Connor

Connor was born with spinal muscular atrophy.  His breathing is impaired and pneumonia is a constant threat.  He cannot walk, turn over, or eat by mouth, but he can certainly talk!  As we were talking with his mother, he was chattering away, playing with toy animal figures.  Despite his numerous handicaps, he is a delight and full of life.

His mother contacted our office because the medical supply company that provided Connor’s life-sustaining medical equipment was demanding payment from Connor’s parents.  In fact, TennCare was responsible for paying for this medically necessary service.  TennCare agreed and paid the bill, removing the threat of Connor losing vital services.
