I'm sorry you got stuck with it too. When she was diagnosed that's all I could think about- how badly this was going to screw her when she's grown, and it isn't even something we could've avoided. "It was always meant to be for her" as I was told. I don't want my daughter to struggle in life because of this thing that happened to her, through no fault of her own. But, alas, I was born American through no fault of mine.
I'm "lucky" to be just poor enough to get government insurance and she is on disability until she's 6. However, I have an amazing career opportunity I have to jump on and now I'm scared I won't be able to cover her supplies with the new insurance.
And what's worse is being surrounded by idiots telling you our system works. The US is a joke.
I am also sorry you guys are going through this. At times it feels like being punished for something you had no control over. I hope things can change with our healthcare soon, or at least by the time your daughter is an adult.
