I went through the same problem with my daughter.  She wasw 9 when diagnosed with non-classical CAH and said she could no longer attend IN CASE she needed an injection in an emergency.  I was a very faithful Catholic at the time and the Diocese wouldn’t budge at all.  I sat in school with her until they decided to get some nurses on a voluntary basis.  My this time it was a very public issue.  It was on all the news stations and newspapers.  The Diocese was really feeling the heat from the public --  the public was in support of us.  The didn’t care that I could be there within 10 minutes; I had a doctor’s office who was five minutes away who offered their services; nothing satisfied them until the public got angry.   There was a private Catholic Academy who offered to take her.   The price of course was tripled  and I have three children.  I would talk to your Pastor and then go up the chain.  I am no longer Catholic.  My daughter had thought God turned her back on her because of the Bishop’s decision -- it was awful.  I’m sure there are some great Bisdhops and dioceses.  I was just so hurt that they would turn their back on us when we needed them. 

 

I wish you luck and will pray for you and your daughter.
