international travel questions

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I realized that I need to get back on the listserv after taking some time

off to finish my school and do remodeling and many other non-RSS issues

which could get a bit much at times. Now there are a lot of questions

coming up in our lives which perhaps some of you could answer.

One is that we are wanting to plan a trip to visit Australia, but I noticed

in their online application that they want all applicants to be 'of good

health'. Would that excude an RSS child on GH and Lupron and a feeding tube?

Also, the travel health insurance excludes pre-existing conditions, and our

current health insurance is US-only. We hope we could go for a few weeks

and bring the GH and feeding supplies. But I wonder if travel insurance is

likely to cover other sorts of illnesses when we're there or reject

everything because of RSS...

Sigh, I was hoping that Australia would be a good place to take Tim because

their health conditions are pretty good, but now I'm not sure how to go

about it.
