On splash one week and she is looking better. Unfornitonly Splash is way to expensive. We can not afford to give her the amount she needs. Our co-pay is 20% of around 5000 to 8000 a month. I applied for help but due to our income we were denied help. You can only get help if you make less than 800 a month.
