By the time we get nursing

[bryantem]

By the time we get nursing, I won't want it anymore. I guess we are entitled to 48 hours a week from the state of AZ. Unfortunately, the departments that offer her all of these services (speech, Ot, PT), are facing huge budget cuts. I could care less about the nursing. Things are normal now, although a different normal. If she looses out on speech, OT, and PT, I am going to be pretty upset. Lucky for me, speech is covered by my insurance.

don't want or need it, say no thanks :-)

I'd take it if you can. If nothing else, it will be nice to have someone watch Addisyn while you run errands. I get respite for Gabriel and use it when we go to concerts, the movies, or if I just need to go to the store.

I agree with you on the speech, OT, and PT...those services are invaluable!

Most people say take if you can get it, but I honestly feel if you don't need it don't bother. Unless you really need it, in my opinion nursing is so not worth the headache. We have been without it for a year now, and its been the most peaceful year at our house ever. No more worrying if nurses can be on time, or stay awake, no more 10 calls a day saying someone is sick. Much happier for us. We weren't allowed to leave Emma with our nurses to run errands anyway so all nursing was to us was a 2 or 3 adult in the house, sitting and watching me work.


It is a personal choice, and I think those who really want it or need it should use it. But if you don't want it, don't take it.

I hope they don't cut your other services
