As a nurse who has worked for years with disabled and challenged children... I can tell you that 99% of their Moms worked full-time and overtime to keep the family running. There are nurses (like myself) and nannies who are trained specifically to deal with this sort of situation. They travel, live-in or whatever the parents need....and that gives the parent(s) an opportunity to spend quality time with their special needs child.
Don’t worry hun... She was fed to the Viking Kitties for lunch earlier today. She’s probably still licking her wounds and crying into her milk over on DU.
Your experience is the voice of authority in these special situations. Don't be afraid of repeating yourself.
It's amazing we always have freepers experienced and eloquent in just about any field one can think of when the rest of us need professional information.
