Any website recommendations for homeschooling ill children?

I see lots of sites dedicated to homeschooling children with learning disabilities and such but I am looking for homeschooling children who are medically il. TIA

I would google "homeschool medically fragile" and see where that got you.

This looks like a good article.

I have not come across a site like you describe, but I would be interested if you find one. We did a lot of our schooling in the ER this past week. My son needed three days of IV meds. We got a surprising amount of work done there.

I thought of another idea. Look for support groups or websites for the specific illness. Often you will find others on this sites or on support lists that are homeschooling. I'm on a Children with Diabetes email support list that has a subgroup for homeschooling kids with type-1.

Thanks for the suggestions. I haven't really thought about her as medically fragile since she isn't prone to other illnesses except her main one. I completely sympathize with the poster who talked about three emergency room visits. Last week we had four doctor visits and one er trip.Plus she has opposite side effects from medicines. SHe is on one that is supposed to help prevent headaches and normally causes sleepiness. She is in the 5% who get insomnia as a side effect.
