I did not know where to post this so hope this is ok. My daughter is 11 and just started secondary school in september. She has a variety of problems(hearing impairment/heart condition/lax ligiments/low mussle tone/short stature and learning disability)
Since starting early september she has been getting more and more tired and lethargic with each week. I have started putting her to bed 1 and a half hours earilier than normal and she has been waking up later than normal but she is still tired. We have now cut out all after school activities as she was too tired to do them but even the week-ends now she does not pick up and she looks pale and ill. She never used to be ill enough to miss school before but it seems to be one thing after another since september. I am going to take her to the doctor in the next holiday if this carries on but i was wondering if anyone else is having the same problem. I wonder if it is related to her heart condition and short stature as they have do loads of walking from classroom to classroom carrying a heavy backpack. Anyway any thoughts would be great.
