School sent a letter home today warning parents of an outbreak of norovirus (or similar) in school.
Dh has been seriously ill for the past two years with terrible gastric problems and has recently been diagnosed with BAM (Bile Acid Malabsorption) and is on a long road to recovery.
Ds is in reception and Dh picked him up from school today. When dh read the letter he went back to the teacher and told her that he couldn't risk catching norovirus as he would probably end up in hospital and we would be keeping our son home for a few days. She said she understood and we would get a call in the morning to discuss it.
I want to compose an email to explain our position but I also want to let the school know that we don't take absence lightly (ds has already been sent home/off sick twice) and as dh recovers his health this sort of thing won't be a regular occurance. Do you think this is a good idea and is there anything else I could/should say?
