How many times have I thought those words. Not a very nice term, but quite accurate. As a mom of an eleven year old with lifelong disabilities, I have decisions to make. Doctors can advise, recommend, prescribe, but often there are decisions to make with no black and white answers.
Parents ultimately make the decisions.
Seeing it in writing can help. Yes, daily therapy may be ideal, but other members of the family have needs, too, and there are the small issues of dinner and laundry. Make the decision based on the information you have at the moment. Get a lot of information. Talk to other parents with children with similar problems.
