Hello everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying their summer. As I am getting ready for my daughter to start kindergarten this month, I have been preparing my "speech" to give to the teachers and staff at her school about the her medical condition and needs when she gets sick. I feel there will be a VERY slim chance that me or my husband could not get to the school on time if she ever needs an injection from an illness ect. The only real time I could see the school ever needing to give the injection is if she has an accident on the playground. And even at that, I see myself or my husband being there at the speed of light. BUT there is that slim chance that does exist, crazier things have happened. How does everyone go about giving a signed letter of permission to their school administrator? What does it state? All I can come up with is, "If this child vomits....than we do this, and if this child has a high fever...we do this and so on." Much of what the PENS booklet directs. Then I was puzzled at what I should say. I want to say, "Me or my husband will give the injection as needed unless by some unusual occurence we cannot get there in a timely fashion, we need the school nurse to inject." yadda yadda. Something like that. But I know their first words will be....."What is a timely fashion?" Any advice or examples will be SO appreciated! Thanks!
