I'm going on a journey and hope you will join me in this educational experience. Our Cobra insurance runs out in April. No private insurance will insure Heath. The insurance companies claim he is "high risk". Yes, he is "high risk" if he's not on his medications. Do they not realize this?! He's been insured with one company since the day he and Alex were born. They won't insure him privately either. How frustrating.
My journey will begin tomorrow. I'll be contacting MHMR (Mental Health Mental Resource) to enroll Heath. The reason I didn't do this before is we have to see their preferred psychiatrists and counselors. Heath has been with his psychiatrist since he was six. I love her. She listens to him and to me. We have been through so much together, it's like losing a part of my extended family.
The counselor Heath started seeing last May did such wonders for our family that now I just e-mail her to let her know things are going well. I hate losing the security of knowing she's there for us when we needed her. She is fantastic at what she does.
Just when some aspects of our lives seemed calm, mine and Heath's comfort zones are going to be turned upside down. He doesn't like change and I don't like losing the security these two wonderful professionals gave me.
Heath has been doing great for sometime. I feel like I'm fixing to yank the rug right out from under his feet. I fear the ramifications this could cause due to the drastic changes ahead, not only for him but for all of us.
