I'm with you on the school. My daughter's high school said they
couldn't kick her out but said they would not offer any assistance in
getting her through her senior year. Then she missed another day and
the school called to tell me that there is no way they would pass
her. Turned out to be a blessing because I got her in another school
district with filled with caring people. She did her senior year
there and they managed to get her a full scholarship for a year at a
near-by college. Fast forward 5 years...she is still sick. Some
weeks worse than others. Still vomiting regularly but hasn't had to
be hospitalized in almost 6 months. 10 months without vomiting is
wonderful. Here's hoping he can do it again. This condition is very
hard on the parents too. I joined this group as a way to feel that
we are not alone and others can understand how hard it is for parents
to feel so helpless. Hang in there.

long? or were you on a new med of some sort that helped? I think I
would just lie to the school about the symptoms if they are not
flexible with the rule... I remember the old days when our
pediatrician told us no solids for 24 hours after the last
vomiting.... we learned on our own before being diagnosed that rule
is absurd with cvs! good luck, Mimi
