Day 74 - August 28 - More Prayer
The insurance company told us today that they won't pay for the hospital after tonight. They still want us to go to the LTAC. We had a physiatrist (a rehab doctor) evaluate the boy this morning, and his recommendation was "acute inpatient rehabilitation", get him weaned off the vent, and go from there. Hopefully this will help persuade Blue Cross that an LTAC is not the place for the boy.
We have asked Santa Clara Valley to re-evaluate the boy based on his current condition. University of Washington has agreed to take him based on bed availability (currently projected for September 8). UW doesn't do some of the things Valley does. Valley was pretty discouraging when they evaluated him earlier. Blue Cross hasn't agreed to pay for any of them. So there's many variables and directions pulling at us, and we don't really have a clear leading on any of them. Your prayer would be appreciated.

I thought there was also a place close to your home....Saratoga? I thought they took "children/young adults" with Connors problems? Have you tried contacting them again? Perhaps if you continue to see improvement in Connor all the previous places can re-evaluate him and make a second opinion.
Just a thought. :0/
Praying with you...to the God Who is in control!

You are sooo in our prayers!!!! We will be praying for immediate and correct doors to open. Insurances are something, for them to give you till midnight, is heartless! Going to the Lord in prayer right now.
Love you all in the Lord!

What is it with insurance companies? It makes you wonder why we pay all those premiums when they fight paying the bills. Sixteen years ago our insurance company was forcing us into court. Trenton's bill for three weeks in pediatric ICU was about $180,000. If that was the case that long ago I can't imagine how Connor's bill is growing, but that is why we have insurance.
If I can encourage you in any way it would be this: just try to not let the insurance get you down, enjoy your boy every chance you get. Trent would be 18 today. We missied his graduation, sports and everything else since toddler hood. Praise the Lord for the gift of Connor's life and for this moment enjoy the boy.
Nothing to share that hasn't been shared before...but we are praying. Storming the throne. Begging God to intervene.
You are loved.

Our family will be praying for God's clear direction for you as you begin this new chapter in Connor's care. May the Lord give you peaceful rest tonight.
