If you are going to use the screws again with it then it probably doesn’t matter. Just move them to a new spot to get a good bite. I would use the construction adhesive (like liquid nails). It’s a cheap bed so I wouldn’t overthink it.

Good thing clamps are cheap. And you would probably be good with wood glue, but switching to construction adhesive would be extra strong. If it’s good enough to hold your floor together, it’s good enough for your bed.

Construction adhesive, wood clamps and move the screws to another spot would be my vote. Since it would be connected the entire length of the board it would be much stronger even if connected to fake wood.

Word of advise, focus on your marriage too. >50% of parents that have a child with a life threatening illness end up divorcing. Realize that everyone has their own way of grieving and that grief will happen no matter the outcome.

In terms of finances, check with your state laws about Children with Chronic Conditions Supplemental Items, or something along that. The child’s healthcare may be paid for depending on your state.

I’ve never had to have a doctors note (nor written one for someone) to buy something that is already approved on the list. My understanding though is it should be something your “condition” needs. For example, I purchased a very expensive stethoscope with my funds and could do that because I have high blood pressure. For your, everyone has skin so go ahead and buy sunscreen.

Some times you do need physician letters but for items that specify you need it. For example, exercise equipment is on that list and I have written a letter saying I recommended exercise and had specific amounts of use per week for their condition as treatment. Even this could be applied to a number of conditions, from weight loss to depression to high blood pressure.
