Questions about moving from Eu to US

January 4, 2010

Hi everyone!

I would first like to apologize for my bad English. I'm from Sweden. :-)

I joined this group two years ago, when I was told my dougther had pmg.

I guess she has a very light version, but the mri shows the oposite.

Anyway, I know you are some strugling parents in this group, with lots of

knowledge in handicap care. As I understand most of you who are active here are

americans. (?)

Today I got the message that my friend has got a great job at the swedish abass

in Washington. She has a son, who is 3,5 years old and has cerebral pailcy. The

job will last for 2-4 years. Her family will have there home adress in Sweden

during their stay, so he will still be inside swedish healthcare, wich is very

good in our region, Gothenburg and the parents will be paying Swedish taxes.

What bothers her now is question about her son and his health. What training can

she get for him, and can he get extra resorses at kindergarden? He gets botox

injections three times per year here, would that be a possibility? Is there a

habilitation program?

What do these things cost aprox? Is it affordable? In Sweden we have sort of an

insurance, for each citizen, so all health care is included in the tax you pay.

Have any of you experience of moving from Eu into the Us? Or do you know some

who has?

Thanks alot for any answer to my friend.

Best regards

Carin with Nellie 3,5 yrs pmg, cp-diplegia, gmfcs 2-3
