My boys (2.5 years and 8 months) were both diagnosed with adrenal insuff in May of this year- well we have had our first experiences with needing stress dosing with my older son. 

Yesterday when I picked up my older son from "school" (my little guy stays home with Daddy), he seemed a little off- by the time I got home his eyes were glassy and he just wasn’t "right"- so I felt him and boy was he warm!  He ended up having a fever of 103........... so I stressed dosed and spent all night worring...........  I even slept with him all night to make sure he was "okay".  I feel like a crazy person, but at the same time I feel like I have to do this............  mind you he stared asking to go outside after the motrin kicked in..... but still I worried. 

Do the illness become a little easier to deal with once you have been through a few?  My husband and I are still pretty new to this- we have been through a lot with both boys- I want to make sure I take care of my boys, but I don’t want to "baby" them, I want to treat them (from a mental viewpoint- obviously I know I need to medicate and take some physical precautions- within reason) like kids.

Sorry- just needed to "confess" my newly found neuroticsim (sp sorry)........  Thanks for listening (reading)
