Malama ana i ko'u Ohana
I koʻu kākau ʻana i kēia, ke noho nei au ma ka ʻaoʻao o kaʻu kāne, e hana ana i ka maʻi pneumonia. Ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e ʻeha ma kahi o hoʻokahi pule i hala. Hoʻokahi kipa i ka mālama koʻikoʻi a me kahi huakaʻi i ka lumi ulia pōpilikia i hōʻike ʻia he maʻi ʻino ʻo ia o ka maʻi pneumonia. ʻO ka mahina ʻelua wale nō kēia o ka makahiki, a ua loaʻa mua i kā mākou ʻinikua deductible. Ke hoʻohui mākou i kahi ʻokiʻoki e hiki mai ana e hana kaʻu keiki i ka mahina aʻe, e ʻoi aku mākou ma mua o kā mākou ʻeke o waho no ka makahiki. Loaʻa i koʻu ʻohana kekahi mau pilikia olakino e hoʻokō mau ai mākou i kēia mau palena. No kekahi, ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke hōʻea i kā lākou deductible. Eia naʻe, he mea nui e ʻike i nā kikoʻī āpau o ka hoʻolālā ʻinikua no kou ʻohana ponoʻī. He mea nui nō hoʻi e hoʻomaopopo i kekahi o nā huaʻōlelo ʻinikua ola kino, hiki iā ʻoe ke aʻo hou e pili ana ma healthcare.gov/sbc-glossary/.
Ma muli o kekahi o nā pilikia lapaʻau i ʻōlelo ʻia ma mua, ʻike mau ʻia mākou e nā loea like ʻole. ʻOiai e loaʻa ana iā mākou kahi kope, hiki ke unuhi ʻia, a i ʻole kekahi kālā ʻē aʻe a mākou e kuleana ai, ʻo ka nui o ke kālā a mākou i mālama ai ma ka loaʻa ʻana o ka ʻinikua olakino ua aneane hiki ʻole ke ana. ʻO ka mea hiki ʻole iaʻu ke ana ʻo ka nui o ke kaumaha, ka hopohopo, a me ka noiʻi pūnaewele aʻu e hana ai inā ʻaʻole iaʻu ʻinikua no koʻu ʻohana. Ua ʻike mākou inā loaʻa kahi pilikia olakino i loko o koʻu ʻohana (he nui nā mea i loaʻa), ʻaʻole pono mākou e kānalua i ka loaʻa koke ʻana o ka mālama. ʻOiai ʻo ia ke kumu kūʻai pinepine ʻana iā mākou i kekahi mea, ʻoiai inā ʻaʻole mākou i hiki i ko mākou ʻeke kiʻekiʻe no ka makahiki, e emi loa ke kumukūʻai me ka ʻinikua ma mua o ka ʻole.
ʻAʻole i nā manawa pilikia e hoʻomaha wau a lawe i kahi manawa e mahalo ai no ka ʻinikua. Me ka nui o nā lāʻau i lawe ʻia e koʻu ʻohana, hiki iā mākou ke wehe i kahi lāʻau lapaʻau liʻiliʻi. ʻO ka manawa pinepine, hiki ke kūʻai ʻia kēia mau lāʻau i nā haneli kālā a ʻoi aku paha me ka ʻole o ka ʻinikua. ʻO nā inhalers, antibiotics, steroids, kēia mau mea āpau e hāʻawi i kaʻu mau keiki i kahi ola ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, ʻoi aku ka ʻoluʻolu, i kekahi manawa hiki ke kūʻai nui i nā poʻe he nui ʻole ka ʻinikua e haʻalele i ka hoʻopiha ʻana iā lākou. No ka mea he ʻinikua kā mākou, hiki iā mākou ke kiʻi i nā lāʻau kūpono no kaʻu mau keiki i ka wā e pono ai lākou.
Hiki i ka 'inikua ke lilo i mea paʻakikī ke hoʻomaopopo, me ka nui o nā wehewehe like ʻole a me nā hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi loa.
