question for you

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

We are leaving for SLC in a couple weeks and I am getting the usual anxiety. My

company picnic is this Saturday and there will be lots of activities for kids,

thus lots of kids....and probably germs. Am I being overly cautious by not going

because I am fearful she may get sick so close to her next appointment? I keep

going back and forth, as I know we have to continue living and letting her

experience her childhood, but I also feel I have a responsibility to keep her

protected as much as I can. Thoughts please?

Thanks,

, Tasha and Steph,

Thank you for your responses. It is so helpful to talk to others who have

simular challenges to face. I now feel confidant in my decisions to not

participate. We all know it is not a guarantee, but at least I will know I did

my best. Thank you again. See you soon Steph and Matson.

Re: question for you

I don't think you are being overly cautious either....I am the same

way. I think that what our kids need is far more important than what

other people say to us during the times when we keep our kids away

from others prior to a cast change. I get it from our friends,

neighbors, and most of our family that I am too protective when it

comes to germs, exposing them to illness etc. But in the end they are

my kids, I am the one who has to take care of them when they are ill,

and now with Matson in the casting cycle, I will not sacrifice his

health just to appease other people and risk missing a casting

appointment.

Our first cast almost didn't happen because of a respiratory illness.

I will do whatever it takes to keep him healthy.

Go with your motherly instinct. She will have plenty of opportunity

for play, picnics and other functions... I keep reminding myself of

the same thing!
