Sounds like your small company helps you in other ways. Time off a special needs child is a huge perk and more valuable to me than say a 10% raise. Are you ready for this perk to end? If so peruse the other jobs if not be content where your at

As a father of a special needs child, the importance of this can not be understated.

I have had to miss work several times during the 8 years I have been at my current job due to my daughters condition and my boss/company's owner has had no issues.

Leaving for a new company, even one that pays more, may put that "drop of a hat" availability to tend to your sons needs in jeopardy.
