We Are Family

It was difficult to find people in the medical field... that could deal with or wanted to deal with Mer's issues.

We went to a plastic surgeon not to far from my home, we were looking for some help with Mer's skin on her leg. You could read the Doctors face like you were reading a Dick and Jane book. There was shock and awe on his face when Mer's leg was exposed.
Freaked out is what I like to call it!

We also had the home health care system send out a rep, so we could discuss how to get Mer some much needed help. The woman who came pretty much told us that no one would "want" to take Merrym on. What?! She did say though, that she could set it up so I would get paid a little bit to take care of Mer myself. "Well okay" I was doing that anyway.

Next we worked on getting her food stamps. Well a big whooping thirty dollars later! Yeah right thirty dollars for a months worth of food. Hum? Mer, a dollar a day is all your worth! The system stinks!

My brother who had just had back surgery, but had two working legs, no brain injury (that we can prove LOL) no dependants, was getting at least three times as much on top of a welfare check! We did set up a small SSI income for her, but remember there were three of them, Merrym, Asab and Courtney.

It mattered, but then again it didn't, because we would do whatever it took, WE ARE FAMILY! Oh wait, that song's going to get stuck in all of our heads! Sing it loud! Sing it proud!

The LORD then said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation."
Genesis 7:1

***Please let me state, I know this sounds self righteous. It's not that I think that way about my family, but we definitely strive to be that family, one step at a time.

Love you Mer
