I’ve found that a key to parenting medical special needs kids is learning when to freak out and when not to. I think that I make better decisions and am a better mom when I’m not panicked about something new. And yes, I keep a suitcase in the car, just in case an emergency room trip keeps us overnight. But I think that that actually makes things better. My daughter doesn’t need to see me being worried about how we will get overnight stuff because now she’s been admitted. It helps keep her from feeling bad, as though she’s caused me trouble.
