Wow... I guess I will have to see how she does with new ileostomy next couple of weeks & see. I don’t think that homeschooling will be a good option for her. I want her to have that social interaction- as it is it’s already hard enough. That being said I would never want her to have an accident at school either because I know how horrible that would be at this fragile age. A normal tween has issues with fitting in, let alone someone who once walked around with a bag of poop on their stomach. Not many know of her situation other than staff & a few friends but kids at this age can be so cruel. Maybe I would consider holding off until next May so that it will be another whole summer to recover... feel bad to wreck another summer for her☹️. I would still like to hear from other but thank you for your input Still Standing. That must have been quite a challenge for you during that time but you made it past that!
