Corysmom,
You are probably going to have to be the strong voice of advocacy for your son at this point in time. Your school should offer support for home study while he is dealing with this physical ailment. If he could study from home he could catch up quickly and stay on track for this school year, and then maybe rejoin his classmates next year when his physical symptoms are more under control. Being able to study from home eliminates all the obstacles that are presently making him be 9 weeks behind in his studies. Your school should provide this--this is a service available at all public schools. However, you may have to push for it. You may have to be in the principal's office, the vice principal's office, the school counselor's office, the school nurse's office, all the teacher's classrooms, talking, talking, talking to each one privately, bringing printed material, bringing material from his doctor, etc., etc., etc. until they get the point and accomodate your son. He needs you to do this for him at this point in time. It's really too embarrassing a situation for a teen to be able to work this all out himself. He needs an advocate. You can do this. You love him like no other person on earth.
