Re: Medical Consent forms/and frustration

[Guest guest]

By notarized do you mean that all four of us would sign it and then

the notary would sign it too? That is not a problem. I just want

to prevent any headaches for them while we are gone. If they were

to have a fender bender and want Zach checked by a doctor, I don't

want them to get hassled by a hospital bureaucrat.

Thanks for the info!
