Bruce walked up stairs in therapy all by himself without any assistance. We also finally got a proper diagnosis of ADHD instead of Autism. Just a typical Monday for a preemie parent.
Paul Ryan stated families like mine could save $700 a year with their tax plan. *sarcasm* That's fantastic!!! In about 967 years, I will have saved enough to pay for one of my son's medical bills from the NICU. #PrematurityAwarenessMonth
@Shinobihort Yeah they're wrecking it and telling us it's unaffordable. It's taken them three generations to wear it down so the young now don't realise what's been lost. Most people don't even know how much has already been privatised. Even if we did move to insurance based, we should model from Western Europe, but they will model on US, the worst value/most profitable healthcare in the Western world.
@Shinobihort @CZARKING It's sick. Here in the UK they're almost done dismantling the best healthcare system in the world to let the US companies take over.
@fka_erin It boils down to this:
Under current #NetNeutrality laws, your ISP is not allowed to treat any part of the Internet differently than any other part of the Internet.
The FCC and specifically their garbage Chairman who's in the pocket of the ISPs, are repealing that.
This means that if AT&T wants to make your access to Verizon based sites slower, they can. If they want to make Twitter and Facebook slow unless you pay more, they can. And if they want to sell your history, they can.
@Shinobihort Oh dear god. That's your bill!?! Absolutely disgusting that congress allows and enables this to continue. All the best to you and your family from 🇨🇦
Here's FCC head Pai's number if you want to call and leave a message supporting #NetNeutrality by the way - 202 418 1000
@Shinobihort The man is clueless to the needs and lives of average Americans. I really hope Randy Bryce and the folks in WI kick his ass to the curb!

Ladies and Gentlemen. We have just passed 5000 registered accounts. Awesome!!!! Kudos to @th3j35t3r
The preterm birth rate rose for the second straight year in 2016. Racial and ethnic differences in preterm birth rates remain. The rate of preterm birth among African-American women (14%) was about 50 percent higher than the rate of preterm birth among white women (9%). I spoke about these issues earlier this year at a townhall of over 600 people. The child on the screen is my son who spent 6 months in the NICU. #PrematurityAwarenessMonth
@Andynowacki I love the song you quoted in you bio. Haven't listened to it in a while *adds to playlist*
