Hi, I live in Asheville. Most available subsidized health care will be within your resident county in NC. I don't know if you have already, but you should check the DSS in Henderson Co, and try to find out what you can do to be seen at the Health Dept. there. Usually they will base your payment amount, if any, on your income. In Buncombe Co, we have an assistance program thru ABCCM (Asheville,Bunc Community Christian Ministry) that will help pay your expenses, but I don't know if you have to be a resident of BuncCo.??  Hope you find something soon. Best of luck to you. ... by the way - how on earth do you qualify for medicare A,B,D and not medicaid? I would re-apply and/or appeal if I were you. Certainly the DSS will reconsider.

Neonatal convulsions and seizures often time occur due to birthing trama.  The birthing process often time displaces the child’s cervical vertebra and cranial bones.  This can do a number of things from obstructing veinous drainage from inside the cranium, pulling on the dura mater that surrounds the brain and attaches to the first two cervical vertebra, could also put pressure on the spinal cord.  This pressure will cause an over stimulation of the muscular control centers of the brain and this will cause the body to go into convulsions and seizures in an attempt to relieve this pressure.  Chiropractic has had a large amount of success with correcting spinal and cranial subluxations or misalignments.  I suggest seeking a quality chiropractor that works with pediatric patients and also one that does cranial work.  Here is a sites I suggest reading!\nhttp://www.icpa4kids.org/research/chiropractic.htm\nhttp://www.icpa4kids.org/research/chiropractic/birthtrauma.htm\nhttp://www.icpa4kids.org/research/chiropractic/epilepsy.htm\n\nYou can also search for a chiropractor on these pages!\nMy prayers are with you.

Look up pediatricians in your local phonebook and start calling. Most people (in my experience anyway) are happy to talk to you about what they do for a living.

Without a doubt, Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia.\n\nhttp://www.chop.edu/consumer/jsp/division/service.jsp?id=27699\n\nWhen you click on "Meet the Team," it says, "Adult Care Team," but this is really the staff of the pediatric CF center.  The adult center is next door at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.\n\nChild Magazine and US News and World Report have ranked CHOP as #1 in the nation for 3 and 4 years now.\n\nSeveral of their pulmonologists have been rated "Top Doc's" in Philadelphia Magazine.

You need to take her to a pediatric neurologist. If she suddenly started having these problems, you might consider a visit to the emergency room. If these problems began slowly, you could consider getting an appointment ASAP with a boad certified pediatric neurologist and have your daughter's condition thoroughly checked out. \n\nThis sounds far enough out of the ordinary that you really need to see a pediatric neurology specialist as soon as possible.

Try contacting St. Jude's childrens hospital or your local Shriners

I don't live in the area, but your phone book should be a start if you have nothing else to go on.  It is better to have references, though.  You may want to contact your local hospital to direct you.  Good luck and God bless.

open your phone book to the yellow pages.  Call your regular doctor and get a referal.  Look up the hospital closest to you and look at the Doctors who specialize in that area.  I hope this is what you are looking for.  You are a little vague there.

Unfortunately I do not live in that area but if you wish to find a good preschool for your child then sometimes researching the hard way is the best way. Depending on what you are looking for in a preschool depends on if it is going to be good for your child or not. I would suggest calling every nursey school/ preschool in the yellow pages and asking them to visit the place in person. Going during nap time is not a good time to see the school in action. Interviewing the staff and watching the children will be the best way to find a preschool that fits your needs. Also calling your child's pediatrician and asking their advice or if there is a children's hospital in your area they sometimes will provide you with a list of highly rated preschools. Hope this helps.

I would have him evaluated by a pediatric specialty team at your nearest children's hospital or rehab center. My daughter was dx'd with ADD/ADHD/PDD-NOS and then High-functioning Autism by her ped and later by state funded physical and occupational therapists through early intervention. She was medicated at the school's insistence for ADHD. When that made things worse instead of better, we had her evaluated at our local pediatric rehabilitation center and learned that she was actually a perfect match for the symptoms/actions of Aspergers Syndrome and early onset bi-polar disorder. The reason the meds made things worse was that with bi-polar, you can't give just the anti-depressant, you have to do a mood stabilizer as well, or the manic symptoms will intensify and often times go out of control. Hope you find the help you need to help your child

Unfortunately I don't know of a web site for you  ---  but my son has a VP Shunt for the same cause - congenital hydrocephalus.  His neurosurgeon actually allowed our daughter to "borrow" a VP Shunt to do a "show & tell" in school years ago.\n\nMy son is nearly 23 now and doing great.  Had his first shunt when he was 4 days old.  \n\nTalk to your doc and ask to "see & hold" one... that might help you to understand it more.
