Of course, Nolan will need three different masks to rotate through because he has midface hypoplasia (that gives him the flat nasal bridge), so that will up the $$ a bit. <br /><br />We have a friend who has a little boy who wears two prosthetic legs: insurance doesn't cover prostheses, either. Fortunately, Shriner's donates these free of charge (these are also more expensive for children, because kids require new legs every time they grow).leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004783118268323560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2074245988180152453.post-22856460608848737362011-07-30T18:37:13.289-07:002011-07-30T18:37:13.289-07:00They cover Viagra, of course.

You would think that the insurance companies could differentiate between adults who choose to wear or not wear hearing aids, and children whose parents need to make that life directing decision for them. Very strange. <br /><br />I hope your insurance comes through for you! We purchased a nebulizing machine for X at the cost of $140, a very small price to pay for avoiding trips to the ER every couple of months. Our ER is entirely free (unless you call an ambulance, which costs $45), but why go if you don't have to?!!xraevisionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08379269876085160558noreply@blogger.com
