WE GOT IT!!!

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!! we got the call this week that WE HAVE A DATE to take matthew to the NURSING HOME on nov 21st!!!!! what does that mean? it means that once we get there at 10:30pm to 2:00 am, he will AUTOMATICALLY qualify for MEDICAID and be in the MEDICALLY DEPENDENT CHILDRENS PROGRAM (MDCP)!! that is the program i had been talking about FOREVER!!! it takes a WHILE to get into the program and we had already been on the list since aug 2004 and we were still #4000+ and we were able to get thru because of the LOOP HOLE of RIDER 28!! soooo, we got the call and we are going in on TUESDAY!! :) GOD WILLING, matthew will then have MEDICAID for the REST OF HIS LIFE and that is a GOD SENT! this mcd waiver program only goes by HIS income not mine! and that means we will FINALLY HAVE THE MUCH NEEDED NURSING CARE!!!!! we will have to start with just days until we have our foot in the door and can find a NIGHT nurse!! we are qualified right now thru MDCP for only 14.5 hours BUT once we are in, we will qualify for CCP program and then we COULD have anther 30-50 hours! :) wowowowow...i can't imagine having a sound sleep!

last night, i was up with matthew fron 12am to 3:30 am off and on and this will only get WORST with the winter coming in!! i am just sooooooooo excited about the POSSIBILITY of it!!!! :)

soooo, any good thoughts for us on that day would be AWESOME!! i am just sooooo happy and excited!!

and, anyone in TEXAS that wants info on this waiver program, just email me!
