I am a SSG in the Army and my son Jacob has a left BPI. I talked with Julie today from Washington. I was wondering and looking to speak with other military families. To gather information/ ammunition in dealing with tricare and military medicine. The worst part is is that I am an instructor for Army health care specialist. Who would have thought I would not let them work on my son. But he deserves the best care possible.

I e-mailed you, and haven't gotten a reply.....!!! E-mail me, I have alot of amuunition, TRUST ME !!!

Alot of Military FAmilies do not post on here, or won't let you know they are military for fear of reprisal. The government likes to nose into what you say here and try and use it against you in court. That is why I post annonomously and won't post on too many personal issues.....ie my son's progress. I have e mailed you directly. All I will say is good luck and hope to hear from you soon. Also, if you go to the very beginning of these boards, there are some miltary families looking for help too !!!

Hi,

My son is 5 years old and also has a left BPI. We're at Ft. Campbell, KY. He's had therapy through Early Intervention onpost until he was three and then he's done PT off and on offpost. He's also had a pretty major surgery offpost. If you have any questions, or I can help you with anything, please let me know. You can email if you'd like.
