MDA clinic and doctors Need som advice

[Guest guest]

Hi guys,

I need some advice. I have been checking into the summer camp stuff for the kids as I am finally willing to let them try this adventure, maybe. Anyway, I got a call from Camp Cuyamaca here in Ca who are an MDA camp. They said the kids diagnoses qualifies them to go to camp for free. I almost fell over as every other camp I have checked into that they fit, has been 1000.00 or more for the week. Which is way out of what we can do times 3. Here is my question. They said that I needed to register the kids with MDA, and then they needed to see an MDA doctor. We have always just seen Rick Boles and Bruce Cohen because of their MIDS diagnoses and the kids being part of the research Rick is doing. I was amazed at the services that would become available to us if we go the MDA route as well. Anyway, do I have to leave Rick and Bruce to go to the MDA doc? Does anyone know? Or can I use the MDA doc more like the pediatrician? I love our Pediatrician and really don't want to leave her either, but we are talking about 1000,00's of dollars of services we would be getting help with if we were MDA. I have heard good and bad about MDA. Help guys! What do you know? What do you suggest?

Thanks
