Today, I received a hospital bill for $1,500 for an ER visit for my disabled son who has Medicaid. The bill is for the first hour of his stay in the ER after a mishap with a routine colonoscopy where he almost bled to death.
Our healthcare system needs work.

My son has hearing loss and today I had to:
-Ask one of his teachers to not say “everyone stop yelling because you’re going to make me lose my hearing”
-Request closed captions for the PTO movie night event
Sharing in case it helps others understand how best to support kids in the deaf community

I was walking around NYC with my family of five having a great time yesterday when an older woman waved her hand in my face to get my attention.
“May G-d help you,” she said implying that because I have a disabled child, I need help.

Dear Family,
I don’t mind cooking for Thanksgiving. I’ll start on Tuesday and do a bit each day. But if you think you want to eat other meals between now and then, make other arrangements.
Love,
Mom
