This mom is living in Davidson county just up I-85 from us. Her insurance company isn't covering the cost of necessary over the counter items to help her son born with congenital icthyosis. Here's a link to sign a petition and also sample letters to mail to the NC General Assembly to make them change the covereage laws. There are some graphic pictures of her child as a newborn - you may not want to scroll to the bottom of the page if you're sqeamish.
