Respite Care

We've been waiting several months to become approved for Respite Care for little Ayla- at first attempt we were declined, then later approved for a home care provider and not an RN. Which is great, but a mystery why Medicaid has been difficult to work with...oh wait, it's Medicaid that's why (silly me)! Our doctor was surprised to learn that Ayla did not qualify for Nursing Care and limited hours as there are several of her other babies less critical than Ayla who qualify for 30+ per week of in-home RN Care. It's been a rather challenging process and we are grateful to have what we have...albeit only temporarily.

In-Home Care will allow Ryan to return to his normal working schedule and allow me to put in a few more working hours (to my managers delight). As this in-home care is only approved for 1 year we are going to take advantage while we can!
