Am I intensely paranoid to have one of these in place as a precaution/for advance planning, even though we're just now trying to arrange our first overnight away from DS? I'm just asking because it came up in conversation over the weekend, and one of our relatives-who is going to be flying to Florida next weekend for a wedding, leaving her DC in NJ-thought I was crazy for offering to email her a copy of the form I put together for this. Someone even was silly enough to comment that it was "tempting fate" and asking for something to happen (thankfully not a blood relative ) I also asked a few friends, and none of them have done this either, even though they've all been away from their DCs for at least a night at some point. It made me wonder if it's really that uncommon.
I authorize my parents and my sister (the only people he has been left with/who I would leave him with at this point) to seek emergency medical help for DS should the need arise. I even had it notarized, just in case. It just gives me peace of mind. I can't be the only one who is this paranoid, right? Right?
