Ugh, this car seat issue!

So, in my previous post I said I eventually found out that Desi's doctor never put in an order with durable medical equipment. After leaving messages, I spoke with a nurse today who said the order never went into because he was advised it would be declined for all temporary casts. So, I guess if your kid is not able to fit in his car seat for a few weeks or months, Kaiser doesn't really give a damn. She said I could take a denial of service letter to a company they contract with and see what they could do. My next call was to that company, where a very confused representative said they absolutely do not do private rentals or sales, they only contract with insurance companies. I asked her what my next step would be and she said, "With our company? Nothing." I'm so glad I spent two hours on the phone to deal with your attitude, lady. The picture to the left shows what Desi was up to while I was making all these calls.

I really don't know what parents do in this situation. I know Desi doesn't have that much longer in the cast, but what about all the other babies? Sometimes they are in this cast for 6-8 weeks! I filed a formal complaint about this issue with member services and told them I'd be sending them any seatbelt ticket I received for Desi being forward facing. Here is how he fits in his seat right now. It looks really uncomfortable!

In other news, Orion has an orthodontist appointment today and needs braces on the top. So there's $2000 well spent. And of course the dental hydeginists were wearing scrubs, which upset Desi.

After the Orthodontist my parents picked up Orion for a little vacation. He's been a huge help this last week and has earned a break, for sure! Desi and I took a little nap together now that the house was quiet. Then it was time for dinner. The look on his face is my warning he's about to give all that broccoli to the dog.
