What's new with us????

I've been very busy lately trying to fight my insurance company and having them approval a "stroller" for Kelly. She can walk but won't willingly go where I want her to go, like the fifth floor of a medical hospital to see a specialist. Insurance says the stroller does not serve a medical need. Wow...I guess a permanent neurodevelopmental disorder that will leave Kelly dependent on me for the rest of her life, leave her non verbal and with limited physical and cognitive abilities puts Kelly just on this side of healthy...hurray for us. UGH.
Don't you love bureaucracy. Now we go for the formal appeal. I'm hitting up every specialist that I can to write a letter of medical necessity for the darn thing.

On a more brighter note, we went to my aunt's 80th birthday party this weekend and Kelly did great!!!!. she had a few nervous moments at the beginning...strange house, strange people. but she was the hit of the party after a while. She was walking and climbing into people's laps....totally surprised her cousin when she climbed into his lap. He's about 14 and the sweetest kid in the world. Technically, I think he is her third cousin...not sure how that works....his father is my cousin...so what does that make our kids to each other???? anyone know....?

Sabrina on the other hand tried to steal my other cousin's...(my second cousin????, daughter to my cousin).....boyfriend. She's 22 and had her boyfriend from Manchester England at the party...boy Sabrina has good taste. He was very sweet in letting Sabrina follow him around for a good part of the day and he had an accent to die for....

The party sounds like fun!

You'll get the stroller. You'll just have to fight. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. But I can't imagine them turning you down completely.
