Listen to me
What right does the Law have to determin who you listen to first????A parent should always be herd first.But were not.NOBODY knows your child like you or themselves.Let me tell you my story.Yesterday my son after having a 1 and a half hour meeting with the school,was sent to the emergincy room for absalutly no reason.he is a type 1 diebetic,and he chose to do something stupid.he had 2 slurpies and 2 orange jucies for lunch.causin his sugar to read HI on his meeter.he is suposed to go to the clinic befor lunch to take his insulin.but bein the 12 year old boy he is, he forgot to go.so he whent right after lunch.but because the PAPER WORK from the docter,said befor lunch they refused to give him his insulin.Here it really gets good,they called his dad.and said,he had a HI sugar,you have 15 minutes to get here or were callin 911.he said we were in ft,myers and wed be there within the hour.And to give him some of his insulin.There responce was we cant do that we dont have orders on the PAPERWORK.So i called them emediatly and said DO NOT call 911,they said we had no choice theyr on the way.I said all he needs is his insulin Im on my way DONOT let him go anywhere.i then got to the school,whent inside and said where is my son,they said he was transported to the hospital,witch was NOT nessery.Once again all he needed was his insulin.So because of the LAW the school nurse felt the need to pertect herself.By callin 911 and causin a bunch of issues that never needed to become issues.The problem is schools need a plan writtin in stone on PAPER.on how to treat a diebetic.There is no such thing ,every diebetic is different,but yet we as the parents have no say in his desease.Parents should be listened to first,The PAPERWORK is and should only be guidlines.So by them dion this,his blood sugar stayed HI for 6 hours in stead of 1 or 2 hours,imbarresd him in school cuz they took him out on a streatcher,and it will cost me at least 5,000 dollars.He was not in danger he is not in ketoneasitoses,he had a fast sugar that could have been takin care of right there in the clinic,with HIS insulin in there refridgearater.What right does the LAW have to say PAPERWORK comes befor parents.Those of you who has a diabetic child,knows they are still children,who do things they shouldnt.a child is a child.this desease wont change that.But NOBODY KNOWS YOUR CHILD BETTER THEN YOU.Not even the doctors who right up the GUIDLINES on the PAPERWORK
