allergy vent

EJ got sent home from school today, after I had kept her home one day last week for the same thing.  Her eyes get red and glassy from the pollen in the air. She is on a nasal spray and an oral med to help with her symptoms and I understand the freakout over the red eyes... but still.  grumble grumble grumble.

K has her home, and after a warm compress or two she was perfectly fine.

  • That stinks.

    If your daycare is aware of her allergy issues, I can't understand why they have such an issue.  Would a doctors note help?  Or can you ask them to do a warm compress and see if it improves before they call?

  • Amy, they called K, so I am not totally sure what transpired. But I will be talking to the director about what they can do to keep her from being sent home every time we have a high pollen count and she spends too much time outside.

  • That stinks Amanda. Allergies are terrible in general, and it seems like this is a particularly bad year.

    I had that issue with daycare with Michael. Between his dermagraphic skin and the start of his eczema they were calling me all the time to c
