Ann,

We do not have ssi yet, but Storm's ped. thinks he should qualify, so

we are about to start the process of applying. FUN!!!not. Anyway,

just thought I would share what the ped. said.

Hi Ann,

I did make the trip to social security. One of my patients is a medical

examier for SS and told me that Josh would medically qualify. Josh does

have a heart defect, so I'm not sure if the RSS would stand alone. I also

mentioned the acidosis. Anyway, I filled out all the paperwork & when I

finally got in we were way over the income limit. The man who took care of

us implied that if for some unforeseen reason lost my job we would then

qualify. They are very nice & go over all the figures with you. If you are

interested I could probably dig them up for you. Is it your husband who has

medical problems? Forgive me if I'm mixed up. We also receive respite

through our early intervention. We get $40 a month or we could have an

agency come in & watch the boys for us. I prefer to ave my sister watch the

kids and pay her. It helps us get out at least once a month. Hang in

there!
