I told difficult child I couldn't make the nurse change her rules.  Thankfully the school psychiatric walked by and heard difficult child arguing with me.  He asked her why she was so upset.  She told him the reason, and he was just as confused as I was.  He was in the same IEP last year that stated difficult child will go to the nurse's office anytime she is sick.  He was unaware of the rule changes just like I was.  He told her the same thing I did. It's the nurse's office and we can't go against her rules. He then offered for her to come into his office and throw up.  difficult child said that would be fine as long as nobody else was in there. The psychiatric assured her she would have some privacy.  Off they went, and I saw difficult child about ten minutes later being escorted back to class by a teacher's aide.  A little bit later the school psychiatric came up to me with difficult child and asked if I could excuse her for part of 6th period because she was in his office. I wrote difficult child an excused note and sent her back to her last class of the day.  I don't know why she was in there. I'm assuming it was due to anxiety.  psychiatrist appointment is later today so we'll see if he prescribes something for the anxiety and we will also talk about alternative placement for difficult child. I am super stressed right now and really don't feel like doing anything, but my kids need this so off I go in a couple of hours.</blockquote>
