School nurse is an idiot

i know this may be a little off the exact topic. but have you ever tried going to the chiropractor for her asthma? we have more than several patients in our office just specifically for asthma and 100% of them have had enough improvement to either stop using their inhalers entirely, have no attacks in at least the last 6 months (i havent had one person tell me or the doctor about one) and 2 have went to the doctor and the doctor couldnt find any symptoms/signs that they presently had or ever had asthma. i just wanted to let you know that there is an option out there to help your daughter out so you dont ever have to think about going through this ridiculous situation ever again. it terrified me to think of her sitting there not being able to breathe and having no one help her. i would be furious and calling everyone... the newspaper...evvvveryone. that is unacceptable. but yes please pm me and i will look up chiropractors in your area to make sure you are going to one that is worth it and that will help your daughter.

Thanks for the concern. Abrey hasn't had an attack in 5 years. She was playing basket ball and took a hit to the chest that knocked the wind out of her. This triggered the attack as far as we know. We will watch to see how things go now...I am hoping she won't keep having them

I met with the principal, and he listened to everything I said, and was taking notes... even stopped me to make sure he got it all... He had a meeting with the head of the fire and rescue right after me to talk to people out side of the school system and find as much out as he could. I saw the chef of fire and rescue waiting when I left...

The principal told me he would be talking to my daughter and to the gym teachers and the other people involved... He was not happy. He even said why not be on the side of caution. He would rather call rescue and have them say theres no emergency then to have one arise because of waiting...



Thanks for all your concern, it feels good to vent a little and have others agree with you! Your all so great to talk with!

Well done Brooke!
If we don't speak up for our kids, who will? Hopefully your daughter will never have something like this happen again, but even so, it's good that you've made this known so hopefully the nurse will take the next child/parent seriously. You might have saved a life simply by speaking up.

Way to go Brooke. We sometimes just have to take a stand. I hope your daughter never has to go through something like this again. Best wishes to you and your daughter.

Brooke, be sure and follow up on this and find out what the principal really did and decided. We've had administrators give us lip service before. They act all concerned and like they are checking into things, but they made a show of checking and really blew us off.

So sad this had to happen to you and your daughter. As has been said, we trust these people to be professionals and take care of our most precious possessions, or children, and they so frequently fail. They are human, too, but should err on the side of safety.
