EQUIPMENT!

When you have a child with special needs there is an expense of equipment.Sometimes insurance will pay for the things you need.Bath chairs for a child is NOT one of them.Now if Jaxson was an adult it would be paid for.I am positive the reasoning behind this is because..as an adult you only need one.A child grows and goes through many of them.Jaxson has a rifton blue wave bath chair.Its bulky and heavy but it has worked and i only gave 20.00 for it at a medical equipment store that takes used equipment.It has served its purpose and now Jaxson has outgrown it.These bath chairs are not CHEAP!They are 100's of dollars!
       Positioning chairs is another!Insurance eyes the wheelchair is all a child needs.When at home i like to set Jaxson is a positioning chair to play or watch his favorite cartoons.The wheel chair is nice if i had the home to get it around in.Jaxson also needs a Hoiyer lift in the near future.The rehab department is working hard to get the lift paid for.Jaxson is almost 44 lbs and growing.My back will thank me if we get this lift!
   So i am saving to buy a bath chair and a positioning chair.His positioning chair he has now he is outgrowing at rapid speed!
   I am going to open an account and every month put so much money in it for Jaxsons supply and equipment needs!This will help all of us in the long run!That way if Jaxson needs something i will be able to meet his need!My boy is worth any and all expense..I would not trade a thing about my child.He is amazing ,strong little fighter who has been through so much in his 8 yrs of life and has a smile on his face all the time he is my Hero!
