Has anyone observed the dog in the classroom? has anyone asked the students - or parents - of her classmates if anyone IS allergic to dogs? I would think the dog would be a great asset to the classroom of an epileptic child. Mikki's warning to Cheyenne would also be a warning to the teacher and other students so they need no be frightened when Cheyenne does have a seizure. Desensitizing students to the effects of epilepsy can only help. A seizure is a very very scary thing to witness. How much less frightening would it be if the person is prepared, and in a safer place!
