Mommy Meltdown

It happened today. I had my first huge mommy meltdown at 5 p.m. tonight when I had to deal with an extremely rude case manager from Amerihealth Merciless. She hung up on me twice. Once when she told me she understood how I felt and I replied with "Oh yea? I guess you go home to a handicap son too right?!" And then I called the jerk lady back and tried to tell her how I felt about how things were going with this transition to the pediatric residential facility which we continue to get denied for. I said to her "I know my handicap child brings you no money and thats part of why you continue to deny him, but the insurance company needs to realize how seriously ill he is!" She didn't like that either. Oh well the truth hurts...a lot. My family hurts, my son hurts, my head hurts from all the spinning in circles with these denials and appeals.
I really hate MITO, AUTISM, Xq28 CHROMOSOMAL DUPLICATION, SEIZURES, SENSORY PROCESSING DISORDER AND LEUKOENCEPHALOPATHY!!
THIS IS NOT THE WAY LIFE WAS SUPPOSE TO BE...... AND IT SUCKS! BUT AS MY FATHER WOULD SAY "SUCK IT UP MARINE!"

WHICH BY THE WAY REMINDS ME...RIP DADDY, 11 YEARS HAS GONE BY SO FAST. YOU ARE SO MISSED AND LOVED! 

I have a lot of work to do here! I will get to it soon.
Please know I have been keeping up on all of you and many prayers for you and your families!
Love,
Cory Marie and kids

2012 New Year New Resolution

Hello to all my blogger friends. It has been a rough year for the Frederick-Prohaska family but we got through it. Lots of health issues for Robby and I, along with two major surgeries for myself. I pulled away from writing because honestly I was really down about where I was in my health and Robby's.

In October we received some long overdue genetic results for Robby. Through the bloodwork it has been determined that he has a duplication in his Xq28 gene, an X chromosomal abnormality that affects boys. From what I know right now if I were to have another boy he would also be affected. Any girls I would have would only inherit the duplicated gene but would not be affected.

Am I sad? YES, this news was even harder to swallow because for so long we didn't know and I was starting to accept that we might not ever know and as soon as I was starting to accept not knowing, BOOM, it hit me like a Mack truck. I always wanted to have enough boys for my own hockey line or my own little league team. I always knew I was made to be the mother of boys. Lots of them. The reality is I was made to be the mother of one special little boy for his short little life.

I have a precious girl in Madison too. Don't get me wrong, she is amazing. But one girl is enough for me, LOL! She just celebrated her 10th birthday on Jan. 29. Crazy how the time flew by. Her and I have been enjoying weekend trips to Philadelphia for Flyers games and are getting ready for the Union season to start. I just finished paying off our season tickets and we have such a blast sitting in the supporters section together. It is our mommy/Maddy time, a few hours to get away from the hospitals and nurses with Robby, and enjoy reality for a little bit each weekend.

As for me, well please just keep me in your prayers for strength. Between the kids, medical issues of my own, other family issues and throw work on top of that, I could use strength to get through the days. Would be great if I could have some sort of love life to smile about, but I'm pretty sure I will be single forever at this point.

So that is where this single mom and her two beautiful children are in 2012 at least for the moment!

I will try to update at least once a week this year. I changed the blogger background but still need to update photos and some of the sidebar info. So that's my goal for now.   :-)

Hope you and your families are well!
