Re: Taking on Insurance Co.

When my insurance company denied me, I appealed it and they denied me again with recommendations from doctors saying it was best to go to TCH. Ever since then, I will never go with another HMO. I hope you have better results.

Good Luck,
Adam

Re: Something for all to see

<t>Hello,<br/> I hope you had a great Thanksgiving! Alexandra's third surgery was the cutting of 4 tendons underneath her armpit area. The second surgery was cleaning the scar tissue and checking the nerves. It was supposed to be a C7 transfer, but we decided not to go that route. Please give me mor...

Something for all to see

<r>We were recently down in Houston for my daughter's 3rd surgery. We met Stephanie and Grant from Oregon. I was telling them about a program that helps families who cannot afford everything.

Re: Mod/Qod Casting ???'s

<t>Hi Melissa,<br/> We were at TCH just 1 1/2 weeks ago and they put her in a hard cast for the first day, and then made a special splint for her the next day. She seems pretty comfortable in this one. The splint has not slowed her down at all. As dar as bathing her, she sits in the tub with a littl...

Re: more problems with shoulder now.....

<t>Hi Tracey,<br/> We just came back home from TCH and my daughter's third surgery. She is 18 months old now. She was born with no use of her arm. After the first two surgeries, she has slowly started to use it more and more. After the third surgery, one of the doctors told us the same thing. He sai...

Re: 4 days post mod-quad questions???

<t>Hi Stephanie, <br/> We met at TCH this past week. I'm sorry to hear that your son is not to his usual self yet. When we brought Alexandra home on Thursday, it seems like she has more energy now than before we left. She has always been an active girl (climbing and running), but we were extremely s...

Re: 3 surgeries?

<t>The first surgery was the primary surgery. C5, C6, and C7 were all torn in half. C8 and T1 were pulled from the spine. Alexandra had Erb's palsy and Klumpke's palsy. I think that is the name of the second, please forgive me if I am wrong. She was completely paralyzed from the shoulder down. No mo...
