My first Post

I have been thinking about doing a blog for quite some time now. Since today is my first day of being out of school for the next few months, I thought it would be a great time to start! So here I am trying to think of stuff to say.

I guess I'll start by talking about Alex. My husband and I are very blessed to have such an amazing son. I hope our next child is as wonderful as he is. Here are a few recent pictures of him. One with his feeding tube, and one without.

Mike and I just got some good/bad news about Alex. He has qualified for Long Term Care through the State. I know your thinking how is that bad news? But before when I thougtht he wouldn't qualify I was happy because I told myself that he didn't need it. Now that he qualifies, I feel like he is worse off then what I thought. On the other hand, this opens the door for us in so many ways. He'll get a lot more therapy and services to help him acompish our goals. One of my main goals is to have him not qualifiy for services in a year. Its a lot of work, but I think we can do it.

I'm constantly reasearching feeding thearpy programs. I'm not sure if our insurance will cover it or not. If not it could cost us up to $30,000. To get him the help he needs. I don't know where we would get that money from. I'm starting to save up, maybe one day We'll have enough money saved up.
