[QUOTE="slsh, post: 621377, member: 8"] Thanks, Loth. It's been an awful week between work and various crises so I haven't had a chance to check out possible options for funding. I will check your link out, as well as check out the manufacturers' links. Hopefully can find something. husband hasn't heard back from his company's advocate yet. Katie Beckett is a waiver states could opt in on (of course, IL did not). The waiver is for kids on Medicaid who require extremely high levels of care that can be provided in the home but are typically provided in institutions/hospitals. The real Katie was a vent-dependent kiddo who was on Medicaid, was ready to be discharged home, but Medicaid at the time would only pay for vents in the hospital. Her mom was a true warrior and got President Reagan to change Medicaid rules so that services could be delivered in the home. Boo had the waiver in WA and CA, but then we moved here, LOL. Not applicable to him anyway 'cuz he's such an old man now, but IL has decimated adult waiver funding into nonexistence, so I am doubtful Medicaid would do much for us. I'm sorry you're in the same boat, and actually really horrified to hear that the kids are backlogged. That seems to defeat the whole purpose. Good idea to check on insuring him individually. Never crossed my mind. I wonder if they would force him to be on SSI, like Medicaid will, before they will consider him. Can't hurt to check it out. Thanks!! P. S. - OMG - when did your kids get so *old*????? I about choked when I ready Mighty Mouse is 10 already!!!! LOL.... time flies. [/QUOTE]
