A good news/bad news update ...
The good
: The school has allowed us our own action plan. The district is updating their training and school forms to account for the new design of the epi and, I think, maybe other form format improvements.
The bad: New allergist prefers we use their FA action plan, which frankly, I don't like as much as FAANs. Will do for now.
--------------------------------
The good: As I may have mentioned elsewhere, dd passed an IOFC although she is still having (for the most part) some minor skin reactivity and tongue itching.
The bad: It's been a bit of a battle to make sure the proper precautions are still in place at school until she fully stops having symptoms after ingesting her (former?) allergen .... EpiPen prescription, proper school allergy paperwork filled in and signed by Dr., etc.
--------------------------------
Since her current allergist no longer considers her FA condition life-threatening, we have stopped the 504 process for FA with the school. However, I don't regret going through the process.
The school nurse learned a lot about her (former?) allergen, about the interplay between asthma & FA, etc.
I learned, and I think the school learned, a lot about FA 504s
My dd still has a school health plan, she is still in a class that does not allow food in it (accept for a VERY few cases like 1/2 days - the class teacher stated reasons like lots of kids with FA, diabetes, & nutrition concerns), they are still having dd observed by cafeteria staff, her teacher is an epi delegate, etc.
--------------------------------
I am hoping her remaining symptoms will resolve, but I feel ok with the precautions we have in place at the school.
