bills. (I haven't any firm evidence that the episodes are in fact seizures, but all the doctors I've spoken to say that's
what it sounds like.)////I must be going crazy......I'd have sworn I wrote a message of apology (of sorts) regarding this issue, but it hasn't been posted and I sent it yesterday. Well, anyway......I am *very* interested to know what you meant with regard to "financial assistance" after your insurance lapsed. My son had to sign a waiver for anything having to do with mental health issues as well as seizures (10 and 5 years respectively) and I'm now being told by some that this isn't right. The bills are coming in following his 2nd seizure for ER, ambulance, blood work, scans, doctors, etc. and Unicare just *doesn't* care. I apologized to you, Elizabeth if your source of funding was private - I have no desire to be nosy! However, if there is an agency or some type of funding he might utilize to assist with his bills, that would be wonderful.
Thanks,
