AIBU to think she could go to school?

[CannaeBeErsed]

DD (8) had a migraine today (localised agonising pain, visual disturbance and aversion to light and loud noises) and she vomited.
She went and slept in a dark room for a couple of hours and then was fine. Totally back to normal before dinner time.

She wants to go to school tomorrow but school, for obvious reasons have a exclusion for 48 hours after vomiting rule. AIBU to want to send her in knowing she doesn't have a tummy bug or anything transmittable?

I think I'm going to ask at reception tomorrow when I take the other kids in as I wouldn't want to just send her in and her blab about her throwing up and I'd be known as THAT mum...

If you ask at reception they will say to keep her off.

Of course YANBU. Her vomiting is a symptom of a medical condition. She isn't going to be spreading anything around.

I think your plan is a good one, only I'd make it clear at reception what answer I expected: "By the way she did vomit yesterday but that was definitely the result of a migraine. You don't want me to keep her home for it, do you?"

I would and have accepted a child into class in exactly that situation. It's the side effect of a medical condition not a bug.

I would just send her in and not mention it. If anyone asks, be clear that she vomited once as a result of her migraine.

My ds has a tendency to wretch and vomit regularly. I explained this to school and they were OK with me making a judgement.

I agree that it should be fine to send her in. My brother always used to vomit with migraine, it was the only way he could get rid of them.

Absolutely not catching in any way (which is the reason for the exclusion, of course) so I can't see why they'd even want her to stay off - sense should be employed by the school. I'd be tempted to not even tell them about the vomiting, just the migraine - but if you feel you must then yes, say it was definitely part of the migraine and nothing else.

My DS kept getting sent home from school for vomiting or feeling like it on arrival at school. He travelled to school by taxi and if the driver was a bit wild around the country lanes DS would get travel sickness. He got travel sickness if we ever went for an afternoon out at the weekend too.

School wanted to apply the 48 hour rule until I mentioned that he wouldn’t be in any Monday and possibly Tuesday after a weekend when we’d been in the car, and also the days when the fast taxi driver was on duty. They saw sense.

Yeah there is a difference between vomiting because they've eaten too much crap or because of other medical issues compared to a sickness d and v type thing.
My kids have been sick because of coughing due to a cold.
Vomiting doesn't automatically mean 48 hrs off school.
As a parent you can't win, keep them off every time they puke, you've got school on your case about attendance, send them you're infecting the school.
Use your judgement kids puke for loads of reasons, if you feel it's not infectious, send them
