Chachi, I am so sorry to hear you lost a child to congenital heart disease. I'm sure it breaks your heart to watch this child's life essentially "not be valued" by her parents w their actions towards her health. I'm sure they do not realize that is what it looks like to others, but I'm sure this is upsetting to watch.
Maybe you and your husband could call the school nurse together and ask for her help. I'm sure the call would be kept anonymous and most health care workers are very concerned about a child's health and wellbeing. Perhaps she could set up meetings to meet w the parents and arrange to have them meet w school nutritionists to help get this going (and w the school already making increased PT for her, your phone call would not be suspected).
I wish you luck w whatever the two of you decide.
