Hi , Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you I haven't

been on the computer in weeks, there was almost 900 emails to down load

and go through.

Yes Keresa has a trach she got it at 5 months old, We have had nurses in

our home since she came home from childres hospital, June 27th will be

11 years of dealing with nurses. The nursing agency is Health Team

Northwest we started out with them when they were still Pediatric Home

Care. When she first came home I had private insurance but the cobra

extention end back in 1989, we went on a medicaly intensive childrens

program that has covered the supplies and nursing since then, a few

months ago my ex was ordered to put the kids on his Insurance through

work so now we are in the process of switching over to it (Aetna POP) I

think all the negotiations are about to be final this week they want to

cover 8 hrs. a night and want school to cover the day shift for Keresa

to attend school the nurse would be on the bus to take Keresa to school

attend with her and meet me at the bus stop after school. I will have to

quit my job when this schedule starts. I will probably do babysitting or

house cleaning to get some income. I don't want to go back to welfare

for income. Well that is a long enough book for now.

If you ever want to call me heres my # 253 854-7805

Talk to ya later, Ronda
