WE ARE HOME

 One of these days I will update everything on here from Kinlee's NIGHTMARE cardiac arrest.

Today I am here to vent and since nobody reads my blog its a good place and I just want to get it off my chest.

We are trying to certify our home so Jerika can take care of Kinlee and get paid to do it. At least that is what I think we are doing THIS PROCESS IS A FREAKING NIGHTMARE. One person says we can use one company and they will pay her and keep track of all of Kinlee's expenses for us. Another person says if she's approved for disability they will pay for her care. Another person says we have to get our home certified and we all get paid to take care of her.  I DON'T FREAKING KNOW WHO TO BELIEVE ANYMORE AND QUITE FRANKLY WHAT TO DO. We had to get an attorney for us to be deemed her Guardians. We haven't gotten the bill for that yet, but we are now her temporary guardians, but we have to go to court in April to make it permanent. With that we have to pay the attorney, Kinlee's court appointed attorney, the court visitor and the doctor who examines her then has to testify in court. Just the court visitor is $600. Then to certify our home, it costs for the background check, the test at CEI for med pass, we have to have 3 inspections at roughly $200 each, we have to take a CPR class that costs who knows how much and take another class. Not to mention the attorney again for that court date. DON'T GET ME WRONG WE WILL PAY FOR WHATEVER WE NEED TO TO ENSURE SHE IS TAKEN CARE OF BY US AND THE BEST PEOPLE AVAILABLE. BUT HOW TO PEOPLE AFFORD ALL OF THIS? We have already paid Jerika out of pocket close to $1,000 to take care of her. And we have to buy all her food and protein drinks. ONCE AGAIN I AM NOT COMPLAINING. I AM SO HAPPY SHE IS ALIVE!!! WHAT DO PEOPLE DO WHO CAN'T PAY ALL THESE THINGS UP FRONT. WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF EXTRA $$ AND YOU'VE SEEN OUR MEDICAL LIST aka the reason we have no extra money just laying around. Ray has had to take on some side jobs just to make ends meet until we can get approved for help with her. And her husband decided to jump ship. We are fine with that he is young, but he wants 30 days to really decide. During that 30 days we aren't allowed to contact him or anyone in his family while he decides what to do. In the meantime holding all of her possessions except for a few things he had brought to Utah and some underwear and sweatshirts he brought to the house. So, we've had to buy her new clothes, shoes, everyday items and other things that we are certain he has in storage. She's been wearing my clothes.
