Hi all...
Life has been crazy here. Last week Katie got double ear infections and andy got pneumonia. Fun fun. Andy got a little scary as he didnt respond to the first antibiotic. He's better now but I think he has a nasty ear infection. I dont know how as he was on every antibiotic known to man. So I think we will take our third trip back to the dr in a week.
Hopefuly we can time it with our speech eval today. We were trying to get into early intervention to provide Andy's speech therapy. Turns out becuase of our income we would owe 200 a month PLUS they would bill our insurance. Apparently the 200/month goes to running of the EI program. I think if I go through my insurance alone to a speech clinic I owe 10% of UHC's contracted rate (which is ridiculously low) after meeting my deductible. I say I think because I never trust the insurance company....I know if they find a way to not pay they will and I could be stuck with a lot more than 200.
The good thing is that it seems there are great therapists in both places they seem well versed in tx of cleft.
So andy gets his hospital speech eval today, a developmental therapist eval tomorrow and an IFSP on friday. This week is just an Andy week.
Will update after the appts....
