Physical therapy, pizza sauce, and wheelchair update

[@jeannetteashlin1725]

It's frustrating dealing with insurance companies. Freya needs the wheelchair but sounds like no one wants to pay for it. I hope that she gets approved fir it soon. 🤞🙏

[@suegibson1960]

Thank God you have home made sauce to look forward to! Medical insurance in our country is deplorable.

[@suegibson1960]

Hang in there Marcy. You’ve hit the proverbial bump in the road. I know it’s about Miss Freya’s mobility but shehas made leaps and bounds in her movement. This won’t stop your little spitfire!

[@becky758]

Bastards. Marci, you are right the insurance co run the medical professionals. As a medial professional myself, I have to throw in, the experience is just as frustrating and to the patients peril, disabled or not. My husbands shoulder surgery had been denied for ludicrous reasons and if I hadn’t been in the field, I would have been forced to concede and tell my husband to tough it out the rest of his life. It wasn’t until I reached a supervisor explaining who I was. I said to tell the reviewing doctor to put his coffee down and walk his lazy ass over to the X-ray box and explain to me what he isn’t seeing that a blind man could. Miraculously it was approved the very next day. You know, after all the back and forth with the insurance co, I didn’t feel any better. I mainly felt horrible for all the individuals that either can’t speak or don’t have the knowledge to argue that are left to suffer in one way or another, needlessly. Little Freya being one of them. Think of all the children, the elderly. Pisses me off all over again.😤. I know- if you don’t get it resolved, send me a heads up. I’ve got more than one “walk your lazy ass” left in me. 😉

[@klarasarosi8159]

Awww that's really a good idea from one of your subscribers regarding the gofundme page towards a wheelchair as plan b .as she said everyone cares about Freya and your family so why not.its a great option .🤔

[@Freyasluckyarm]

As a last resort I would do something like that, but I do not want to take peoples money when insurance should pay for it. We will appeal before I do a go fund me.

[@klarasarosi8159]

@@Freyasluckyarm yeah of course like the other lovely person said nice of her to suggest it. But we all realize it's a big amount and it's down to you and your family , how you get the wheelchair as it's personal situation .understandable doing things your way ..😳

I use to be a Case Manager for a Health insurance company. Ask them (private insurance) to do a courtesy review and auth. They will do one. Then you can send that approval to Medicaid. It will help save some time.

How frustrating, maybe this is the time to get in contact with a local/national TV station or newspaper and highlight this issue Marci. This is ridiculous.

[@annedugan7618]

Marci, if things bottom out with the wheelchair, it would definitely be appropriate to start a go-fund-me for your little Freya, although you are not about monetizing. I know that so many of us here who follow and care about her and your whole family would be glad to put in something we could afford. Please consider it. It would also relieve some of the stress on you.

[@klarasarosi8159]

You have suggested the best ever gofundme page for Marci Freya & family what a wonderful thing to do as it would be a huge stress off them and expense .they would be so greatful .👍👍

[@Freyasluckyarm]

Thank you. Insurance *should* pay for it, but if they won’t then I will keep it in mind. I love you all and how much you love Freya.

[@marshajanssen4344]

Insurance is an absolute nightmare and it shouldn't be. Everyone should be entitled to proper healthcare. I will never understand it. Im on disability for serious neck injury and it took 3 years to get surgery approved.

Ah Freya's physical therapy was a bit much as school wore her out bless her but she still tries her hardest . Was gonna ask about her leg as have noticed isn't as strong as the other ,but is it vital to have an operation , as the sedation as you said is a problem .yes the wheelchair situation ,is it a yes ? Hopefully yes be so much freedom & much more mobility for Freya .😳there's so much red tape frustration .it's not fair tbh clearly they dnt have a child who would benefit from a wheelchair I'd cry to if I was going threw all this . Really hope it goes threw asap .❤ Can see the frustration 🤯.delicious looking pasta sauce your a whiz in the food department looks so good.🍅🧄🧅

[@antjeneumann17]

The insurance wants to save money and will not give your brave sweet daughter a wheelchair! That is disgusting!!! Freya had so pain and multiple health problems and they could help her to do things by herself..her self-consciousness will grow throug the wheelchair because she can act more independent. I can't get it!! We all here (in the USA and Germany) only count when we are able to work!! It is very unfair. Margie, you always fight for your kids and you have to much to organize for Freya and I know what you must feel when people that sits on their ass in a büro the whole day long, say that Freya will not get a wheelchair!! I would have cried to. I remember Freya in the wheelchair she could try and this smart little girl immediatley knows what to do..that was hilarious...I pray to our lord that she will get the wheelchair soon..

[@DesMowadeng]

It's not uncommon for a child that isn't walking to be assessed and get a wheelchair around 4 or 5. Once they start school, especially if it's a regular school with a special education classroom, because if your child is even just beginning to walk and isn't in something like a gait trainer it's a "safety/liability" risk for the school. Just that alone without the paper work should be considered or be common sense as it would then interfere with education.

It should. You would think
