Dad is at the doctor as I type. Zach woke up feeling worse (after going 
to bed early with a scratchy throat and a slight fever.) We called the 
doctors office this morning to see if we could bring him in with Hannah 
today. There is a new girl in the office who obviously doesn't know 
Hannah's history. She wanted Donn to bring Zach in at 10:30 and Hannah 
back at 1. We really didn't need an actual appointment (in our minds) 
just "permission" so to speak, to bring him along. She finally gave 
Donn a 1:10 appointment for Zach. :)))

I was amazed at how easy it was. I downloaded the application from the 
state web site and filled it in. The doctor filled her part out and I 
just brought it to the tag office and gave them the application and my 
check. That was it.

It hit me very hard when I read what the doctor wrote on the 
application. Under whether or not the person is confined to a 
wheelchair she wrote "Possibly - if doesn't become ambulatory." Now I 
know that is a possibility, I just didn't need her to reinforce it at 
the moment. :)

that as our secondary insurance for a while and already it's helping 
pick up things our primary insurance doesn't cover.  Hope that kicks in 
quickly for you!

Me too! Thanks!
