If you do consider a wheel chairs cost. Working on moving Payton to a power chair that rotates to standing position. This chair is to big for her but worked for the test. As that chair sits $37,000 dollars.
We have a long fight now with 3 insurance companies . As of now all 3 combined say they will pay $5,000 of it. And approval may take up to a year.

Smitty what is the working life of such a wheelchair? With our weak currency at 15 to the $ a chair like that would cost over half a million over here. Getting assistance from an insurance company here would be the same as drawing water from a rock. My eldest granddaughter has two cochlea implants and the cost of those 10 years ago was around $40,000 for the pair.

Just an update. keep in mind we started this at the end of last school year. We now have the first of 3 levels of approval done. The first level requires the proof of need for a wheel chair. Now I am not a Doctor . But when 5 very well trained specialist made it clear 8 years ago, she will never walk. I would have assumed that cleared that up.
As for cost we will pay it . But you still have to play the game.
