Well, my second daughter :babybot: was born September 20th & spent 10 days in NICU, which wasn't cheap. We have insurance, fortunately, but still owe about $7000 for all the medical expenses. Since she was born with lung problems, she wasn't released for daycare until 6 weeks, which meant I was out of work for that time. So, we not only had the medical bills, but the loss of income for about 2 months. I finally returned to work in November & the place where I was employed was destroyed by a fire on December 7th. Right after returning to work in November, we moved back into town, which cost us more money for all of the utility and home deposits. Definitely, not good considering the previous time off of work & upcoming Christmas :tree: with my 2 young daughters. So... money was borrowed from family members in order to help out until I could return to work. So, I started my new job @ the nursing home 3 weeks ago & I'm looking forward to starting to get caught back up & out of the whole that my family has been in for the past 4 months.

Sounds like a really tough spot Cori. You're on the right track with the new job and now you've come to the right place for help. :hugz:

She is doing great! growing like a weed! she is required 3 breathing treatments daily, but that is much better than the every 3 hours treatments when we first came home. so that is a relief. thanks!
