Last week we found out that Joseph's insurance would be terminating on October 31st. We serve an awesome God who planned that just right! Joseph has 2 doctor appointments this week, a swallow study & surgery next week. It will all be covered. We have added the kids to the major medical policy that Joey & I are on currently. It will cover any check ups & 3 other appointments for the year. We have 3 appointments total through the rest of the year. The swallow study is to check his progress with eating & is Tuesday morning with the best speech therapist! Thursday he has outpatient surgery on his undescended testicle & fix his circumcision where there is extra skin. In November we see a neurologist in Austin to get a 2nd opinion. In December is the surgery follow up with the urologist & a follow up with Dr. Tomasavic the current neurologist. Amazing - I mean seriously the God who created the universe plans for my family like that! Also, according to the price we were quoted we will be saving some money each month. The underwriting from the insurance has to approve it all before it's official, yet we are trusting that it will all work out!
Orthopedic appointment today was wonderful! Dr. Stahl x-rayed his spine and foot. All are awesome and we don't need to come back until he is pulling to stand for braces to assist his ankles if needed.
Prayer requests is that he will no longer need vital stem therapy. The reason for this is that the program ECI who he gets pt and ot with can do speech therapy but will not do vital stem. If it is requested to do vital stem, I am not sure how we will get that because it would fall under meeting a new deductible and paying out of pocket, which could be close to a $1000 a month. Once again, Cathy the speech therapist doing the swallow study has already told us that depending on why he is having the issues eating will determine if it is even necessary. She mentioned this at his appointment last week before we even knew the insurance issues. Just pray that it will not bring any anxious thoughts to me & God would open doors to what he needs.
Also, we have applied for a program to cover his horse therapy & another program that covers health care costs for special needs kids after their insurance has already paid. These would be huge blessings! It would really amazing if they went through.
Last Sunday at church, I was praying for Joseph & really felt God say "enough". I was at peace like never before. Enough means enough dr. appointments. He has low tone & the therapy he needs are covered. He is getting all he can to help him develop. He has met the milestone of separation anxiety & crying for my "benefit". Today he was riding his horse remarkably well & sitting up straight. As soon as I came by to take a picture, he dropped his head and started crying. I just let him & Jeff do their thing & played with Jordan on the swings. He did great!
Jordan has had some awesome weekends with grandparents! This past weekend she went to Pearland with Ya Ya & Gpa to visit family. She has been to a football game with my mom and loves that as well. We are blessed with fabulous grandparents that are so helpful & love us unconditionally!
Joseph & I went with Jordan, Haven & Hazel on their field trip. We had a great time together.
