Meds 3xs a day + the areosol treatments 3xs a day. (and I never saw an attack)(and he never had a hospital visit for 2 yrs) yet, when we went to the zoo she insitied I give him his required 2PM areosol treatment. our schedule was lunch 12:30-1:30 lunch, 1:30-2:30 zoo tour, then go home. (half-day pre-K program, so the schedule was tight) So, was I supposed to take the kids, drag around a heavy machine, cut back the tour and go to the first aid station to give the kid the 15 minute+ treatment? What about the other kids? She threw a fit all the way to the day, even shoving him on the bus. I had no support from the administrators. I told her bluntly, you send him, and I WON'T treat him. I won't take away from the other kids experience for this. Our bus was parked in an outer lot, requiring me to keep the machine, the 1st aid station was in the front gate away from exhibits, so going back to the station was a walk. The kids would have only a 20 minute zoo visit if I treated this one kid. I didn't treat him. She sued. I won, luckily. Name: Email: Subject
