[quote=Anonymous] OP - Remember, too, unless your daughter has limited capacity in some manner, that she must become her own advocate and understand the various aspects of her medical conditions. If you are a single parent, it is probably very, very important to have not only a will, but a designated power of attorney, health care directive and health care proxy for yourself, who is not your daughter as she may be in the midst of health issues herself. AND to get your daughter to sign appropriate papers designating a trusted person you could could possibly count on to help through the maze of doctors if she is likely to always need some support. The best thing you can do for any new doctor is to keep detailed records on hand of all of the conditions, tests done, doctors/medical centers treated at. At least you are near a number of top hospitals including NIH. As noted, give yourself some pampering now and on a regular basis to keep a balance in life.[/quote]
