this is exactly where i started. we had the best insurance. and although they picked up all Avery's surgeries, because he was born with cleft/cranio, instead of fighting i just finally did it on my own.

insurance doesnt even pay for the T. i pay out of pocket for everything.

there is a dr in nyc that does some surgeries for a fraction of the cost if you can prove you dont have the resources and sometimes doesnt charge you at all.
