Allergy School Forms

I know I have been gone for a while but we have had a very busy summer. I will try to let you know what we have been up to and post some cool pics real soon. In the meantime, the new school season is upon us. How can it be that this summer has flown by so fast and I wasn't even aware of the impending 1st day until it was a week away?

Like most people, I am now in full "new school year" mode with shopping for new clothes, school supplies and boxes of Kleenex. Do they really need that much Kleenex? As a Mom of a teenager with food allergies, I also need to make sure her school health forms are in order. These forms are for any medicine she may need during the school year. We have a form for Benedryl, Auvi-Q Inhaler and asthma medicine. These forms need to be signed by her doctor or allergist and included with her medicine. I have been doing this for so long that I actually forgot about them this year. I quickly filled out the forms and drove them to her allergist. I have a feeling I may be a bit late with her medical forms but I will still be there the first day of school to drop off her meds to the School Nurse.

So people, think of this as a friendly reminder to get your medical forms filled out, signed by your doctor and delivered to your school! Let the new school year begin!
