[tri-med] Re: New infection

Thanks for the update, Janet--what an awesome weight gain!  Hurrah for 
Hannah!
Praying that she gets through this infection quickly and the 
antibiotics will take care of future ones.  What a pain....  Poor kiddo!

I've got to get onto the handicapped placard, too.  Our PT has said it 
takes a while hear for the paperwork/whatever to go through, so we 
should apply now (I'm not sure when Keren qualifies exactly....).  I 
know what you mean about feeling reluctant about getting it....  At 
this point I don't have to carry too much other than typical baby stuff 
for Keren, but I know that will change eventually--particularly when we 
start into a wheelchair of some sort.

Your TennCare sounds a lot like our Michigan Health (also known as 
CSHCS, previously known as Crippled Children's, etc.).  We've had 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!

Looking forward to hearing good news on Hannah!
