I have always given 2.5/5mg extra for any activety that is outside Liam's normal routine. examples include: birthday parties, christmas morning, swimming gala, end of grade tests etc.  If some activety is outside his daily routine I give him a little extra.  Starting a new school i gave him 5mg extra first day, 2.5mg the second day.  When we go to Disney land I will give extra the first day because emotionally he will be fine the second day. When I have asked an endo to give me a logical medical explanation with proof that our kids do not need extra HC when emotionally stress they um and ahh alot and its not discussed again.  As I stress to them this extra HC is not a normal thing and over the course of the year we will be lucky to do it a handful of times but for us it is necessary.
