My 44 year old daughter has Down Syndrome. She’s been living on her own for 13 years. She has a case manager that brings her shopping and to medical appointments when needed. I have power of attorney over her. I made sure that she did not get the clot shot. When she came down with Covid pneumonia and was admitted to the hospital . I was aloud to go with her because of her mental condition. I told the doctor that she was not to get remdesivir or put on a ventilator. Fortunately she only had to be put on oxygen and steroids and fully recovered. She’s the light of my life and still spends weekends with me.

God bless you for ensuring that she has a beautiful life, as independent as possible, and for protecting her in ways she can't protect herself.
