 The cost of these items, along with the necessary therapies, are often not covered by insurance, leaving families to figure out how to afford expenses that are essential to their child's health and well-being. Parents are often asked to make impossible decisions. Do they access the level of care that doctors indicate is needed to likely improve their child's health? Or is care only accessed when it is absolutely and emergently needed? I will feel forever grateful of the care that our children received. I am happy to report that our boys are inquisitive, smart kids who like to ride bikes and rock climb.
