We have been very busy as usual. There is always a lot of activity going on in our house. We met with Dr. Girnam (Integrative Medicine & Wellness) yesterday. She felt we were doing a good job with the different therapists we have coming and with the nutrition and supplements we are feeding Jess. She was great to do research for us in both western and eastern medicine. It is so important to combine both. She even found a place for Jess to swim with dolphins (his favorite) when he gets a little better. It is very therepeutic and the dolphins seem to know they are needed.
We are looking at rehab in Salt Lake or Seattle but because of the new insurance rules we may have to wait for Jess to respond more to commands before they accept him. I fear a lot of people in Jess' situation get lost in the system by being put in nursing homes without the stimulation needed to help them recover. And, it is all based on insurance rules. We received a letter from the Katie Beckett Medicaid in which Jess qualified for that stated they could not pay for the Elks Rehab. Hopefully, our insurance will pay some portion of the almost ,000 we owe. It is interesting how we pay for insurance all of our lifes and when you really need it they find all of these loopholes to say they won't cover this or that. We even found out that the life flight we paid for doesn't really pay for the flight...they pay for what your insurance doesn't. I bring these things up so you will be sure to check all of your policies and see what you would be covered for in our situation. We are amazed at what we didn't know.
The good news is both the acupuncturist who was out of town for a week and the cranial sacrial therapist who was out of town for two weeks thought Jess has made good improvements since they last saw him. One thing Dr. Girnam found in her research is that prayer works. Keep the prayer groups going for our Jess....please. With love....
