Obstacles everywhere!

Well the insurance obstacles continue :(  Why is it that we have to fight for help that our loved ones need?  Why is it that someone @ a desk gets to determine how many therapy visits you get a year regardless of WHY you need the visits?  The therapy visits that the insurance ALLOWS is getting ready to run out for the year for Jordan.  My plan only allows 45 visits a year & my plan goes from July1st-July1st.  So no more visits until JULY:(:(  To me this is UNACCEPTABLE and WRONG!  The application for SSi was denied(they say she is able to work) so we are going to start that appeal process.  We are also going to apply for a Brain injury medicaid waiver program.  Hopefully, this will have a positive outcome for her! I keep telling myself that God will provide!

There are 2 upcoming fundraiser for Jordan :)  The first one will be on October 19th from 5-7 @ the Morehead State University Honors house. This is a NON MSU sponsored event hosted by some wonderful MSU folks!  There will be entertainment, refreshments, & a silent auction. Jordan's MSU family has been wonderful to her & our family during this difficult journey.  I would like to especially thank Dr. Philip Krummrich.   The second fundraiser is on October the 23rd @ Puccini's in Chevy Chase.  This event will be hosted by Valerie Esposito & the wonderful owners of Puccini's.  This is an ALL DAY event!! We will be there from 5ish-8.  So, if you are in the area that day please come by and enjoy some great food with us!!

Jordan continues to do well & works hard at therapy! The therapist are wonderful and she enjoys the interaction with the other patients!  She has also been helping paint @ the house!  Which has wore her out but she has hung in there!  Vision therapy is also going well and we hope to continue to see progress with her left eye. We thank you for the continued prayers and support for Jordan & our family.  PRAY FOR JORDAN!

  1. Thanks for the update! I am sorry to hear about your insurance and SSI denial. I know this has to be so frustrating!

    I am glad to read that Jordan is doing well and is keeping busy.

    We are continuing to work on the fund raiser for October 19th and we are looking forward to seeing you and Jordan. Please bring Taylor if she is available, and anyone else you want to bring.

    Tell Jordan hi and that we are all thinking of her!

  2. Hello Jordan, I was glad to hear things are progressing in terms of your physical recovery. I sure wish you Mom did not have so much trouble with the insurance and SSI people. Unfortuately the squeaky wheel gets the most grease so tell her to keep at it. I pray your recovery continues to go well. Tell Taylor hello for us. I was especially glad to hear about the support from Morehead. Go Eagles! Our Love to all and especially to you. Uncle Jack and Mary Ann

  3. Wow it's been along time since I've thought about you guys!! I don't know if you remember me but my name is Katie Minke and I taught both girls science while at Bryan Station Middle. I was just direct to this page via an e-mail about the fundraising event to help support Jordan and the rest of you on Oct 23. Glad to know things are improving from where they were a few months ago it seems. God Bless and here's hoping all continues to go well. We will be there to support on the 23rd for sure :)

  4. Agree 100%. Insurance companies are so hard to deal with. It stinks that first we must endure a health crises and then you must be ready to battle to get better. I hate to imagine a healthcare world with "socialized medicine". I couldn't even stand my HMO telling me what care I could/could not have. I had a much better experience with a PPO...particularly "unlimited" visits. I sure hope things get figured out and Jordan gets the care she needs.

    1. i have encouraged everyone I know to look at their health insurance policy carefully! It is very sad that when you have a health crises you expect your insurance company to be there to help not to hinder your recovery :( Therapy will continue & I will continue to be a patient advocate!
