Guest guest Posted November 2, 2002 Report Share Posted November 2, 2002 Just to let you know of some different costs, I went to a plastic surgeon in Michigan the other day for a tummy tuck and was quoted $4300, although he says the insurance won't pay for it.....because I don't warrant it... -- so you stand there half naked and humiliated while they take pictures and then are told the insurance won't cover it.....hope you have better luck.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2002 Report Share Posted November 2, 2002 I'm so sorry to hear of your problems with the insurance--I'm sure that is just one of the many reasons that Dr. R has stopped accepting insurance. I do hope it all works out for you. Blessings! Betty Upset > As you all know I was approved for my plastic surgery.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2002 Report Share Posted November 3, 2002 In a message dated 11/02/2002 5:09:28 PM Central Standard Time, I wish I could have found a doctor to do it for $3000. My insurance absolutely will not pay for any plastic surgery and my tummy tuck is $5000. $3000 would've been a great Christmas present to myself :-) I don't imagine a doctor would do it for under $1000, it's a very extensive surgery. davendeb403@... writes: << As you all know I was approved for my plastic surgery.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Jayden was without his band until his staph infection cleared. So this week is his second week with the band back on. BUT low and behold last night when I took it off...there are blisters and boils back on his head. WTF?!?!?! Im sorry but im getting so frustrated. I was one of the very few who had insurance that covered the band off the bat, and there were no issues there and then all he has had is problems. He hasnt even worn it long enough to make a difference!!!! Although his ortho said he grew in length I do not see it. I still see a completely flat head in the back and the view from the top could make me cry. I feel like I had found hope that the band could help and it seems as if my son is like one in a million that can wear it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Antonia, I'm so sorry to hear that! I don't want to upset you more, these are just some things off the top of my head and you may have already tried them... Could he have gotten-reinfected? Was everything super clean? Band, bedding, car-seat, etc. Besure to wash everything in 140 degree or higher water and do a vinegar rinse. Add some vinegar to his bath water too. Just a little. Plus, giving him some acidopholis granules wouldn't hurt. Leave the band out in the sun to help kill off anything and let him play outside in the sun too. {{huggs}} Hoping it will get better for you all! > > Jayden was without his band until his staph infection cleared.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I would cry too. I have heard of a few babies that were allergic to starbands, and only one that couldn't wear a docband. The two things I can think of are try wearing a thin layer of cotton under the starband (if that is what you have). One woman said it worked for her to use the cotton " socks " that they put on the baby's head to do the starscan. The other thing is to try a docband (if that isn't what you have now). -christine sydney, almost 3 yrs, starband grad > > Jayden was without his band until his staph infection cleared.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Thank you for the information Eleanor! I find it very helpful and have drafted a letter to send to Grace's teachers tomorrow to request a meeting regarding this situation. From the start with transitioning to kindergarten I let the school bully me into putting her into the TDH room when I wanted her to be fully included in a regular ed kindergarten room. I just feel so intimidated by them and even though I feel I have a good understanding of her rights, it seems like the school gangs up on me and ends up telling me why she can't be in a regular room. I am a very non-confrontational person, but I guess I'm just going to have to get down right forward and demand what we feel is appropriate for Grace!! Part of the problem is that I myself agonize with the decision to pull her out of the TDH room completely and fully include her in a regular ed class. This is what I wanted for her from the beginning of her transition to elementary school, but the school kept telling me this wasn't best for Grace & she wasn't ready or capable of handling it. Well how the heck can they know ahead of time what she is and isn't capable of? They are making assumptions and essentially putting a limit on her future by saying she can't do something tomorrow based off of what she knows today (if that makes any sense)! In my gut I feel like the most appropriate placement for her is in a regular ed classroom. I don't understand how they expect her to learn anything modeling after other kids in her TDH room who " can't do it either " rather than learning off of her regular peers who are " already doing it " ....whatever the " it " may be!!! Thank you all for your support and advice! It is most appreciated Shalanna in Columbus, OH....mom to Grace 8 (DS) & Jay 5 1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Bottom line is this: she does NOT have to be ABLE to be in the gen-ed. That is her right and THEY need to make it work. Once you go in with that attitude and don;t back down, unless they are really pig headed, it will fall into place. Any problems they bring up, simply put right back on their plate and ask how they plan to fix it so she remains in the gen-ed room where she has ever legal right to be. If this fails, hire an advocate or lawyer. It seems if you do this just once, they don't question that you mean what you say from then on. Was well worth the money.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Make sure the communication notebook or sheet is put into the IEP or it will never happen. I found that out the first year. Tell them that Grace does not tell you about her day and you cannot be a part of her education or help in any way if you are not appraised of what is happening in the classroom. It is not an unreasonable request and should be placed in her IEP & gt; Loree Upset  Thanks Loree! I didn't think to request a behavioral assessment (and naturally the school didn't suggest it nor volunteer it). I will definitely be requesting this to be done &  I truly appreciate you suggesting it! I have drafted a letter requesting a meeting to discuss what needs to happen & I will request the assessment then. Her teacher does send home whats called an agenda book every day, which is supposed to convey what is going on with her, but I do feel that it is very vague. I have expressed a desire for more communication between the teacher with myself, but I stil don't feel this is being done. I have found a sample Daily Sheet that I am going to " tweak " to make my own & request that it be filled out daily so that we can know what is going on during Grace's day. Grace usually won't tell us anything that goes on, which is why I requested more info previously.  Shalanna, OH mom to Grace (8 DS) and Jay 5 1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I found that when I had someone with me (any adult), they treated me differently. The only time I went alone, they were rude and intimidating, and I was briefly brought to tears. It greatly surprised me....because the ladies that I spoke daily too...on a very friendly basis...were so rude and also surprised that I came to tears. It is my opinion that when someone was with me they sat up and took notice. When my husband wasn't available, I've taken my sister-in-law, a friend from church, my adult daughter and adult son (both teachers), or whoever was available to go with me. Another time that I observed this behavior was when he was first going to the local elementary school (for 1st grade). I talked to the principal 'before' the school year started and asked for 1/2 day in special ed and half day in regular kindergarten for his inclusion. (Kindergarten in our school was only half day. I thought he would be able to function in that environment because the K-5 teacher would be spending a lot of time teaching all the students the proper behavior/routines for school....and THAT would serve him well.) The principal denied my request for him to be in K-5 room. ........ I decided to press for it. At 8am, the first day of school, my husband and I both went to her office. I asked again for Josiah to be in reg. K-5 1/2 day and 1/2 day in special ed. She said that 'we' have a problem with that because K-5 didn't start for another week. I said that I would pick him up early for that week. It was DONE! I believe that it was largely because my husband was with me....and I said " we have decided that Josiah needs to.... " She had had NO problem telling me NO previously. I hope my limited experience helps someone deal with the school system. Best wishes to you all! Shirley mom to Josiah, now 21 yo Re: Upset I appreciate some folks are fully capable of going it alone. I didn¹t mean it as if you can¹t handle it alone; I meant it for having a witness. In our experience, we had a number of folks, starting with senior administrators, who lied. It was critical I was not the only person in the room NOT being paid by the education dept. When/if things heat up regarding your child, you must have folks NOT on the school system payroll in the room. Teachers were told they would lose their jobs if they didn¹t lie and say what the administrator told them to say. Education administrators are trained on how to handle Odifficult parents¹, and tactics are employed that are not in the best interests of the child they are, however, perfectly suited to an intense legal courtroom. Few parents are prepared for that. We certainly weren¹t. Most school systems do not want a legal battle, and will eventually make an effort to work with the family, but ours did not. Our entire school administration has changed since our DP this is a much more family/student centered administration, but you never know what you¹ll encounter.

LOL!! & gt; & gt; & gt; & gt;  & gt; & gt; & gt; & gt; But you are totally correct that they shouldn't, in essence, be rewarded & gt; & gt; & gt; for & gt; & gt; & gt; & gt; their behavior by being sent back to the room they would much rather be & gt; & gt; & gt; in. I & gt; & gt; & gt; & gt; like the idea of sitting out in the hall to get the work done! & gt; & gt; & gt; & gt;  & gt; & gt; & gt; & gt; I have been brainstorming ideas all night & another mom suggested the & gt; & gt; & gt; behavior & gt; & gt; & gt; & gt; assessment, which I am requesting be done. They should be doing & gt; & gt; & gt; everything & gt; & gt; & gt; & gt; possible to keep her in the regular ed room, however, given the fact that & gt; & gt; & gt; they & gt; & gt; & gt; & gt; didn't want to allow her to go to begin with, it doesn't surprise me that & gt; & gt; & gt; & gt; their immediate response is to remove her from the room. & gt; & gt; & gt; & gt;  & gt; & gt; & gt; & gt; But I am prepared to fight (although scared out of my mind) for what we & gt; & gt; & gt; feel & gt; & gt; & gt; & gt; is appropriate for Grace. Thanks for your support!! & gt; & gt; & gt; & gt; Shalanna, mom to Grace (8DS) & Jay 5 1/2 & gt; & gt; & gt; & gt; & gt; & gt; & gt; & gt; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Yes,, for SURE a communication Log. We are never without it. I told them it gives us our dinner conversation. " What did you do today? " or " I heard your class had an extra recess. " Plus, gives you a good pulse on what is going on in class. AND REMEMBER.. the IEP is a legal document. When you go to the meetings...make sure you have YOUR list of what you want written in the IEP and the reasons. Once it is in the IEP you have them. They HAVE to follow the IEP. They won't, but you can push that. I have other ways to make sure they are following the IEP for when you are ready. But the important thing is write whatever you want to really happen IN THE IEP.
