Nana's are Beautiful
I had katie order a cell phone via Community Action. The phone is free and loaded with 250 mins each month. It's a govt program to help keep very low income people with phone access. Great for the elderly, but you don't have to be elderly to qualify. The phone arrived on sat along with her medicaid card for herself, M, and Evan.
husband wanted to run the phone and medical card up to her. A 3 hr round trip. I nipped that in the bud with a great big NO. I'm not making a 3 hr trip to dayton to hand her a cell phone and the medical card when gas is at 3 bucks a gallon here. Cell phone isn't a necessity, although it would be nice for her to have it. And the medical card isn't either...........because now that she's in a new county she has to transfer the welfare anyway and they'll issue a new card (s). She was told to do that friday. If she did as she was told she should have the new card by tues.
Otherwise.......not taking the phone to her unless I have a reason to head in that direction, which at the moment I don't. husband didn't like it. But I told him if she sees even once we head up there for something that isn't important, we'll be called at least once a day for something frivolous that she wants us to bring her. Not happening. husband came around once I pointed that out to him.
Travis has psychiatric class with someone who volunteers on a reg basis out at the shelter. There has been a family spot open for about a week. Which if Katie had not lied about calling, she would be there instead of dayton. So now she has to start all over, start the kids in a new school, hunt down docs (like that's gonna happen) ect. Gotta love those natural consequences.
School nurse here arranged for Lion's Club to pay for Kayla glasses / eye exam. Lion's Club director called me and I had to tell her the kids moved to the dayton shelter. She was still willing to pay for kayla's glasses. I told her honestly it wasn't necessary as katie has a medicaid card for kayla and she should have taken care of the eye exam / glasses weeks ago. More than likely that info is going to get back to the school nurse.........who may report it to cps. I know it was reported to cps in Mo twice already. Katie has been "getting" glasses for kayla for 2 yrs now and still hasn't gotten them.
I thanked the woman and told her she might want to use the funds for someone who doesn't have the medicaid card.
No I don't expect that Katie will get kayla's glasses anymore than she's made an effort to do so the past 2 yrs. But if she doesn't that is more fuel for cps. Medical neglect.
Katie also got turned in for Evan's rotting teeth. She had some pulled back in Mo to make cps happy. But he has at least the rest of the top ones that have to go.......they are really bad, it's a big part of his eating issues. She came along to Nichole's dentist appointment. I told her the doctor was great with kids and he takes medicaid to make an appoint. (we have few that take medicaid) She said she'd do it later. Well not now..........now he's too far away. ugh More grounds for medical neglect.
Alex doesn't talk, he shouts. I suspect hearing issues. He's never had his hearing checked. I told her to have it checked several times over the past 2 yrs. He's had tons of ear infections, severe ones........and she never had the tubes put in like the pediatrician doctor wanted. I vaguely recall her stating that the school wanted her to have his hearing checked and she argued with them because she believes his shouting is because he thinks if he shouts people can understand his speech. Bull, Travis had as bad speech issues and Evans is worse.........neither of them shout. But when Darrin's ears are blocked by infection he can't hear......and guess what? The boy shouts. ughhh by the way he'll be getting his tonsils out soon which is the cause of all his ear infections. If Alex is having hearing issues, it could be playing a big part in his learning difficulties.
You know it's really not that difficult to take your kids to a doctor or dentist, and it's certainly not that she has to pay for any of it. Just too lazy, or afraid the docs will see something and report it. The latter was the case the last time she was here.
So far we haven't heard from her. I guess she hasn't found the library yet. lol
I'm curious as to how things are going there........I imagine it's not at all pleasant. I'm sure when we do hear from her we'll hear all about how life is positively horrid there. lol
