The Great Horrible Week

Saturday at 3 AM we took Kaybri to the hospital when she woke in the night with the worst sounding cough I've ever heard. I was certain it was RSV. The doctors didn't seem too concerned. Just an antibiotic and we were on our way. Wednesday, we got the greatest new. We recently applied for an appeal of Brody's Medicaid denial. Before the appeal was even processed, our case was re-opened and approved. We finally got insurance for Brody. It will go clear back to August 1 and cover his extensive debts. The best part is that it is totally free. We were anticipating a "spend-down" of approximately $1,000/month. But he was approved as Disability which changes the way its all figured and it just turned out great. I was so overcome with joy that I was jumping up and down. Of course Kaybri did too, simply because I was. Then she decided to take it a step further and jump on our bed. (keep in mind that our bed sits about 3 feet high). As she came down, she missed the bed and lit on her feet on the floor with her knees locked. She started crying and yelling about her foot and saying "hospital, hospital". When I took her in for x-rays, they came back ok. Just a strain they said. However, she was in a lot of pain that night. So we took her back for a second opinion yesterday. BROKEN! She is in a fiberglass splint for now. Poor thing. Its especially hard because she is a very independent, active 2 year old. And now she has to be carried around. But all things considered, things have been going pretty well for our family.
