The prayers exhilarate us and wish from everyone who sent a message to us with our current situation. I wonder, who we are to receive such gestures from the folks around the other side of the screen and this humbles us to be more than we can this time around.
As of writing, we are still searching for places where we can get Dyn's therapies in the future in San Pablo. We found some that offer a cheaper cost and most likely we will be acquiring that if push comes to shove. The only problem is their services are on the wait list as the number of therapists cannot accommodate their patients.
Services Offered from Playskills Occupational Therapy Clinic for Children
Occupational Therapy (OT) Assessment - ₱1850.00 / 98 Hive as of writing OT per session per hour - ₱800.00 - 43 Hive as of writing Speech Therapy (ST) Assessment - ₱ 2000.00 - 107 Hive as of writing ST per session per hour - ₱ 800.00 - 43 Hive as of writing
Thus, doing the calculations for both therapies, I will need to earn 4,322 Hive overall to achieve this goal. As I searched for our medical provider, I saw that Speech Therapy is being covered however, there is an exclusion that the provider will not be paying if in case of the following:
Neuro-developmental disorders such as ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder), Autism, Genetic Disorders which may result in Mental Retardation (e.g. Down Syndrome), and other conditions which may require speech/physical and other related therapies
Since Dyn's case is considered as GDD, we are praying that it can be covered as this will cut down our expenses in half if it happen.
We were planning to tell my mom about Dyn's situation come next week. She is aware that we went to the doctor last Saturday for Dyn's check-up but never intrigued us on what is the status afterwards. She knows that I will not tell her not until I am ready to spill the tea. When she heard the news via our video call tears started to fall on her eyes, mine as well. She'll try to figure something out to at least shell some seed funding for our little one, and will ask my siblings to help too.
TBH - we are not used to asking money to everyone, that includes us siblings to each other, I am hesitant to ask also since they have their own problems to deal with in finances and paying them back might be challenge going forward.
The plan right now, is continued Hiving and provide some updates and still work on with community building etc. I may not be that active during daytime ( PH Time) as we are currently doing fasting with our mobile devices as April and I agreed that we will be more intentional in building Dyn's vocabulary and her being assertive with housework. Earlier we just played catch and throw the ball.
A simple, boring and repetitive task but is required somehow so that she can work with the instructions. Something that she lacks at most.
After the diagnosis, there are instances wherein both of us stare blankly in space but each time that we saw some improvements. Small gestures, words being uttered and copied from us and actions being done correctly a glimpse of heaven is always at door.
Again all thanks to Hive as if I did not encounter this site way back 2017 ( Steemit days) maybe I am in the limbo, processing everything on my own.
