Quick Update

I have a lot of updates that I need to get on the blog but I haven't had the time or energy so I'm just going to share a few quick highlights for now.

I received radiation on the right side of my mouth this week with the goal of closing off the salivary glands to reduce my spitting. The oncologist said it would take a week or two to see results...today is day 4 but no results yet.

Dino came to town this past weekend and as always it was great getting to spend time with him. He and Al had a dance off to the song Bust Stop (The Wiggles Version) which can be found on uTube by searching Wiggles Bus Stop. It was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time and dancing Dino has kept his title as the champion but Al sure has learned a few new moves! :)Olivia and I are going to try and get video of the dance off posted on the blog but give us a week or so.

The most important thing that has happened recently is that today we received the approval for Joshua's AZ Long Term care!It was our fourth time applying so I don't know if he was approved because they realized he actually needs the services or if it was because they knew I wasn't giving up. Whichever it is I don't care I'm just thrilled he got approved! This means he will continue receiving his in home therapy after the age of three. He will also have state insurance/medicaid that will pick up all of his medical bills that Aetna does not cover. Lastly he qualifies for rehabilitation hours which pay for someone to come to the house or Joshua's daycare to work with him on his various therapy needs throughout the week.

I'll try to get more information posted later!
