This afternoon was tough for me. We got home from our failed road trip, and I felt very mopey and defeated for the few hours after that. All I kept thinking is, how the heck are we going to get her to the nursing home in order to fulfill this requirement for the MDCP (Texas’ medically dependent children’s program). We NEED to get her on this program because it will open up so many services to us.
We were thinking — fly and rent a car? Expensive…. rent an RV and road trip again? Still have seat belt laws… bus? Why aren’t there more MDCP-approved nursing homes?
Then I reconnected with a mom that I met at occupation therapy a few times (our kids actually share the same OT, pediatrician, and GI doc). She told me that she was able to complete her son’s nursing home stay in a home closer to us than the one near Waco. I didn’t see it on our list that our case manager gave me, so I am going to call tomorrow to see if it is a possibility for us.
If this is a possibility for us, there is hope! We can handle Hannah and a 45-minute to an hour drive instead of a 4+ hour drive. Pleas,e please, please let this be an option for us.
That would be fantastic! I really hope that works for you guys!!! Fingers crossed! 🙂

Call the case manager and don’t settle for anything less than a better solution for Hannah! I’m so sorry that you’ve got to deal with this on top of everything else!
I hope the closer home works out!
