Friends With FOP

It’s official…Alan accepted a job yesterday. In today’s job market, he had to take a position that is several steps back from what he has done for the past several years. The position doesn’t warrant the type of salary he used to bring in either. BUT…he doesn’t have to commute too far (actually he’ll be going against traffic both ways), and most importantly our new medical coverage will go into affect September 1st. We had to take the boys off all but one type of medication for their ADD/ADHD and Autism symptoms. School is their biggest trigger so I cannot wait to be able to fill their prescriptions again. Luckily Erin has not needed too much pain medication or Prednisone this summer. We were able to get by on the existing supply. Phew!!! All in all, I would rather work off a strict budget but have medical coverage than be surviving off unemployment with no coverage. At least the kids are covered. I am so relieved.
