Gas leak at Maui Prep prompts concerns from parents
Beginning in January, Amy Oppedisano says her fourth grade son couldn’t shake chronic nausea and headaches. Multiple doctors appointments and tests weren’t getting him closer to a diagnosis and he was racking up absences at Maui Preparatory Academy in Lahaina.
“There would be days where he would just lay in his bed next to a trash can,” said Oppedisano.
His father, Derek Peterson, said they explored numerous medical possibilities, including whether it was a psychological response, maybe to being bullied at school or just not wanting to go. But nothing fit.
