Sure hope your dd gets to feeling real, real better real, real fast Tracy.
And getting caught up at school is always tough, no matter how intelligent a person is.
Even now I can remember back to those days ...

Thanks so much TT! Last year was hell, let me tell ya. I was so scared. She just laid in her bed day after day with head pain, stomach pain, dizzy and woozy, very tired. Hot then cold, she lost a ton of weight. I had her to doctors, then specialists, counselling. No one knows for sure what it was, but each time she gets to not feeling well, we both get very nervous.
To catch up we started her with tutoring for a few hours a couple of times per week, when she still couldn't handle a full day back at school. Then she progressed to school plus tutoring, and also made up work during study halls and after school 3 days per week. It was hell and God willing, we never go there again. I was one worried, stressed out Mom.
At the time I didn't have medical
insurance for her so was trying to get by on paying out of pocket for doctors visits and school excuses. We may have missed the opportunity to find out for sure what it was then. Finally took her to the hospital where they did a few tests, all of which were negative. They didn't feel they needed to do any invasive testing because of her being so young. (16 at that time) I really feel that they were thinking "this kid doesn't want to go to school". When her stomach started acting up last SUMMER, it squashed that theory and they sent her to a specialist who again did some tests, but nothing too invasive (scope) then pushed us toward counselling. Counselor and Psych said there's nothing wrong with her mentally, it has to be medical.
I swear they make me nuts! .......Thanks for letting me vent!!!
