Trust.
Helping care for some friends severely disabled 3 yr old daughter I was comforting and reassuring her after a nocturnal seizure which always distressed her. Normally I would kneel at the side of the bed but on theis occasion I couldn't get the rail to lower. As I could be there for quite some time till she settled I clambered over the rail and lay down next to her on top of the bedding.
I'd been there a while when from the door behind me I heard her father ask "Is she ok?" I jumped a mile as I hadn't heard him coming and from where he was it would have been extremely easy to jump to the wrong conclusion. I replied n the affirmative and he carried on to his room and after a few more minutes while she dozed off I returned to my bed for a few hours till the next seizure.
