Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 , I'm so sorry about your wisdom teeth bothering you. All 4 of mine were impacted at the same time so I can understand your pain. I hope they quiet down a bit until your insurance kicks in. Ann Marie Well, my wisdom teeth decided to act up at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to know that you are in so much pain. I still have my wisdom teeth and my dentist doesn't like that one bit! I'm a little old to still have mine, so he tells me. I just hate the thought of being put under but eventually I know I will have to. I hope you get some relief in one way or the other. Keep us posted on how you are! I'll be thinking of you.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2001 Report Share Posted March 20, 2001 Ouch , I sure hope your mouth gets feeling better!! I just had my wisdom teeth pulled last year and I had procrastinated for a long time. It turned out to be 100% painless for me!! I didn't even have to take any pain pills. I hope that once you get yours pulled, you will have an experience like I did. (((Hang in there))) Darcy > Hey all, > I haven't been around much lately!

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Hi all, Sorry I've been MIA from the board lately. Things have been pretty crazy for the past few months to say the least! I do read many of the posts and want to reply but then time gets away from me and I have a hard time catching up with the threads. I think of you all and pray for you and your kids often. My son (16) has been at 's for 4 months now and is doing SO much better than he did when he was admitted. It was pretty shaky for a while there with his weight loss and eating and his tics going through the roof. He's to the point now where his tics are much more controllable and thank God his weight and eating have been stable for some time now. He's also been able to participate in a lot of activities and excursions, which is great. Overall he is so much stronger and they have done an amazing job with him, as he has been a VERY challenging and complex case. We know at this point that the days of continued insurance coverage are numbered since there was that whole denial debacle a few months ago. I hold my breath every time I know there is a review coming up. So far they've continued approving him every 2 weeks, but everyone agrees that most likely won't continue for a lot longer. At this juncture it seems that the most viable next step will be a wilderness therapy program. It's a long story, but due to his lack of self-motivation to accomplish basic daily living tasks without constant prompting, among other things, his options for a therapeutic boarding school are pretty much non-existent. Home is definitely out of the question as he'd end up right back at 's in no time flat. We're working with an educational consultant, who I absolutely love, and she happens to have a lot of experience with placing kids in the wilderness programs. A few months ago I never would have considered this because my son was in far too fragile a state, emotionally and physically, but he's in a much stronger place now and I think the timing is right. Ill still be scared to death with him being out there and worrying about him regressing due to the huge change and adjustment he's going to encounter, but the reality is there really aren't any other viable options. Unfortunately wilderness therapy is not something that the school district will consider funding, and insurance will pay very little if any at all. If anyone has suggestions for any organizations to contact or other means of possible funding, please let me know. The programs we're considering have all said they're willing to work with us financially, but from what I understand it will be a small reduction in the fee and not enough to make it affordable. I know several of you are headed to the OCD conference next week, wish I was able to go but just can't swing it financially. I'll look forward to hearing about it from the list! Hugs to all, D.
