So i have to vent for a moment. Yesterday as i posted ms kenadie is sick. I called her pedi and she said wait for home health to come out and do her o2 stats to check and make sure she is not destating. Well we waited and waited and no one showed or called. I called back again last night and still nothing. Thank goodness she has not gotten worse. I am miffed! I am paying for this service to ensure my daughter is doing good and what happens.. they dont come check on her. It is enough that I live in fear pretty much every night that something is going to happen to my daughter. Really i dont need this added stress. I did call her case manager this morning and left a voicemail for her to call me back. I find that is very unacceptable for them to not even call me back. What CRAP! So now i am waiting for her pedi and home health care manger to call me back.
Now really i dont know what we are going to do if ms kenadie has to keep going to the doc every day. It is 25.00 a day. Now you say that is not much. But umm when you take 25.00 a day multiply it by 5 it is 125.00 a week. Our pedi does not take medicare as a secondary so we are kinda put out on that. then one of her meds cost a fortune (90.00 even with inusrance). But we are working on the med part. Pharm companies are pretty good about helping out. I wont be getting paid until april 1st bc i have had to take so much time off with her and still having to take some time off.
Then my body has decided it is going to go ape nuts on me. I have yet to stop my postpartum bleeding. She is 3 mo old now. This is getting to be crap! I can't take the cramping anymore. I called my ob and he said i have to go back on hormone therapy bc he thinks my endometriosis is back with a vengence and until i can go on lupron ( a med that induces menapause) then hormones is what we are going to have to do so i can have enough blood in my body to keep it running. I am going to go on iron supps bc it is pretty low and i have zero energy even when i get some sleep. Do you think Always will name me vice president of stockholder? I mean i contribute enough! lol.
Okay sorry. But i had to get my rants out. I will try and put on my smile today and come back with some positive stuff!

Oh Alisha,
Big (((HUGS))) to you. I hope that you start feeling better because taking care of and worrying about Kenadie is more than enough w/o the added concerns about your own health. I hope that the pharm companies can help you out. I am so glad that you are part of the health care system so at least you know where to go and what to do when you need things. Sometimes I am just amazed by all the stuff you know and are able to do. Take care of yourself Momma because you are really important to everyone! I love reading whatever you write so you vent or whatever you need to :). Hope Kenadie is doing better today and that you get some help and some answers asap.
Oh sweetie you so don't need anything else to add to your already full plate. Praying you start feeling better and healing as well as Ms. Kenadie. I can't believe the home health nurse never showed or called. That would have me so irate as well!
Hi Alisha,
I'm from the November Cuddlebugs group (superduperdoula) and I've been following you and Kenadie's story. I hope that you feel better, and that the home health care gets their stuff together! I'm so sorry that you have to worry about insurance bills and copays on top of everything else. We've definitely been down that road (with my husband) and I know how frustrating it can be. I know in California there are some agencies that help with that, perhaps there are some in your area? Also if you save all your receipts and your total bills (medications, copays, all of it) exceed a certain amount you can claim it as a deductible on your taxes.
