Small Update

Daphne had her 9 month well baby this morning (17 lb 12 ounces and 27 inches long =] ) and we saw hers and Jack's primary care provider. Let me preface this by saying, I love this woman. Seriously. We saw countless doctors in Germany and a few here that didn't care about Jack's issues. She does. She's amazing. Anyway, we were talking about Jack's KKI appointment and what they had said. Without me saying a thing, she offered to call Tricare on our behalf if they denied his treatment. I'm telling you, I love this woman. 

She did Daphne's check up (she's perfect!) and sent me over to get paperwork to enroll in the Exceptional Family Member Program for Jack. Enrolling him in this will open lots of doors as far as his treatment goes because it shows the insurance company (and the Army) that he's "special needs."

Speaking of insurance companies, Kennedy Krieger called me back today (I had called with a question about his referral to NBU) and told me that Tricare will pay for his inpatient treatment. She didn't tell me how many days they approved (they usually only approve a few at a time) but she did say that with Tricare they would only pay for inpatient and not for his to do the day patient. So I guess we're 100% looking at in patient. 

As happy as I am to have a few answers, knowing that its really going to happen has sent me reeling all over again. 

I'm signing off, Jack has Occupational Therapy early tomorrow morning which means that this afternoon and evening are spent getting my house "Therapy Clean."
