A Glimmer of Hope

We have officially been approved by Shriner's to recieve care for Ben! Hopefully now we can get some braces for his feet/legs so we can start working on putting weight on them. The approval just happened on Thursday of last week, so I'm still not sure exactly how everything is going to happen. I do know we will be going the first week of October to the Shriner's in Shreveport, LA and I can't wait!

Our biggest obstacle right now is getting him a neurological exam. It is apparently harder to get one than I thought. Especially when you're dealing with a difficult front desk employee at your pediatrician, from whom you require a referral. UGH! Is it hard to hire people that are friendly and helpful? Or maybe just helpful? I would take helpful and not friendly because then something would be getting done. I guess all I can do is be patient. But it's so hard when the care of your child hangs in the balance!

I'll try to keep you updated on the progress through Shriner's.
