Military Life, Autism, Parenting
“If it weren’t for my horse…” is what my husband and I say to each other when something has us so frustrated we’re beyond coherent words. (If you don’t know the reference, Google it + Lewis Black. Comedy GOLD. I promise.) Ever just have one of those aneurysm inducing weeks? Well it’s been like that… read more »
Did you have a good Friday? How did you spend your afternoon? I was going to go grocery shopping. Instead, I got the mail, and checked it as I always do to toss the catalogs and junk right there at the post office. That way there’s less paper coming into our home. I came across… read more »
Now click here and bug your congress people. We will not let CMKAA H.R. 2288 die in committee. Failure is just not an option. Seriously. Do you think that a soldier who is deploying and has children on the autism spectrum should have the added stress that if something should happen and that soldier ends up medically… read more »
Congress and the Pentagon are once again trying to mess with retirement benefits for military members. It seems their latest strategy to save money and screw the retirees is to make all soldiers aged 65 and older ineligible for the US FamilyHealth Plan, and they MUST enroll in Medicare and Tricare for Life. From my… read more »
Today, there was a plot against my health. My kids and the military health system are determined to see who can give me an aneurysm first. Between allergies and the full moon this week, my kids have been hopped up higher than the Energizer bunny tweaking on meth. Cue my husband coming home from work…. read more »
Really? It took them this long to figure that out? Military spouses, have you ever put your soldier’s gear on to see what it’s like? Can you imagine what’s it’s like with the plates in it? Now wear that almost all day, every day, for a year. Is it really a wonder we’re seeing soldiers… read more »
Congress has passed legislation that “Gray Area” retirees may purchase Tricare coverage called Tricare Retired Reserve. This means that Reserve Component retirees not yet 60 years of age could potentially have Tricare health care coverage. That is if they can afford to pay $388.31 for 2010, $408.01 for 2011, and $976. 41 for 2010, $1,020.60… read more »
I’ve been chronically our journey through our managed health care system with our youngest son, Aaron. Yesterday we got his referral paper from Tricare. I was so happy it didn’t take the full two weeks that it usually does. I raced home from the post office (as fast as the 15MPH speed limit on post… read more »
Our pediatrician called yesterday with the results of Aaron’s blood allergy testing for foods. None. Nada. Zip. Zilch. He’s not allergic to any of the various varieties of nuts they tested for, nor wheat, or milk. I explained that since she mentioned possible celiac disease, we tried gluten free foods. The symptoms subsided drastically. Then… read more »
Ok, so maybe gluten free is a misnomer. Since taking my 3 year old to the doctor two weeks ago we’ve been severely limiting his gluten intake. The results have been good. The foul, peel the paint off the walls, smelling diarrhea and puking his guts out are gone. He no longer complains constantly that… read more »
