The lock in was fun! We danced all night and enjoyed acting goofy. 150 Girl Scouts and 50 troop leaders = great time!I'm sorry to hear about Bella's recent problems and will keep you guys in my thoughts and prayers. Hoping the appt goes well and relatively stress-free for you today! Enjoy your lock-in and I hope you get at least some time to relax over the weekend.
I hope the HGH helped your sons. I know that is an expensive and painful process for little ones to go through.That's just very distressing news! I"m really sorry to hear that she might have the g-tube in again. I know that would be so very disappointing!
I'll really be praying as you have those meetings today!! That's really important to keep! My sons were on growth hormone for a very long time, and every year, it was the same thing. Do they qualify? Will we have benefits??
I'm relaxing right now! Took a hot bath and did a little reading. And I had so much fun with the girls last night while poor DH was stuck home doing laundry - No Boys Allowed! LOLStephanie, I am sorry to hear about Bella's increased difficulties and will be keeping her in my thughts for no G-tube and also that your meeting goes well today. We all no how important that insurance is. I hope you have a little time to relax this weekend and you enjoy your time with the kids.
I hope your dad is able to get a secondary insurance policy for you. Medical stuff can be really expensive!thats awesome that she doesn't have a feed tube anymore! I hope the insurance stuff goes well. My dad is in the process of getting me extra medical insurance, too.
Bella is very picky about how she looks in pictures. She went through a phase last year where she would only take a good picture for me if she had a bow in her hair. I figured it was her wish trip and I wasn't going to force her to take pictures if she was embarassed about her outfit.Stefani-
Loved all your US updates. Sorry Bella got sick. How funny that Bella didn't want her picture taken because she had a mis-matched outfit on. Too funny. Loved the chart of everyone's likes too.
She didn't miss a beat when she woke up from dinner and asked about the party. Smart as a whip huh?
I hope everything goes well with your insurance meeting.
Praying for Bella right now!!
sending prayers your way for Bella and that the insurance rep understands how much you need the secondary insurance and Bella qualifies.
Thanks!
Thank you everyone for your prayers and positive thoughts. Our meeting yesterday went as well as could be expected. The rep told me that while she was reviewing Bella's case (before she arrived) based on last year's information, she was almost certain Bella wouldn't qualify. However, Bella has had 4 new diagnoses this year as well as 1 more hospitalization and now the possibility of a g-tube in the future. As a 5 year old, Bella would be borderline for qualifying. But since she is so close to 6, the representative said she was going to recommend the committee review her as a 6 year old. That is good news for us, but nothing will be decided for several more weeks. Now we just sit and wait for a letter in the mail approving or denying coverage.
As for Bella herself, we have now started her on the third medication. She has had just one dose, but the numbers are consistent with what they've been with the other meds. We need to give it a couple more days to see if there is any effect. Meals continue to be a struggle. We have appointments with doctors on the 1st and 8th of February to discuss options with GI and Endocrinology.
Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers! I'm off to work on the Pirates and Princess Party installment of my TR!
