Sorry--Dd'd

I know it's frowned upon, but I deleted the post about my sd.  From the moment I posted it, I felt I put too much info about our situation out there. 

for the poster who asked about a video taped statement, there is one.  We have no idea why it is not sufficient.  Having to watch that tape yesterday was one of the things that sent her into a downward spiral. 

I know you ladies give it straight, and that posting here doesn't mean having your hand held and being told what you want to hear--and I am okay with that. As far as the meds...benadryl=diphenhydramine...sominex=diphenhydramine.  Same drug, approved for different uses, just depends on what otc box you pick up. No legal action or calls to lawyers necessary.  As a pharmacist, I spend half my day deciphering the otc aisle for cash strapped patients.  I spent 200k on my degree, I did not feel the need to go buy another box of a medication I already had just to make bm feel better, but in retrospect, maybe I should have.

thanks for the kind thoughts toward sd for the upcoming week, much appreciated.

    The fact that you're a pharmacist and have a professional background here does make a little bit of a difference. That changes my response.

    Yes, I would be upset. I would call my child's pediatrician and ask for his/her opinion. If the pediatrician said not to worry, then I wouldn't worry. I would probably ask to stay informed of how frequently she was getting dosed, but that's it.

    But if the parent/stepparent had no relevant professional/educational background, I would go back to my previous position.

    I would defer to DH and BM on this one.  I understand that you are a pharmacist, but I can appreciate BM's stand on not turning to medication to deal with trauma.  I agree extra sessions with a counselor is a good idea, and I would even ask if the counselor can sit in court and be available for a session after her time on the stand.
