New Year's Start

Okay, well this year has already started with a bang. Kian had his first grand mal seizure on October 26, 2012. That time he was kept overnight in Salem Hospital for observation. I thought we were out of the woods. This time he had a seizure this morning. He's fine now for the most part and the ER Doctor started him on a seizure med he has to take every day twice a day. So tomorrow I need to get him in with Dr. Koenig and hopefully get the prior authorization for the sedated EEG going. The ER Doctor said now that he has had a second grand mal seizure he needs to have the EEG done. In more news, we are currently fighting with the state insurance to keep his primary care Doctor. I have filed the appeal and I am just waiting to hear from them. When the Oregon Health Plan went to the CCO's they basically took it upon themselves to tell anyone on OHP which Doctors they can and can not see. A zip code is all that stands between us from keeping our Doctors that we know and trust. Our caseworker at the Dallas DHS Branch royally screwed us over by not getting back to me the entire month of October for the paperwork I needed to be filed. We DID get the "Continuity of Care" letters from our Doctors and did put in the request but by the time our caseworker gave us the paperwork that needed to be filed it was too late to switch CCO's. SO....now I am appealing everything and praying it goes through for us. I REFUSE TO CHANGE DOCTORS!!!
