My 13 year old daughter had Cystic Fibrosis with MRSA and Type 2 Diabeties. Her health has declined to the point that she can no longer attened school. So how do I homeschool her and still provide finacially? And how do I maintain health insurance for my own numerouse health problems if I am not working? I am lost and scared.

First off, let me say that I'm sorry to hear about your situation.

About your dilemma, I don't know what Ohio has to offer, but I do know California has a program called GHPP, Genetically Handicapped Persons Program. I have no idea how long you have to live in California before you get to participate, nor do I know if such a program exists in Ohio. But I do know that we used this program for a time when I was at a different job making less money, and it helped reduce many doctor's bills significantly. Unfortunately this only applies to your daughter, I don't believe this would apply to you.
