Katie Beckett

I was told when he was first born I needed to apply for a "Katie Beckett" waiver - its amazing what has come about in our country due to this wonderful woman and her family fighting for their daughter to have a better life. 

Isaac has been on WV's Waiver program for almost a year and it is amazing.  Our waiver provides him a special needs medical card and access and funding for therapies, respite, nursing, all kinds of things.  Its amazing what is available to my son through this program - Its amazing how much better you can sleep at night not worrying about whether your insurance will cover everything - and knowing that there are so many wonderful resources out there.  I'm thankful to Katie Beckett and all that she accomplished for so many out there.  RIP.

Oh and some more of our little Matlock

Finally got our Easter pictures done :)

They are so stinking adorable - yeah I'm super partial, but I can't help it.
