Caden’s Page

I am still on travel in Alabama, but I did receive some great news. I received a call from a division of the governor’s office. The call was concerning the Medicaid waiver waiting list. The lady calling today has been assisting us by communicating with a division of the Department of Health and Human Services. […]

It was a Happy Mother’s Day at the Osborne house. We had Grandma, Grandpa, Nana, Aunt Becke, and cousin Kurt here to celebrate Mother’s Day.
