*SERIOUS VENT WARNING*
Okay, teacher, first you try to claim that my son's stomach cramps, exhaustion, joint pain, vomiting, and other Crohn's symptoms are all in his head (even after I tried to explain to you that he has been diagnosed with moderate to severe Crohn's and everything that involves. And, nobody could have missed the Erythema Nodosum on his legs). That, you know people with Crohn's and had other students who needed things like Chemotherapy and that his complaints basically, in your opinoin, seem to be over the top and he can push through.
He should be fine to go to and fully participate in school EVERY day no matter how he claims he is feeling.
That his dislike of going to school when he 'claims' to be in pain or exhausted, (This school year only. He was diagnosed in Sept) is because of me doing something to inspire what is 'in his head'.
During a Crohn's flare-up you tried to claim that he ate a 'healthy lunch' from the school cafeteria. He said he didn't eat any lunch the day you claimed that because another student took his piece of pizza. Upon further investigation and questioning of other students by you and school staff, it turned out, you had no idea what you were talking about.
Now that I have provided you (and other school staff) with information, medical evidence, specialist doctor diagnosis and logic that absolutely disputes your claims,
Now, you question whether his stomach cramps and pains are just because of dairy products and food intolerance. :ybatty:
How would I like to respond?
1. A dairy intolerance, I wish the doctors and I had thought of that!!! Everything can be all better now, our worries are over!!
2. I was a constant variable the last several years he has been going to school. If you want to point the blame for his dislike of school this year at specific person...
3. My son is not stupid. He knows your opinion, even though neither of us understand you stance or why.
4. Maybe, just maybe some people, don't express how much pain they are actually going through to those who aren't close to them. Especially those who don't seem to really want to understand or listen and whom they don't trust.
5. You're right, let me call his pediatrician and have him make a referral to you, and tell the health insurance company they need to cover my son's medical care under your great expertise.
6. Because, all cancer is the same and all cancer treatments work the same for all cancer patients, right? Same for Crohn's.
6. Yup, as a working, full-time single mother of four, I enjoy having my child miss school often for what I claim to be doctor appointments, medical procedures and treatments, just because he is 'faking' it.
7. I'm doing everything wrong, you're right. All I have to do is cut dairy out of his diet and continue forcing him to go to school when he says he feels like complete crap, so you can tell him he's fine and making it up. Forget the doctor appointments, and 'voila' he'll be healed, and be a better person for it.
8. This is my son, he is my priority (not yours), please stop making our already difficult situation worse. I wish more than anything that he could be healthy and in school everyday. I am doing my damndest to make that happen. But, please try to be understanding in the meantime. I care more about making sure he has a decent life-span and living until there is a cure than about him getting exceptional grades in school.
9. Okay, give-up all of your sick days and disability. However crappy you are feeling, go to work anyway. And, do a good job of it!!
How should I respond? How will I respond? I don't know. First I have to figure out if I'm overreacting or not reacting enough.
