Zeke had his first physical therapy appointment today.  Bo was so excited we were going there when we arrived because he thought he was there for him to play, but he and I just got to hang out in the waiting room while Zeke went back to the therapy rooms with the therapist.  Bo was still upset when we got home that he didnt get to play in the big playground room but Zeke did.   Stupid insurance wont pay for Bo’s stuff, not yet anyway, I talked to Zeke’s therapist, she’s going to talk to the other therapist to see what’s going on and to try to see if they reword his eval. if they’d pay for it.   I’d love to have them both go at the same times instead of sitting w/ one while the other goes back for their therapy sessions.   Zeke’s is every Wednesday from 11-12, which sucks because he’s always so tired.  Not to mention he’s starting that whole stranger anxiety mode that kids do at his age.

the report for his evaluation that I got today sounded horrible, but she warned it me it would because she wanted to insure that the insurance and the dr realized that he needs this physical therapy to prevent it from getting worse.   he got fitted for his custom orthotics today, so she’s putting that order in today.   the worst part of the eval. said that his muscles problems might indicate other problems; neurological, muscular or something else….I think If I had known that my kids were going to have problems because of my poor health and difficult pregnancies I probably woud have not had kids, I would have waited and adopted.   I hate that their problems are because of my health either during the pregnancy or just because I am their mom and it’s in their genes.

since insurance wont pay for Bo’s treatment they said we can pay out of pocket, sure, I’ve got $100/ an hour and he has to go twice a week, once for speech and once for occupational therapy.   on top of Zeke’s copays as well….I called the county agency for early intervention this week and am waiting for a social worker to call me, but I really like the therapy place we are at now, and it would be convenient to have them both go the same place at the same time….but I dont want to fork out $200/ week for 2 hours of therapy.   but I also dont want Bo to get further behind and then have problems when he’s school aged.   this is such a pain!

well the boys are napping for a short while before we have to go get Caleb, and I’m going to go lay down.  I have been really exhausted again lately   and been having some killer headaches too.   I was supposed to have a follow up appt w/ my dr this past monday but she had an emergency so it’s rescheduled for this coming Monday afternoon.   well I need to clean up lunch and hopefully at least lay down for a few minutes before the crazy bundling kids up and driving around begins again……
