First, let me start by saying that Jackson is ok.
When he arrived home after school Friday and the aide was getting him onto the lift, I immediately noticed his wheelchair was in a crazy-horrible position. He was very reclined, but in a way I have never seen before, his head was down by his laterals, not even close to being on the headrest. Any random person off the street would be able to see that it was not right, but the aide did not seem to notice that anything was wrong.
I asked her what happened and she said that he had a little mucous but she had cleaned him up and he was fine. Obviously he was not fine. As the lift came down I could see his face was covered with petechiae and he had barf all over his clothes!!! When the f---ing idiot aide messed with his chair (and you would have to try really really hard to do this) his chest harness came up around his neck and was actually CHOKING him!!!!! And she had absolutely no idea this was happening!!!!
I took him to get checked out and the dr thinks he is ok but I wanted to make sure it was all documented by the doctor too.
The principal talked to the aide and she is so clueless it is scary, she thought we were upset because he still has some stuff on his clothes and his bib was wet. He has called here several times, once offering to try to get J his own full time aide...obviously he wants to cover his ass so he doesn't get sued.
