Going to appointments that seemed ridiculous.  After all, she is covered by SSI for Cystic Fibrosis. It’s a set diagnosis. It’s not going to change.

I thought it was just normal. Three years had passed, they did a re-evaluation and we’d go on our merry way as we had been.

I never imagined we’d get a letter declaring the cessation of benefits.

That somehow, according to the government, Cystic Fibrosis is a condition that stands the chance of improving.

That somehow, 2 hospital visits, the addition of a very costly monthly med, a decrease in vitamin levels, a continuing need for nutritional supplements all equal an “improvement” in her condition.

I’ve already met with the lawyer.

Filed the appeal.

I get to go to court (woo-frickin’-hoo).

Continue to jump through their hoops. This time w/ a good lawyer on our baby’s side.

Stupid government.
