MIA: Diberticulitis and more

So, I've been missing. I really have tried to keep up but really? Being a SAHM of 2 special needs kids is tough. LOL I really don't have anything to compare it to I must say. I never was a SAHM and never had 2 special needs children. And never had 2 little ones at home at once anyways. But anywho...I had a flar up of the diberticulitis that I didn't know I had. And wound up in the hospital on IV antibiotics for 2 days. Then I spent the next 14 days at home recovering from that mess. Then the adjustment of staying home and everything has really taken it's toll. I've got to run for the day but I just wanted to check in. I'll be back tomorrow for more info!!

Call to action!! MR Services in Pa might be cut

Some People Currently Receiving Services from the MR System Will Lose Their Services!

From The Arc of PA
This is an urgent message for all persons and their families who are currently receiving services from the Mental Retardation System. The proposed budget passed by the Pennsylvania Senate (SB 850) not only eliminates all money for the waiting list but terminates services for up to 3,550 people currently receiving services. This includes up to 550 people in the Consolidated Waiver and 3000 people receiving family support.

Today, Tuesday and Wednesday we are asking you to focus your attention on some of the leaders that will be integral in shaping a final state budget for Pennsylvania, the Chairmen of the Senate and House Appropriations Committees and Governor Rendell. Here's what you MUST do: On Monday, June 1: Call Senator Jake Corman. He is the Majority Appropriations Committee Chairman. His number is 717-787-1377 .
