Spoke to soon!

Well, I think I spoke to soon about Torah's reflux not acting up. It is back and in full swing again, but I am guessing that it is because of her sinusitis. So we are back to feeding her as slow as I can and she is pretty much on a slow drip all day. This is the time that I am glad that we have a suction machine here in the house, because I pretty much am suctioning her out about every hour if not more. She has been sleeping a lot and is not her normal happy self right now. I am just waiting for the weekend and hoping that she does not get any worse than she is. I think that if she is still struggling next week, I will probably call her new PCP and see if we can not get into see him (even though we have not seen him yet).
We are also going to be seeing a dentist in Casper (for Bob first), but I am going to talk to him about Torah and weather or not we should get her into see a special pediatric dentist or just wait a few years.
Oh, and one more note! I talked to the gentleman from U of WY Disability Determination over the phone yesterday. He was going to come up from Laramie to interview us and Torah's OT - but with all the snow that we received - the interstate was shut down and he was not able to drive up. He said that we would receive a letter in the mail in a few weeks stating that we are on the waiting list for the medical waiver. As soon as the government approves the list of people - then we would be approved and would then be able to get Medicaid for Torah and also a lump sum of money to help with bills or equipment that we would need for her. I am already looking at a medical bed/crib like what the hospitals use so that she can be inclined at night and that might help with her reflux. I found a bed that can be used for that and has side rails to keep kids in - but not sure on a price; so we will cross that bridge when we get there.
