Linny, have you checked to see if your son is eligible for any state programs? When my dd was going thru cancer treatment our state (MN) had a program for children with serious conditions that didn't figure in the parents assets or income, called a TEFRA waiver. It also helped pay for meals, mileage, and parking, as we had to travel over 2 hours for treatments. Call your county Medical Assistance office.......can't hurt and they may retro back to help with some bills!
