GI Bug

Yuck, so the dreaded GI bug hit our house. Yuck. However, we aren't sure if Caybay got it or not. Let me explain. So Caleb was on Augmentin for his ear infection and last friday I gave it to him and he gagged/dry heaved about a half hour after I gave it to him and then slept for a bit, and then did not have an appetite at all until later that evening. Then Brian, Camryn, and I all started vommitting on Sunday. We orginially attributed Caleb's episode on Friday to his antibiotic, but now wonder if he had the GI bug. I pray that it was and that he has already gone through it and that is it. Poor kiddos, RSV and then the GI bug. This winter has been a rough one for many. I, as well as I know many of you out there, are praying for Spring to come soon. However, from the looks of the forecasts I think we have a long wait. BOO! Well I continue to pray that Friday's episode for Caybay was his episode of the GI Bug. I also pray for germ-free ending to this winter!

God Bless you all!!

God Bless Caleb and Camryn!!

One to Five

So I am going to try to update this blog a lot more. The posts may be shorter but I am hoping that will allow me to post more often, when i have a moment or two during the day. So there may be multiple posts for a day ;).

So I picked up Caleb from school today ( I love saying that ) and he was as always all smiles. His teacher told me that once again he had a great day and he VERBALLY counted from one to five! He's amazing. I knew he could do it as I caught him once at home counting but when he noticed I was watching he stopped-little stinker. He also gave his Valentine's to his classmates today ;).
That's all for now!

God Bless you all!!

God Bless Caleb and Camryn!!

SSI and RSV

Well Caleb seems to be feeling better and went back to school today! Camryn still feels pretty bad so I am hoping she feels better soon. Poor kiddos.

As far as the Waiver for SSI this os the latest. Just called to check on the waiver for Caleb's SSI   I got a different rep & he went to ask my rep what was going on with the case as he told me the computer still showed no decision.   Our rep had the gull to say she was waiting on more info from me.  What a liar.  I once again asked to speak with a supervisor and once again they weren't available. I am seriously so frustrated I am shaking. What can I do. I have contacted my senators and representatives and heard back from one of them. If anyone can offer any guidance I would appreciate it!

God Bless you all!!

God Bless Caleb and Camryn !!

RSV

So Camryn now has the same virus Caleb has and their doctor believes it is RSV. This is the second yr Caleb didn't get the Synagis, shot that protects against RSV, shot. Even though he was immunosuppressed the insurance fought us every yr on covering the shot. Well here we are with him having a better immune system but now he and his Sis have RSV. Yes, I am a bit nervous as RSV is a scary bug for a healthy child. Please say a prayer for my babies.

God bless you all!!

God Bless Caleb and Camryn!!

SSI should be ashamed and embarassed

So I called to check on the status of the Waiver for Caleb and couldn't of course get a hold of his rep, because she has already left for the day. I asked the rep who was on the phone if a letter had been mailed out regarding if the waiver was appealed or denied and guess what SURPRISE SURPRISE she hasn't mailed out a letter yet, which means she hasn't looked at the Waiver like she promised last week after she found it after she lost it. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! This is ridiculous. Of course, I asked to speak with a manager/supervisor and noone was available. Isn't that convenient. I am so mad right now I am shaking. How can they do this?!?!

God Bless you all!!

SSI Update and Medical Fund Changes

So we are still waiting on the decision on the SSI disability payments but it doesn't look promising. Not only will they not return my calls, but when I finally got through the other day the lady at the SSI office indicated she just found the Waiver application and would look at it in a couple days. That would be about three months since I filed it. Ridiculous. In addition, the 'overpayment' error was due to their error not ours and that is what I stated in the Waiver application. What shocks me is that the local office, who made the mistake, decides on the Waiver. How is that not biased?! In addition, when I talked to her last week she was already asking me how much we could afford to pay back every month, like she had already made her decision without looking at the Waiver. I am throughly disgusted. I told her I can't 'afford' anything and why should I pay something back when they made the error. I am getting so upset typing this, makes my blood boil. So I am expecting a letter in the mail telling us we owe them money. I asked her if she could call me with her decision and she said no she would mail me a letter. I guess it is easier to deny someone via mail than in person or over the phone. Classy right?!?

Anyway, on a happier note. We decided this past weekend that there was an empty spot in our lives and

we went to the pound and rescued this sweet boxer/lab mix named Izzy. She is awesome. Caleb and her are already buddies!

Caleb is sick again, we are heading to the doctor this afternoon. I am not sure if his ear infection is getting worse or if he has another infection on top of that. Poor kiddo.

Also, we found out that Caleb was student of the month at his schoool. How awesome is that?!?! So proud of him. He is such an inspiration.

Oh also, we had to change the location of the Medical Fund. You can now click on the 'Donate' paypal link on the side of the page to make donations to the Caleb Hlebiczk Medical Fund.

Well I have to get going. Caleb isn't feeling so hot.

God Bless you all!!

God Bless Caleb and Camryn!!
