6.20.06 Weds. pm Not Easy & Convalescing
Thanks for pursuing this. Most of the kids are convalescing there in the area with their various wounds. Sedated, quiet & recovering. It is not simple. One is still in the hospital and will be there in the area possibly for some while longer. The Walkers are hold up around there for a while near the hospitals. Some of the injuries are very complex. The hospitals are stablizing and moving the paitents out, as fast as they can. The kids are sedated and quiet mostly outside the hospitals. Most of the ones released are black and blue in various ways.. The son who broke his arm and shoulder is down and out with a lot with pain and pain medication. His is a very complex break and surgery. They are not just 'fine' and coming home quite yet. The system is trying to get them out the door but the prognosis for several of them is very complicated with many different recovery possibilites. The system while patching them up is sending them out the door as fast as it can. The last child to leave hospital is very precarious and they are trying to discharge soon. Like tomorrow. That aspect of the care is extremely sketchy, as they say. Discharged to what? What is their thinking? Part of it is that she is uninsured, it is the system. She is an older child just out of school who is not on the family health policy. Uninsured. Hers is the most complex injury. These kind of uninsured kids are not an uncommon occurance in America now. They refer to it as the 'bubble' between family insurance and adult life. I would imagine that it is taking a lot of out-of-pocket money for them all to be there. Heidi works for MUM, which we know what that means as far as means. Sending some support to her by her address in Fairfield is one way of getting her some cash to go on. People here are tending her home matters. US postal mail to her house will get to her. Heidi Walker has gone back to her maiden name.
