a rock and a hard place... Amanda *Smile it'll get better!* >>But I also have a step son that is in the same school and he hasn't yet >>gotten sick BUT...my daughter has asthma and allergies and catches stuff [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > The Outer Limits >Pttthhh, my daughter is sick evertime i turn around... >I hope you can clue me in...and the bad part, the freaking school is talking [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >Amanda >*Smile it'll get better!* I would think that as long as you document all her illnesses, then that is your ammunition IF they try the court thing. IME, schools make that threat and rarely follow through unless it's an extreme case. E has been sick quite a bit, too. The social worker called about it and I simply thanked her for her concern, but assured her that she definitely *was* sick when she'd miss. I actually called the principal and she agreed that E's absences were excused, and there was no problem. Since Kindergarten isn't compulsory, I am not going to get overly concerned about attendance, but I do make sure she goes unless she's ill. Nan |
