Yay..so it looks like we will be a permanent fixture here in CO..!
I wish we had a proper chance to celebrate..but, it seems we keep getting snagged on a "technical difficulty", I don't know, almost every other day..!!
So, it's not really that big of a deal..but, Scott has to either go into the reserves, or get out. Both require time..and his job starts "officially" July 2. So, with a month, he has to do one or the other..and it took Scott three weeks to get a Reserve job, only to find out the job isn't coded for his career field. Did I mention it has taken him another two to get ahold of other Reserve personnel to even ask about a job. So, suffice to say it's incredibly frustrating.
Good thing the job has a small amount of flexibility with the start date..but, really not much.
The other issue comes with our health insurance.
Funny thing, the military health insurance is actually one of the best paying out. Didn't notice it, but no other insurance companies cover ABA. And, most insurance companies will build their main headquarters in states that don't impose so many laws about covering things like ABA therapy, (oh, yeah, they think it's "experimental"..after 30 years of research..ha..!)so they can get away with not recognizing it. Funny thought, some insurance company CEO dictates whether my child will get health services..when will someone actually do something about this...? And I do wonder why we all thought it was a good idea to charge people for being sick..as if it were a choice we had..?
So..anyways..i am sticking with a few positives for now.
1. Scott has gotten a job that is certainly a beautiful opportunity for him..and I couldn't be more happy for him to start it!
2. We will have insurance. No matter what it doesn't cover..and all my other opinions.
So, folks it's been a roller coaster of a waiting game. I have done as much research I can as far as the insurance goes..but since we don't have a "specific" start date..I don't know what to expect this summer. I am planning on having consistent ABA as far as July. I can say that Evan has done very well..and this might be a strange opportunity to see if Evan can do with a limited ABA schedule. I will be sad to walk away from respite, though..it's so nice to have a few date nights a month planned. But, I'll be looking for a proper babysitter for the Evan. I should tell you my life is never boring..insert rolling laughter here...because that's an understatement for me...!!
But,I have so much to be thankful for to keep me in check sometimes..!
I hope you'll allow me at least a few more sappy blog posts about my lil man Evan, because my ultimate goal is to "move on"..sing a new tune and turn another page in our chapter of life. I hesitate moving forward to new sorrows or difficulties that could very well be on the next page, but I know that incredible things and people also await me.
Hope is an incredible thing..and when it's deferred..it can make your heart sick..(as I read somewhere..). I know the feeling. It's like when I'm on the computer and I'm writing this silly blog, and like, my kids are begging me to watch how spectacular they are at jumping on the couch, or fighting with each other..they are just hoping themselves sickly, that I'll come and join them..perhaps chase them..play hide-n-seek with them..tickle them..and get off my iPad!!
As for what I should be doing..I have a pirate birthday to plan for Evan's fifth birthday this Sunday..gosh..lots of kids and a bunch of crazy adults (not me, everyone else) it's bound to be an adventure..!!
