Another T1 in her class is HUGE and will help Sweets feel connected!! One of 5 kids in the school? You can bet that nurse is knowledgeable AND likely understands all D kids have different needs. Im so happy to hear this, my heart is just smiling for you!<br /><br />I can honestly say I was a freakish worried D Mom every school year until Maddison hit the more independant age of around 10...even WITH an amazing school Nurse....I know how you are feeling!! It WILL be fine, I hope you soon can "feel" that, without just "knowing" it.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17009502794324247532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255735347955921173.post-36791228442994590972012-08-07T10:52:20.020-04:002012-08-07T10:52:20.020-04:00The value of a good school nurse is priceless.

I wrote a letter to the principal at the end of the year to let her know that, and plan to every year both as praise for the nurse's work and dedication, and a reminder of how very important a good nurse is to my child.Mary McQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12173773957665121413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255735347955921173.post-69974701360867274202012-08-07T09:30:26.651-04:002012-08-07T09:30:26.651-04:00This school sounds awesome for Sweets and I'm ...This school sounds awesome for Sweets and I'm sure she will do great! How neat to have another T1 in her class too! I do understand the feelings leading up to all this...I'm a nervous wreck about Nat starting 1st grade now with being on the pod. I don't even know where to start on preparing the school, since I don't feel prepared myself!NikDuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00339827779693006419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255735347955921173.post-34576948970068697622012-08-07T09:24:50.767-04:002012-08-07T09:24:50.767-04:00That is such a hard day! I remember the first day ...That is such a hard day! I remember the first day back after dx, I cried the whole way home and carried my phone everywhere. The nurse called and checked in every 2 hrs that week, then eased me into a once a day and finally weekly check ins. It sounds like your daughter will have a great support system there and maybe you can take a lunch break to breath now without counting any carbs! In few weeks anyway, when you aren't calling to check on your daughter. <br />I can't believe there are still places where there is no nurse!I just dropped off my T1 5th grader for the first day of school. I had a nice talk with the nurse, who updated me on the training she did yesterday for the classroom teachers, the PE teachers, the lunch aides, the bus driver, and the guidance couselor who takes over when the nurse is gone. I am so grateful for the legal protections we have that make our lives easier as moms and keep our kids safe.Jannethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06095482100015966340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255735347955921173.post-49149952038080619142012-08-07T07:27:39.841-04:002012-08-07T07:27:39.841-04:00Oh sweetie, she WILL be fine.

Look at the set up - the nurse, the T1s - it's such a support system there in this school for her. First grade will rock!Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11137611120689810820noreply@blogger.com
