Hi all,
Would like your opinions/experience on overnight school field trips for the younger ones.
This one is for one night on a (docked) working sea ship. My son is 10. I'm not worried about handling/skipping medications for just one night. At first I thought, no big deal, but then started second guessing it as I filled out the medical condition form and now need his doc's signature. He is immune suppressed, won't eat the meals, and will get exhausted - the kids work as deck hands and have a night watch. Feels like not a great idea, that he might get really sick.
But I hate-hate-hate having his condition dictate on something everyone else can do. I think I've already ruled out the multi-night 6th grade camp and 8th grade east coast trips for him (which may not even be an option anyway, with budget cuts and fairness issues right now).
Thoughts? Thanks!
