[QUOTE="mom_in_training, post: 49050, member: 2727"] Beautiful place to live. How sad that you have no healthcare access where you are though. I live in Ca and in the city that I live in there are no real specialist for my son to speak of. I only have two choices but either one involves having to deal with the freeways here that are pretty much all of the time like parking lots. I get toooo stressed out just for a Dr appointment in another county because of the major traffic so I now take the Metro-Link train for Dr appointments to avoid the freeways. Its quite the joke though because I live in a very well developed community thats maybe 20 miles from where all of the great doctors are but you would think that I lived in the middle of the desert or something. I think my community forgot about updating the healthcare to include specialists for our children or young adults with special needs. Our city and county sure has made a hefty profit off of developers taking over any inch of land left around here therefore adding to the population that will also be deprived of having the proper medical care. There is just nothing here that they can offer. Its crazy and very frustrating. My son has had a Baclofen pump for seven years now and I have to take the highway or train once a month for a 5 minute appointment to have it refilled. My son will be starting swallowing therapy soon and I will have to go to this other county to get that done as well 3 days a week. Yikes!!!
