Hi Kathryn - Diane asked me to take a look at your post, and I'd be happy to help you. First, though, I need a better understanding of what you mean by "He has had therapy and is still going to his therapy sessions, but his health insurance is at the point where they are trying to drop him." Do you mean they are trying to cancel all of his coverage, or do you mean they are saying he has reached the limit of his coverage for therapy? What have they done or said that would indicate they are "trying to drop him?"
My next question is, where is he being treated and what therapy is being provided? There is a huge difference in patient outcomes for those treated in specialized stroke rehabilitation treatment programs. Is your friend receiving any forms of therapy beyond physical therapy such as speech therapy, occupational therapy and support for cognitive development?
Diane has asked where you live and I hope you'll respond so we can help research the medical facilities and support organizations in your area. I'm truly sorry to hear that your friend's been dealing with these problems for three years, but glad to know that he's reconnected with you. Let's see what we can do, together, to help him move forward with his life.
Take good care, Pat
