An idea of where the funds are being used :-
Jason goes to feeding therapy once a week on a Thursday afternoon. We are wanting to increase Jason's speech therapy to twice a week now. One morning session at school which will be his speech to assist him with his speech, communication and makaton signs and the other on Thursday afternoons which is his feeding therapy where the therapist works with his oral aversion, oral massage, chewing and encourages him to try different tastes and textures. Speech therapy is going really well but once a week is just not enough for speech and feeding therapy. Feeding therapy is currently R1,000.00 per month and we need to add one session a week for his speech and communication.
Jason is still on his pediasure as he is still on continuous night feeds. We have to buy him 5 large tins a month. Formula costs us min R1,000.00 per month.
School fees cost R5,000.00 per month as he goes to a fantastic special needs school where he also gets his occupational therapy, now horse riding therapy and aqua therapy.
Our medical savings account has been up for some time now and we are having to pay cash for all his medication and doctors bills.
