So, in a nutshell, she is waiting. Her incredible strong will has brought her this far, she has motivation, and desire. We are SO proud of her.
I get to talk with her every day or so, sometimes more than once in a day. She had an appointment with an orthopedist on Friday and surgery was recommended. He told her that if she didnt have surgery then she would have permanent damage... BUT she couldnt have surgery because it was a waste of the governments money... WHA?????
Ok, mom, stay calm. As a seasoned medical professional I have learned to try to assess each situation before I go absolutely apeshit. They wont do surgery "BECAUSE IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY?"
After prying myself off of the ceiling I have decided that we have waited long enough and been patient long enough. It is time to contact our Congressman. Frankly I am ready to contact our Congressman, Senators, Governor, the Mayor of Grand Junction, and as many people wearing white collars that I can find!!!
Just another turn in the road. More to come....

Goodness Tonjia!
I too would be contacting anyone in a suit I could find. How awful, they are the ones tht put her in this condition yet it is a waste of money to make her better?? Wonder if they would tell an officer that thier child was a waste of money? I guess Uncle Sam and GW would rather spend $1000 bucks a pop on toilet seats or hammers than to help one of our soldiers recover from an injury they sustained at the hands of our OWN government. Geeze.
You are doing a wonderful thing with this blog!! Tell your daughter that she has so many people pulling for her!!! And for you as well hun.
Unbelievable!
What a mixed-up set of priorties on their part to say the least.
I wish you luck Tonjia!
GO BRE GO!!!!
Oh ugh, they are not treating your baby right! I would be screaming too!
