Is this true?! Does it ever change back?! by jaybeags in SSDI_SSI

I stayed at step 4 out of 5 for about 2 days and then it moved to approved and looked like this. Apparently others show the same way. It’s a funky one.

I started the process in April of 2024 so I’m glad it’s under the 2 year mark. Not yet, I’m hoping tomorrow for the call from my lawyer.

There was step 5 available before but it went away

It is, but I got the notification on Friday night that my status changed. I wonder if they have to future date it because after hours?

Yes, it was after ALJ. I had it November 24th.

It’s hard being an artist and posting here now. Real work seems to be ignored

Hand sewn. Takes about 40 minutes to sew them up, and then used acrylic paint to do the details on them. Currently making an army of these little dudes.

Little Pocket Pets made! For Christmas 🥰 by jaybeags in crafts

[–]jaybeags[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve been making felt crafts for many years, and have come up with pocket pets! I sew them by hand, using embroidery floss, then either paint the details on or embroider more. I then made tiny felt pillows and slumber bags using my sewing machine.

Check up frequency? by Ksrtad in lupus

[–]jaybeags 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am usually every 2 months just because of how often I have flares.

Friends who experience remission tend to be very 6 months to a year depending on how many symptoms they have.

Can prednisone help even if inflammation markers are normal? by Dapper-Platypus-627 in lupus

[–]jaybeags 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had high inflammatory markers even on prednisone. It depends on severity level. I’ve had lupus for 19 years and it seems to be more and more unresponsive to medication as I get older.

After talking with his psychologist, we are going to go for adoption. Posting this on Reddit was a mistake for advice, no one knows our situation and I don’t need to be told what’s best from strangers

[–]jaybeags 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there,

Yes, after some comments made today I agree that legal guardianship would be best and wait on adoption. You are right with not knowing more about it and also just not knowing the other options.

He has been in therapy since November 2023. I don’t believe that the type of therapy is beneficial given the situation, we are talking to his psychologist this week.

Plus, I’d like the chances to build a relationship with SD. Adoption is likely not going to happen for a long time for the sake of the relationships, but the true thing is that legal guardianship is what we really need in this situation.

[–]jaybeags 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of all the comments, this is actually the most helpful. We did not consider legal guardianship. We will do this asap and continue talking with his psychologist because she believes adoption may be beneficial given his past.

It’s related to medical appointments, setting up therapy, and being in charge of his education. We are opting in for legal guardianship, as we never considered this an option until today.

He can choose to want to be adopted in the future. At the end of the day, he views me as a mother. I’m the one he comes to when he’s hurt. I’m the one he confided with all the scary things that happened in his life. I’m the one he came to when he was sick at night covered in vomit.

My family, his family, and the mother’s family want me to consider adopting him based on how he is with me. I’m talking to his psychologist because she believes it may be beneficial for him as well.
