These reasons are in no particular order as to priority, but I'll start with an easy one. Peanut allergy. When my oldest was diagnosed with peanut allergy at age 15 months, it was such a nightmare. For years, touching or even smelling peanuts could cause a reaction. Taking her out of the house was sometimes dangerous. Putting her in a classroom situation was not an option for her. The stress of worrying about the next exposure would have been bad for the emotional and physical health of my daughter and our family.
Now, she is better. Her allergies have improved, and now touch and smell of peanut products do not affect her. She can even ingest as much as 1/8 (yes, that's one eighth) teaspoon with only a mild reaction. However, peanut allergy reaction seems to be fluid, meaning that the severity ebbs and flows.
She still carries an epi-pen with her when we leave the house.

ON THE NIGHTSTAND
I'm currently removing the dangerous tower of books from my nightstand before I end up like Flat Stanley. Check back for book recommendations later.
