We’re OK sharing information about her condition with concerned family and friends in our children’s school group. I want to respect Izzy’s medical privacy, but I also don’t want to arouse suspicion that we’re hiding something. We now believe that this same person reported us to child protective services on the suspicion that our home was somehow medically unfit for our children to live in. I’m wondering if I should come up with a bare-minimum response to avoid the busybodies and others, like child protective services, getting involved when we’re already overwhelmed dealing with this as a family. -- Medical MamaDear Medical Mama: The stress you and Izzy are carrying doesn’t fall under the small talk umbrella.
