I really appreciate your tips. Having a letter about emergency treatment from your doctor sounds like a good way to inform those who are doing your treatment. My son has asthma, so I want to get a plan in case we have any emergencies with him or anyone else in my family. I should figure out where a good treatment center is.
So glad our tips could help and yes, please get that plan together soon. If you need any help, please feel free to send an email so I will see it quickly. Best wishes.
