SHARING THE TOUGH TIMES WITH THE GOOD TIMES

Well, that just takes the cake.  Here we are, having so much fun and making such great progress, and Mom just found out that after a seven month application process, we were denied assistance from SSI.  How could we possibly make too much money to qualify when eat peanut butter and mac 'n cheese so often?  How can they possibly ask Mom to QUIT her job in order to qualify?  How would I have insurance for all the big huge medical stuff coming up over the next few months if she quit her job?  Don't they see her waking up at 3 am to go to work at Starbucks, just so I can have coverage?  I don't think I have ever seen Mom so mad.  She cried and said a lot of words I don't suppose I am allowed to repeat.  I don't know what it all means, but I know that in order for me to receive medical treatment, therapy and my special school, Mom has to do a lot of paperwork and go to a lot of appointments all over the place.  I guess I can see why she is so frustrated.  There must be someone who can help her figure out what to do next.  If a boy like me can walk, then there are miracles all around us.  Please someone send a miracle to my Mom and to any other family who needs help with their special little kid's paperwork!!
