Should I let my 12-yr old go to public school with sickle cell anemia?

I’m so sorry to hear what your daughter has had to deal with in her life. Also, it must be frightening for the parents too.
Has she attended any school so far or has she been homeschooled?
What are the opinions of her hematologist and gastroenterologist?
I assume that the risk of any infection increases the risk of a sickle cell attack.
Also, is she on immunosuppressives for Crohn’s?

She has never been to public school. Her gastroenterologist said that he's ok with it, as many kids go to school with Crohn's. However, her hematologist has her doubts based on the severity of her anemia. Yes, she is on immunosuppresives.
