Hey Peglem, thanks for the note. I especially loved your last bit about being called re: Munchausen's. I got a chuckle out of that one. I think that the parents on this site are intense, that is, we really want to get to the bottom of things. Interesting how some people prefer that we not be so intensely interested in pursuing whatever we can for our children's well-being.

I actually didn't find out about that until it was over and done with and the pediatrician took care of it- but it was scary to me, because had we not had the support of our pediatrician, this could have been pursued with child protective services. There have been professionals out there who disagree w/ the health choices we make for our child and who feel strongly enough about what they think is the "more right" thing to do that we could easily end up with a real struggle on our hands. We'd ultimately win, I think, but can not imagine the trauma to my daughter if someone decided she should be removed from the home until they can determine if it is safe for her. Especially since those who disagree think she needs "chemical restraint" to be safe.

 

If not for those fears- it is so ridiculous to me that anyone would think something like that, I'd think it was funny, too.
