My heart is still racing. I think it will be a while before it slows down. I mentioned that there were questions at the workshop regarding Daughter's diabetes care. Today I received an email to follow up on the in service and clarify the plan. The in service I wasn't notified of and the plan I haven't seen. Even worst, the clarification needed reflected ignorance of why Daughter's plan requires certain things. Because she has had lows on the bus/van on her way home, she checks her blood sugar before she heads home, and if it is below a certain number she eats a snack. So they wanted clarification on what to do about insulin at the afternoon check. They were asking the house to clarify, not me.
I admit my email was not the most pleasant. I pointed out I had been promised the opportunity to review and comment on the plan before it was finalized. I said as parent and guardian, I thought I had that right and responsibility. I also reminded them that I am the expert on Daughter, and I am the one who determines her treatment plan. Her doctor writes the prescriptions based on what I am doing. I'm sure they think I am terrible now. If they also know they'd best not exclude me, that's fine.

I doubt they think you're terrible and even if they do, so what? You're concerned about your daughter's well-being, as every parent in your situation should be.
Hopefully they know that I am paying attention and they'd best not mess with Daughter. That's a good thing. I am a Mama Bear after all.
