Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Thanks Leah I am not pleased by this, and I am frustrated that I can't get to speak to anyone live, Adam won't be on it for much longer; he'll be 13 in a couple of weeks!! I noticed this week when school started, there is one boy in his class that is shorter, but now that boy is WAY shorter than Adam. But he's athletic when Adam isn't, and so this boy is " popular " when Adam isn't. But he's kind of getting slightly closer to some of his smaller class mates. We were on the track that I had been guaranteed he'd reach 5 feet.........now who knows??? It's been hell (and you know the other stuff I have been dealing with) and add to that returning to work?? I am at my wits end. So thanks for the concern, I appreciate it. I still am remembering your endo visit at the beginning of October. WE may BOTH be fighting for GH at the same time!!!!

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 I wonder if anyone at MAGIC might be able to give some helpful advice for this situation. Maybe you could give them a call sometime?

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Thanks I still think the company should notify people; there have been no changes to contracts etc. UGH I teach special ed in the elementary system. Oh it's a load of fun! LOL Deb Re: crappy news > Debby - that's the problem with insurance companies. When their > contracts expire or they change - the timing of getting the notice > of change in insurance doesn't always get to the employer in a > timely fashion. I'm not even sure where lines of communication fall > with respect to letting individual insurers know of their changes. > Sorry to hear of your news....it's great to know that Eli has a > compasionate program though. > What do you teach?

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Thanks for the idea Inga but I live in Canada, so our systems are so different, I don't think Magic could be of much assistance. I just have to keep my fingers crossed that at least one of the million people I have emailed or left voice messages with; will call me back!
