Medicaid and stuff

Morning began with C. doing a lot of gagging. Shortly after giving her meds and getting up in her chair she got the red-eyed, nauseous look that says "I'm gonna lose it!" Which she did. Only about a 1/2 cup worth, but then we were faced with the question of whether to re-do her medications. Ended up giving about a third of a dose of the DDAVP again, just to be sure. The log says this is the first vomit since Jan. 20th. Not bad in our world.

Saw this news item today about Medicaid. I'd just like to mention how in a case like mine, Medicaid is absolutely vital. As I mentioned here I am currently out of work and seeking a job. But given the difficulty of finding childcare for C, getting her enrolled in Medicaid and the HomeCare Waiver program to provide nursing care was absolutely critical to me being able to commit to a job when (please, oh please!) I get an offer. So here is a case where you can look upon Medicaid which pays for nursing care for my daughter as a true economic stimulus - it will allow me to look for and accept work, pay taxes, receive an income so we can resume our rightful place in the consumer society.
