Thais,

You should call 911, tell them you have an adult with autism that needs

immediate transport to the hospital, suspected sprained ankle, and take him to

the hospital. I know for sure that Medicare picks up about $700 of the $1000

charge the city levies for ambulance transport, so have to imagine that Medicaid

would pick up at least that much. Don't quote me on that, but how could they

not pick up at least some of the cost?

This assumes, of course, you don't have any neighbors who could help. Safely.

Does anyone know the number to call in Naperville to get transportation to the

hospital that is covered by medicaid? I just called the fire dept and they said

naperville doesn't have non emergency transport only ambulences and their not

sure if they are covered.

Called a medical transport service who said it would take 3-5 business days.

I tried to carry Quentin to the toilet this morning and not only is he too

heavy, he screamed in pain and tried to pull my hair out. He has a badly

sprained ankle (I think )following a seizure yesterday so I need to get him to

but don't have anyone to help me carry him downstairs into the car.

For now I gave him ibuprofin and he is sleeping.

Thanks,

Thais

Thanks Laurie,

2 minutes after posting I got a call from the chief EMS in Naperville who

clarified that they would transport an injured person to the hospital if I

called 911, which they did. Just shows you never know who is lurking on

IPADDUnite.

I didn't call any neighbors because Quentin started pulling my hair and

screaming in pain when I tried to carry him to the toilet so I thought I should

let the pros do it safely.

I did however get several calls from neighbors offering to pick us up, bring

dinner or help in any way so I feel truly blessed.

Thankfully, Quentin doesn't have anything broken but the sprain is so sever that

he has to stay off it for at least a week. The doctor asked if he could use

crutches, I said that depends for what, so we have a wheelchair.

Thank goodness you have a happy ending to the story. What a day for you and for

Quent, though!

Hope he's on the mend soon. You take care, too.

Thais,

 

I hope he didn't do this distributing flyers!  I'm glad you have a good sense

of humor; I liked your comment about the crutches.  My son had knee surgery at

age 6.  The first cast went on easily since he was not conscious.  The second

one, put on after they took a saw to the first one, was done with three adults

holding him down.  They never should have let him see the saw.

 

Best regards,

 

Margie
