Fight to be on that bus, if they really won't let you then you have to get the 504 plan in place and consider calling in the big guns, our kids are protected by the Disabled Americans Act. If all else fails, the only other option I could think of is to meet the bus at the school, check Biddy's BG, then follow the bus, wrong turns and all, tailgate if you have to, tell the bus driver about the situation, I bet the bus driver would rather have you on the bus in case of emergency. I think you (or Biddy's mom) is on the right track with getting that 504 plan in place and field trips are something you have to include in that. My kid's school insists that I go with my daughter on her field trips as the nurse generally doesn't go. If I don't go then Kortnie doesn't go, and it's not fair to deny them the fun that their friends are having. Good luck, don't worry about that target on your back, you're only a mom doing the best for your kid.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785514225376460577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-452676622867867868.post-54316296167739868822010-12-27T00:00:51.054-06:002010-12-27T00:00:51.054-06:00I would like to know what Biddy's school's...I would like to know what Biddy's school's PLAN B is when there's an accident and the bus gets stuck in traffic...or a tire blows...or they take a wrong turn and somehow gets separated from the Mom?<br /><br />Furthermore, I'd like Biddy's mom to know that we all have those targets on us somewhere.

I check bg's before Justin (about same age as "Biddy") gets on and just follow the bus. <br /><br />The teacher this year made me ride with them and actually said that if there was no room... he could go in the car with me. <br /><br />BUT, when Justin gets excited... his bg tanks. I guess it goes back to knowing the situation.<br /><br />His 504 does state that I go on field trips... maybe that makes a difference.Lorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07192247387107228743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-452676622867867868.post-41679412920236274142010-12-18T00:58:40.734-06:002010-12-18T00:58:40.734-06:00IMO a trained person needs to be with the child at...IMO a trained person needs to be with the child at all times. There needs to be a trained person on the bus, if the school is not going to provide a trained person, then mom and or dad should be on the bus. Period. I don't care if the child is 5 or 12 or somewhere in between. Dx yesterday or 7 years ago, they are children and don't need to be forced to "be responsible". A medical emergency can happen in a matter of seconds. Bitty's mom needs to stick to her guns and not worry about what other people think.

And the outside observer part of me says . . . .three months is not very long to have a handle on anything So to the hypothetical mommy (and I respectfully quote the Doodlebops here) "Get on the bus!" By the by, isn't it usually the people in this world who are trying to do the right thing that end up with a target on their back whatever that right thing may be?

What ...OK AMY...I am here for this sort of SHIT. <br /><br />What if the bus gets caught in traffic, Biddy becomes LOW and her brain cells are fucking starved for sugar and she cannot think for herself and she CANNOT treat herself. Absolutely NO, it is NOT ok to deny the mom from being on that bus.<br /><br />My district requires me to be ON THAT BUS whenever Joe goes on a field trip OR they will hire a school nurse.<br /><br />THIS IS NOT OK. Joe drops 200 plus points in 2 hours after his breakfast...that is 100 or more points and hour...that is dangerous if not kept tabs on by appropriately trained personnel.<br /><br />You are on it mama...stick to your guns!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895126112651188056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-452676622867867868.post-65663197996532145812010-12-17T15:52:42.084-06:002010-12-17T15:52:42.084-06:00I don't have any experience with this, but if ...I don't have any experience with this, but if I were Biddy's Mom, I would stick to my guns and not give a flying crap what the school may think of me. And I would ride that bus and even start up the "99 bottles of whatever is politically correct these days" song.<br /><br />Because I know what is best for my child, and if my gut is telling me to go on the bus ride, then that is what I'll do.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030783893373288244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-452676622867867868.post-60540277306577617412010-12-17T14:35:54.725-06:002010-12-17T14:35:54.725-06:00Is part of the problem that the mom isn't lega...Is part of the problem that the mom isn't legally aloud on the bus for some reason? Could she fill out a CORI form, sign a waiver exempting the school district of responsability for HER safety, and then get on? I truly don't see the reason for the push-back from the school. No room on the bus? I don't know. <br /><br />Our school district policy is that I am informed ahead of time for all field trips. Either myself or my husband is asked if we're available to attend the trip. If we can't then a school nurse (not necessarily OUR nurse, but one from the district) must attend. That being said, last year we had a similar trip as it was only about 20 minutes away. I chose to drive separately and meet the class there. The nurse checked her before she got on the bus to ensure she was in a safe range. She was fine on the bus, but went low during a presentation.

Longer than that, they should definitely have a trained person along!<br /><br />That being said...if this isn't really a hypothetic, I'd be ripping a new one for all of those people at the school who are trying to say this trip should be embraced as an opportunity for an 8-year-old to practice responsibility! How dare they think it's their place to tell someone how to raise their diabetic child and when to hand over the reins!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05515030663618274693noreply@blogger.com
