I got a call today from the medically dependent child program the one Jackson is currently on. She was asking if I had set up nursing hours for Jackson. I have not. I was on the fence about having someone take care of my child regardless of the fact they were going to pay for someone to come in 49 hours a week. Yes I typed that right what would anyone do for 49 hours away from their child? I am a stay at home mom so am I supposed to be home and have someone take care of him? All of these are questions I hadn't decided on the answer to. So back to the phone call-- this lady starts saying your going to lose medicaid if you don't get this set up and is acting like I already know this information. I hate not knowing everything I need too, then being treated like I am stupid for not knowing. I guess I will be calling tomorrow to get nursing hours set up. I only have to use it once a month to keep medicaid so..... What the hell am I supposed to do? I have no clue! I realize this is a petty thing to be frustrated by and I should be grateful such a program exists and I am I just have a lot of emotions about leaving Jackson with anyone. I think I would feel guilty. If only I could get a housekeeper instead. HA HA HA!

I think I would use them like two or three times a week. Of course in the beginning I would stay and do housework or whatever until I was comfortabel. Then maybe later on down the line you could run out and get some shopping or errands done while you had nursing?
Just a thought, I understand your apprehension though. I am not sure what I would do either. I had nursing for two weeks when Makily was VERY little. That was back when she never slept though so I would catch up on sleep while the nurse was here.
Jen - you may not need them now while he is so young but you might need them later...(holy cow that's a lot of help!) We use 26 hours a week of support with Maia during the school year...It's funny tht they offer so much and it's an all or nothing deal?!
