OMG!! I have Medicaid help with LilBit!!
It’s been a long road. Yesterday, was laundry day, and the owner of laundromat ( who set up a table with mags, for her) and I were talking, and he said, “ my Mother worked in mental health. She told me Medicaid will allow you to hire help on your own”
And he offered to do “wash and fold “ for us.
And , I felt good. Called Medicaid, they agreed, sent authorization. And I knew this would happen,
Medicaid just called me now “ we found an in home agency,for her personal care, Her hours are approved . Someone will be calling you”
I’m ecstatic right now! After all these months, there is light.

It's great news that you will have some help.
I recall you posting how good of a day you had yesterday and after talking with that owner, today's even better.
What a great, unexpected surprise! Just goes to show… 
and I truly teared up a little (a LilBit? 
) when I learned that you were going to get some help like this.
God bless you, LilBit, and Medicaid! And the laundromat guy!!!
You just made my day, I'm so happy for you both!
You've sounded so tired. Finally, you get some well-deserved rest! 
Caregiving is the hardest job in the world, yet so critically important. Resources that provide help are precious and few. Congratulations!!! Very happy for you!
Congratulations!
