Oops I forgot...

I forgot to mention the article in USA Today. I think it's great, but I do want to point out that it kinda sounds like I said the Federal Recovery Coordinators aren't doing their jobs and I most definitely need to point out (for the millionth time, lol) that our FRC is WONDERFUL!

I will stand behind me saying that the military doesn't do anything for my mental or physical situation though. But I don't think the FRCs have any control over our lack of health care. Unless you're holding out on me, Mary? LOL!

See what you mean about all the stuff isn't right in the article.

"Leslie moved from Pennsylvania to her son's home in Riverview, Fla., to care for him after he spent months at a military hospital in San Antonio."

We all remember when you guys all went shopping for the longest time with Kevin looking for the new house to buy.

It is a nice article. It is a shame when you are misquoted in print. It was good you corrected.... "but I do want to point out that it kinda sounds like I said the Federal Recovery Coordinators aren't doing their jobs and I most definitely need to point out (for the millionth time, lol) that our FRC is WONDERFUL!" We know how many people read your blog and wouldn't want to see anything come of it. It was good you made yourself clear, as the article doesn't seem to have everything accurate.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if ALL caregivers could be cared for too and compensated ? There are so many out there who have given up everything to take care of the ones they love and who need them full time. It is so sad. There are so many people here in the USA who need help and we are putting so much money out there to help everyone else it seems. Accident victims need caregivers, children and elderly need caregivers and parents / children just cannot turn their backs on their loved ones. They too have to give up everything to become caregivers. It really is just like you taking care of Kevin. There should be legislatioon out there for ALL caregivers if a bill is passed. You are doing a good job. Kevin is very lucky to have someone fighting for him and who cares so much.

I agree with anonymous 2:51 pm that it would be wonderful if everyone in need would get a compensated caregiver.
However, I would like to point out that Kevin's injuries happened while he was serving our country, so it is a shame the government is not doing more,IMO.
