It's only taken 7 or so months...

So, I finally got a visit from a friendly Montgomery County, MD Department of Traffic and Operations worker this week. I requested several DEAF CHILD signs to be placed around the neighborhood MONTHS AGO. They finally got their act together, and marked our street for placement. We should have them next week.

We live in a lovely, friendly, and all around great neighborhood just outside of DC. My neighbors have been so incredibly supportive with our whole journey with Christian. Yet, I always worry about his safety outside. Now that he's running all over the place, like any other Mommy of a toddler, my heart just sinks. If anything, I just want these signs to make the folks who use our street as a cut through more aware.

Why We Need HealthCare Reform...

So, here we are, an upper-middle class VERY well educated family. We have access to the best doctors and resources out there. But how is it that I STILL don't understand how our insurance company can NOT PAY A DIME towards my son's hearing aids?

If he needed glasses to see, they would pay for them. If he needed leg-braces to walk, they would pay for them. Yet, hearing aids so he can hear speech sounds and attempt to develop language to communicate....Blue Cross says no. COME ON PEOPLE!
