Fighting for our kids is very exhausting, but so worth the battles.<BR/><BR/>I've had my own hard day with special needs we live with that can't be "fixed" so my heart is heavy for you as I read this.<BR/>Blessings,<BR/>~Toni~Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318409820949377086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780625.post-6943270448526809902008-08-01T13:13:00.000-04:002008-08-01T13:13:00.000-04:00Hi! I'm a mom to a special needs child as well. O...Hi! I'm a mom to a special needs child as well. One of the things that insurance companies likes to do is turn people down. If you appeal a time or two they very well might grant it. Also I don't know where you live but some states have something that helps parents pay for bills. In Illinois it is called Department of Specialized Care for Children. They help cover the costs of things that insurance doesn't. You may want to see what is offered locally. Unfortunately these resources are never "offered up". You might want to see if your peditrician has a case manager that you can work with and call your local Easter Seals. Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780625.post-81280945869067977632008-08-01T00:36:00.000-04:002008-08-01T00:36:00.000-04:00Sorry to hear the disappointing news about the sup...Sorry to hear the disappointing news about the supplemental insurance. It's frustrating to want to get the best possible help as soon as possible but come up against the wall of financial demands. You seem to be having a good attitude though...taking it a day at a time, celebrating every small victory in his progress, and not giving up hope. I know it breaks a mother's heart to think about the possibility of unfulfilled hopes for their child, but you know you can trust that God has intentions for Joe's life beyond what you can even dream for him. What a comfort that can be! Hang in there!<BR/><BR/>~April~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
