Silly Ollie!

Since Ollie's two bottom teeth broke through, he hasn't been sleeping as well. A couple of nights ago I rocked him for about an hour in the middle of the night. If I tried to get up to lay him in his crib, he'd scrunch up his brow and fuss at me.

Well, last night he slept much better. No middle of the night awakenings. However, at 6am, he decided he wanted to get out of the crib. He wasn't sleepy anymore. He was ready to be up and play. Mama, on the other hand, was not. (I have mentioned that I am not a morning person, right?)

So, Ollie and I headed to the guest bed. (Daddy needs his sleep so that he can go to work and earn money so that we can be denied Social Security and Medicaid.) Grandpa and Grandma sent Ollie a portable DVD player. Ollie watched Baby Einstein. And Mama got some much needed sleep.

Ah, technology...ya gotta love it!

  6. You may have checked into this already, but have you checked on Medicaid coverage through what has been known as TEFRA Medicaid? It is not based on your income, but Ollie's. Sounds crazy, but that is how our daughter is covered. We have private insurance and she also has Medicaid and the Medicaid Waiver. It may be called Medically Needy in NC. They stopped calling it TEFRA here in SC. It is for kids like ours with special and life-threatening diagnosis. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions @ smoaksignal.com
