FRONT PAGE STARS

[Guest guest]

Hi all those are my lil cuties on the front page. For those who don't

know our story here it is. My boys where diagnosed with servier

plagio in Sept 2005. We have TriCare through the US Air Force ( hubby

is deployed so will be so excited to get the email about his boys on

the front page) and they denied coverage for Starbands. With advice

of other parents I went of CA health department and children's

services who both turned us down. All of this took about 3 months to

get word that they would not help. So we decided to us are last

option and go to the Air Force Aid Society. We knew they would give

us a no interest loan but never expected them to give us a full grant

of $3600 to cover both starbands. The day hubby came home with the

check I just feel to the floor crying. All the denials made me so

stressed out and worried about how we where to pay to get our boys

the medical attention they needed. That day was like something got

lifted off my chest. On Feb 2nd (day after they turned 1 years old)

both boys where casted at UC Medical Center Ortho department in

Sacramento, CA. The staff there is the best bunch of people I ever

met. The boys put there bands on Feb 16th. They have came such a long

way. Both boys are showing outstanding improvement. The word now is

that they will continue to wear their bands till they are 2 years

old. Recently I painted their bands for football season to look like

Colts helmets (GO COLTS). Thank you to everyone who has ever

responded to any of my post. Everyone on this site was so

supportive of my family and I while we where trying to find the funds

to get the boys into their bands. I am just excited to see them on

the front page. I think I have emailed everyone I know and I will be

calling their Dr tomorrow so they can see it too. Thanks for putting

my lil stars on the front page.
