Answer to Prayers

We just received a call telling us that Emma has cleared waivers to continue to receive Medi-cal. For the past 2 months, we have not had Medi-cal because Alissa and I made too much money. When the state realized that Emma was no longer in the hospital, she was no longer able to qualify on her own. When we lost her Medi-cal, we lost our nursing hours through the state. We received a couple hundred hours of nursing through another program called Regional Center, but it was only enough to pay for our night nurse. We used our last 10 hours last night. When we said goodbye to our night nurse this morning, we were expecting to be without nursing for up to 30 days. Everything with the state takes forever. Alissa has been going back and forth with Medi-cal and SSI for about 6 months. Last month a representative from Medi-cal finally came out and assessed Emma. She determined that Emma was medically eligible to continue to receive her benefits without making us pay $3000 a month in shared cost. They wrote us a letter on August 24th telling us this, but we did not receive it until yesterday. After 1 more phone call, someone from Medi-cal was able to push our paperwork through and we will be able to get all our nursing back. Thank you for all your prayers.
