Firstly I wanted to say that there is probably not a single parent on this board who does not identify with your fear. Alisa, my daughter is four and half years old, when I first returned to work when she was 6 months old, I must have rung the child minder ( a very good friend), every ten minutes, and every time I knew Alisa was due her meds. I don't know how but slowly you will learn to put trust in others, and let go. They are very special children our little ones, however they can lead normal lives, if we let them. As you know there are many conditions out there were children are on meds for life. I was petrified when Alisa first started nursery, I was worried about how she would cope with the stress of all these new people, would she pick up 'germs' from the other kids and become ill, would they remember to give her meds, would they know what to do in an emeregency. Well she coped brilliantly, has had not suffered unduly from the germs she picked up, and the nursery coped very well, when she had her first crisis there a couple of months back. Have faith in yourself and those around you, I'm not sure how old your daughter is but I think as they get older it gets easier. When ever Alisa is ill I feel guilt because i work, but why? I have to work for financial reasons, and if Alisa is going to be ill she will be wether I am at home or not, doesn't stop me though. I think talking to everyone on the board helps because we all know eaxctly what the others a talking about. Take care Sophina
