EFM ? - Special Needs Children

~~Donna~~ · 02-18-2009, 12:00 PM

So with all this new stuff with Gabe. Think I can hold off adding to his EFM till we get to Norfolk??? This base is REALLY hard to deal with EFM, so I really dont want to unless it will hurt something. I mean we are already going to a base that is big enough to deal with whatever it is that comes from all this.

What do you all think?

Norfolk hospital is huge from what I have heard. When are you going? I think if you talk to the pead there and let them know, just say you didn't have the time to add it before the move, I think it would be ok.

See we all see civi's here. Which is what makes doing EFM stuff a PITA. We arent leaving here till the end of summer. Gabe will already be seen at Portsmouth for his oncology and cardiology stuff. I dont see how adding another specialist will be that big of a deal??? I dont know....

would it bump you back up to where you got housing automatically?

I dont know if it would. He is already a cat 3. So I dont know if this will push us back up to a 4 or not.

IME the civilian docs make you out worse than you are. I was a cat 2 then we had to renew and all I added was lexapro and now I'm a cat 3. so maybe its worth a shot?

You might want to have it reevaluated before you move. If it bumps him back up to a Cat 4 then you would get priority housing which would be helpful if you plan on moving into housing. If you plan on living out in town then I wouldn't worry about it until after you move.

We are already on the housing list in Norfolk. We are already at the top of the list and they are just skipping over us till we are ready to take one. So housing isnt really an issue, unless DH changes his mind on where he wants to live. Maybe I should change it, just in case.
