The stander is still on back order. Our insurance ended up not paying for it which I am not real happy about. Long story short I learned a good leason from this. I will never order another piece of equipment until I have the letter in my own hands. I went off what the vendor told me and he said he called my insurance company and they approved it but when it came down to it they didn't approve it. He just called to let them know he was ordering. So I am very happy we set aside that $1054.00 from our family support money so that we can cover the cost of it. Otherwise Jason and I would have to pay for it out of our own pocket.
Kylee's Throwing Up
Kylee has been sick the last couple of weeks. She started with a bad cold which she got over on her own (first time ever) but now she is back to throwing up on a daily basis but now it is twice a day instead of just once a day. She has been throwing up after her noon feed and then again after her supper feed. We thought that the increase in her seizure medication was working because she had not thrown up since we increased it but now she is throwing up more then every. I have some calls in to some of her doctors to see if we can get this figured out. I don't have any time to take off of work because I was off for 4 months with Keegan (almost 3 months before he was born and then 6 weeks after) so I can't take any trips to Milwaukee to Children's Hospital. I am hoping that the Dr's down there can work with the Dr's up here to get things figured out.
Passing of 1P36 family member
One of our 1P36 families has lost there child. Her name was Chloe and they were from Texas. She was one years old. She actually went into the hospital on her first birthday and passed away a few weeks after that. The family showed such great strength during this difficult time and I thank them for showing me that strength. I can only hope to learn from them. They stated that Chloe was only here for a short time but had taught them so much. She is now in heaven and I am sure she is running and laughing and smiling. Her family will meet her again some day in a place where there are no disabilities or pain. I saw the below poem on Alayna's site. I couldn't help but shed a tear....I thought I would share it.
Heaven’s Very Special Child
A meeting was held quite far from earth
“It’s time again for another birth,”
Said the angels to the Lord above
This special child will need much love.
Her progress may be very slow
Accomplishments she may not show
And she’ll require extra care
From the folks she meets down there.
She may not run, or laugh or play.
Her thoughts may seem quite far away.
In many ways she won’t adapt
And she’ll be known as handicapped.
So let’s be careful where she’s sent,
We want her life to be content.
Please Lord find the person who
Will do this special job for you.
They may not realize straight away
The learning role they’re asked to play,
But with this child sent from above
Comes stronger faith and richer love,
And soon they’ll know the privilege given
Their precious child so meek and mild
Is HEAVEN’S VERY SPECIAL CHILD.
