it's just wrong





To send bills BEFORE the child who just had half his brain removed is even discharged!




That's right, folks.




Not only am I so exhausted I can hardly keep my boot-tay on this chair. I also have a pile of bills. Bills that were WAITING for us. Now get to be exhausted AND I must sift. Which really means call the various billing (lairs) departments and see what hasn't been billed correctly. Or what won't be covered.




Sweet! Can't wait...




Oh...and on a quick happy non-sarcastic note...




Took Trevy to school today. I know...I'm slightly off my rocker. I've come to terms with myself.




Buuuut...not only did his teachers smother him in love and hugs!




He did amazing! Even took three solo baby steps!




Which is just heart-warmingly fabulous...




But I still don't wanna make those calls.

I live in Canada and can't for the life of me understand why America doesn't want to take care of their sick. I hear so much about the nightmare of hospital bills and co-pays. I am so thankful that we don't have to deal with that here. That is the LAST thing you need right now.

Wow, school?! That's amazing. :)

That is just down right disgusting!!!!!!! COME ON PEOPLE! I don't even know what else to say, except, they can wait a few days (weeks, perhaps...). You deserve uninterrupted, no nurse popping in, no IV beeping and no puking....SNUGGLE TIME!!!!!

Ok, you put tears in my eyes when you wrote that Trev took a few steps on his own! I was not expecting that so soon!!! I am so happy for you all!!!

BUT...I'm now mad that they sent bills before you were even discharged. I mean, REALLY? Course it could have been worse, they could have brought them right to you in the hospital right?! lol

Praise the Lord for those little feet working!!!! I could not have heard anything more uplifting!

The hospital bill thing? Sucks Sucks Sucks!!! I would take my own pretty sweet time....From what I have been told, as long as you stay in contact (with your slobbering sweet, apologetic self), they pretty much will give you time....I can only imagine that stack waiting for you!

Hopefully there won't be much of a co-pay for you....Will pray for that!

And once again....GO TREVY!!!!

I cried when I got the news

I felt like such a heel not going with Trevy for his first post hemi EEG. Yeeeeeees...Jonathan went with him. Yeeeeeees...he's just as good as me. But still! He's my baby! I was instead sitting on floor 6 east waiting for Neurology to get their boots here and help me sort out this medicine mess! Seriously it's like a bad joke...how many Neurologists does it take to write a bloody script? And fax prior authorizations? Cause Trevy's been back for hours now. And I'm STILL waiting! Anyway... Jonathan had just stepped out to meet the pizza delivery guy when Dr. EEG made his rounds. Of course I asked immediately if he had read the EEG. Of course he had. That's why he was there afterall. And I cried when he told me... that for the first time in almost two years. For the first time since this whole crazy mess began. my baby's EEG is completely normal! Side Note: It's super fun to sob in front of Japanese men and watch them squirm When I kept repeati...

I sure hope...

they grow back curly! Saw the "unknown" flashing on the face of my cell phone and knew who it was. Who it had to be. Dr. Fellow. My eyes met Grams' and I nodded. Grams has a pool, see. For super hot days like today. We're also having a septic installed. Which meant no water or facilities at my place. But those weren't really the reasons I was there. Close to mom. The purple ringing thing in my hand was. Only I wasn't prepared for it to be ringing SO darn soon. Shortly after lunch instead of dinner! I swallowed. Took a deep breath. And clicked connect. Dr. Fellow has a very nice phone tone. Clear. Hint of compassion. If only a stitch of humor were added...it'd be heavenly. But there was no humor. Just business. He's very direct. I'm learning that about him. Which explains his short hello. Followed by immediately pushing into the news. Being that it was a unanimous consensus. The entire surgical committee feels Trevor is a good candidate. And then p...

it's like being asked to the prom...

only MUCH MUCH bigger! I had noticed (yes...I stalk my site meter!) that a government ISP had logged onto Trevor's blog. Whoever it was had spent a good deal of time hanging out too. Followed a few minutes later by a government ISP...hailing from Washington. As in DC! My eyebrow raised. It was just kinda odd. Note-able odd. You know? Anyway...later that day (last week) I was folding laundry & thinking my crazy insane thoughts. Along these lines... I hope I'm not saying anything I shouldn't! Maybe I made somebody mad? Wait a minute! I live in America! I'm allowed to say anything I want! Aren't I???? A shout from the other room interrupted my thoughts before I had a chance to further mull. It was Jonathan. I had just received an email. **Side note...he's always doing that! Reading my emails! Sheesh!*** The said email was from a US Senator's aide! Asking if he could speak with me. Little ole' hardly has time to splash some make-up on ...
