My daughter was homebound for 2 1/2 years, but we were very lucky to have a receptive school district willing to work with us. Instead of classifying my daughter as 504, the school suggested "other health impaired" classification to better protect her for absences and testing (even though she had been in gifted classes). As my daughter improved, we worked out a process where if she felt good, she would go to school. Her homebound teacher coordinated all homework and tests since my daughter was not on the class rolls. One important issue to get across with the teachers is to omit the "busy work". Your homework needs to be limited to what it takes to understand the subject matter. If my daughter understood her math homework by doing every third problem, then that was adequate for her teacher. The first eighteen months were horrible - half the time she missed homebound. She was in and out of the hospital for migraines. Homebound sessions were conducted in bed. An occipital nerve stimulator implant improved her migraines. She was eventually able to attend school in spurts. In her IEP, she always had a "buddy" walk with her because she passed out by herself in the bathroom. Our school always offered hardcopies of notes because of the brain fog. The principal was going to try to video tape the lessons - but we never got that to work right. My daughter was diagnosed when she was 10 years old. She finally started improving when she was 14. She is now back in school full time and is on the swim team. She still has insomnia, migraines, and pots flares but is back in GT classes. Two years ago I never imagined she would ever be able to attend school. So I want to offer you some hope.
