Sorry I kind of left you hanging with my last post. Since then the residential center that she was in earlier this year agreed to take her back. Unfortunately it was double the price that Crider pays (because of the high level of care). Crider decided to ask Regional Center to co fund it. Last week we got approval for her to be in residential for 3 months. We can always ask for more later but this is a start. From here we are waiting for all of the official paperwork to get all of the official signatures on it to move forward. Our hope is that it will be this week but we aren't holding our breath.
She was in respite this weekend. It was such a calm and relaxing weekend. When she got home the whole house changed. I knew this happened but I had never felt it as much as I did yesterday. Immediately I noticed that Larry and I became irritable and our tone of voice changed. I noticed that I was pacing. I noticed that our dinner was so much less peaceful. You can cut the tension here with a knife when she is in the house.
Three months will be a good start. It definitely isn't enough but one step at a time.

3 months is a great start! Buys you time to work on a long term solution for your family that works for you all.
I will continue to pray.
Erin it hurts my heart to know how much having Oksana around changes the actual atmosphere of your household. It's not her fault, and you still love her, but her illness(es) are such rabid monsters! Still, God has brought you all together for a reason. I am happy to hear that she'll be in residential for 3 months, that IS something and it will do everyone good! Thank God for Crider that can help you out and pave the way for you to getting the help you need. Hopefully this will be the beginning of many good things for all of you!
Praying for you and your family.
I'm so thankful for at least a short-term answer to give all of you rest and support - and everything that Sabrina said? AMEN!
Continuing to pray for you all.
Here I am trying to make enough to qualify for Medicaid. I live in a state that didn't expand it, so I have to make at least $11,670 a year for subsidized insurance and I only make 9,000 a year I have just enough in the bank not to qualify for medicaid so now I am paying $300 a month for insurance whereas if I made enough I would be paying $40 a month for the same coverage.
