School Nurse Update. Last Friday Debbie and I met with the District head nurse, Special Ed Coordinator, and Avery's teacher to go over Avery's IHP (Individual Health Plan) as well as if they could provide Nursing coverage in the morning based on Avery's needs. The district Nurse contacted Avery's medical doctor, as well as Dr. Feyma, her neurologist. I also spoke with Dr. Feyma earlier in the week, to share with him what was going on, and discuss our thoughts on the matter.
Our meeting began at 2pm, and right away we were told that they would be bringing in a Nurse! She is currently working parttime in the district, looking for more hours. She is going to cover Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the District head nurse will be there on Weds mornings. She had put together the IHP prior to the meeting, which we reviewed during the meeting. The IHP is a thorough document, stating what to be looking for, in all states of seizures, and when to initiate the seizure protocol, and administer the diastat.
First day with the nurse on site begins tomorrow, and she will be sitting in the classroom with Avery to get to know her better, and observe her (subclinical) myoclonic seizures for a few weeks. Please pray that all goes well!
