November News!

A little rest and relaxation from school has afforded me the time I have needed to continue on with the Medicaid hassles. Each day and each phone call raises my hopes for resolution in continuing all Caitlin's therapies and then once the authorizations are submitted and therapies are denied I am exasperated! It is a long complicated story to say the least, but peristence is necessary at an alarming depth. We have been directed to the Nevada Disability Law Center for guidance which seems to be a relief but I am not taking a deep breath until I know that there is some sort of gaurantee that this monthly stress can be allieviated.
We carry on with life and today we are headed to the University of Nevada's basketball game. It was fun to go the other night because Caitlin's cousin, Keith, is a freshman on the team. He got into the game and scored a three pointer! Fun to be socializing with friends and family in a very familiar way. We are headed to the Bay Area for Thanksgiving this year and are very excited to carry on with a family tradition for this holiday. Hopefully we will have enough time to visit with friends there as well. We are so ready to get out of town!
Celebrations and frustrations continue to be a part of each day and often it feels like a big roller coaster ride of emotion. This pattern is exhausting yet it is what it is. We are coping with the ride as best we can and are thankful for the strength we continue to have. We are grateful for all the love, blessings, and prayers that our family and friends continue to bestow upon us. May you feel our love, support, and prayers in your life as well. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
