Just having someone understand helps a lot...<BR/><BR/>David, thank you for stopping by and for your wonderful compliment as well...yes, please do send me any links if you happen to find them...my email is hatkedonna@gmail.com...Thanks so much!<BR/><BR/>Drama Queen..aka....waitress...thank you for your insight...so glad your son is able to excel with his work sans mediciation....hopefully it will get to the point that we can totally take Aaron off of it...until then, as I said...we just have to keep on keeping on. We reconfigured our budget, we can pay for the medicine...just means one less time eating out on the weekend...one cheaper meal during the middle of the week, maybe less movie rentals, that sort of thing...we can do it, we will....because all that matters is that Aaron has the tools he needs, be it medicine or whatever, to succeed. Thank you for your prayers and thoughts.<BR/><BR/>Daddy forever...I am with you...I really am frustrated with the whole insurance thing....overall, ours is not too bad...just doesn't help as much as I think it should when it comes to this situation.<BR/><BR/>Thanks to all of you for taking the time to read my thoughts and for commenting...<BR/><BR/>Hugs to you all....<BR/>DixieDIXIECHICKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05223036513362572142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336353169835974771.post-73604180561428947312007-10-18T00:52:00.000-04:002007-10-18T00:52:00.000-04:00So sorry to hear about your son and your insurance...So sorry to hear about your son and your insurance situation. I don't understand the insurance industry. Every year they raise my premium and co-pay and cover less of my prescriptions. I hope you find a solution to your problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336353169835974771.post-32643769229042182962007-10-18T00:12:00.000-04:002007-10-18T00:12:00.000-04:00I know exactly what you are going through. My 14 ...I know exactly what you are going through. My 14 year old has ADHD. I don't have insurance at all so I had to take him off of the medications. Were as you son has trouble learning mine excells though. He was reading at a six grade level in the 3rd grade, but getting him to do any work in his younger years was like pulling teeth. I had him medicated at one point, but they would only put him on ridilin (sp?) Though he did his work better on the medication, he was walking around like a zombie. This was not my normal chatterbox of a son. He barely moved. He had counseling and everything, but I think i ended up with people who really didn't care about him. I am personally frustrated myself. His father has insurance on him, but it doesn't cover where he needs to go and what it does cover is not enough to help this single mom out. Insurance companies.. ick.. they truly only care about what they bring in. <BR/><BR/>I sympathize, but unfortunatly the only advice I can give you is tons of patience, a lot of love and pray.<BR/><BR/>HUGS<BR/>aka Real Life Drama QueenAdventures In Waitressinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01956438465608879397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336353169835974771.post-43360817074589309822007-10-17T22:47:00.000-04:002007-10-17T22:47:00.000-04:00Commenting from the other side of the world as a p...Commenting from the other side of the world as a parent, I don;t know enough about the US drugs or insurance industries, but what I can say is that Aaron is extremely blessed to have a mother who cares.<BR/><BR/>I have three kids and if I find any information that I think will help you, I'll give you the links.david mcmahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18009095220051075552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336353169835974771.post-12975984757599375792007-10-17T18:27:00.000-04:002007-10-17T18:27:00.000-04:00I don't have any experience with the insurance pro...I don't have any experience with the insurance problems you are having, but I want to tell you that I believe you are doing everyting a mother can do to take care of her little boy.
