My wife and I were always planning on it but were going to put them (were expecting our second on thanksgiving) in until the 2nd/3rd grade. That way we could have a third and she would not have to be home sick (she gets hyperemesis during the first trimester), pregnant, and watching two kids alone for 9 hours a day.
I'm hopeful firstly that all of our days are numbered and after having time to sleep on it I realize that there are far worse things that could have happened (though yesterday I felt like she was handed a death sentence). If God blesses her with a spirit inclined towards him she could be allergic to air and I should be grateful.
I do hope that she will outgrow it as about 1/5 kids do, I just would prefer her not have to go through life sticking herself with an epipen...

Do consider that the Homeschooling community is really into helping each other.
I'm going to be in the hospital for 4 days starting tomorrow. I can't tell you the amount of people who have volunteered to, take my kids (and continue lessons), bring us meals and do my laundry. I have taken meals and have watched kids while the mom was in the hospital myself.
Your wife might just find that sending the kids to school is not as helpful as being a homeschooling mom at that time.
Just a thought!
