RE: Re: - waiver programs/Darla

[Guest guest]

Thanks Darla

We get a subsidy for $575 every 3 months, and have insurance that pays for quite a bit, like wheelchairs. Do you think it would be more beneficial for us to change to medicaid or to stay on the subsidy program. Our name comes up about every 6 months, but we can never decide what to do. Does it pay for private nursing, such as when Colby is ill with a respiratory illness, that would be just needing a nurse at those times? Thanks for answering my first e-mail, if you have any advice on this dilemma I would love to hear.

Thanks

It provides in home services, nursing care, medicaid, medical equipment, home improvements for handicapped children, etc. (For instance-they just bought Asenath's wheelchair.) Talk to your local Department of Human Services and ask for applications for one. It is a lot of paperwork and time, and it can have a long waiting list, but once on it, it can really help in many different ways. Feel free to ask further questions if you have any. > >Darla > > Re: Size 6 Pampers > >Hi Nicki >I know the feeling of expense. We use Goodnites Medium. They run about the same price.
