FIGHT FOR 2ND TRANSPLANT IS OVER . . . OR IS IT?

The Arbitration has gone in favor of the insurance company. 

While Mr. Thomason states he believes there to be more benefit than risk he could not find the insurance company negligent in the wording of the policy that clearly states there will be no tandem SCT for those considered "high risk".

It has been brought to our attention that while the insurance won't cover the actual transplant, the plan would cover some of the procedures pre and post transplant.  We have started an investigation into just what that would mean and the total out of pocket it would take to move forward with transplant.  This will take all week.  In the meantime the biggest or first question that needs to be answered is:  given that Glen had the 1st transplant 6 months ago, is there still time to continue our efforts in order for the 2nd transplant to be effective?

I've had my day of tears.  I know without doubt who is in charge.  I feel I'm being guided and told it is still not time to give up.  Maybe there is still yet another hurdle we have to get over before we reach the end of this particular quest.

I'm so very sadden in that a favorable decision could have meant something of significance for many others who find themselves in this same situation.

I am ever determined,
Vannette

Nothing!

Well it is the end of business on a Friday.  Not one word today from Mr. Thomason.  Nothing.  NOW, we have the whole weekend to wait and wonder.  Glen does have to be in clinic first thing Monday morning for Day 1, Cycle 2; Velcade.  A decision today may have brought a change to the schedule for Monday.

I am not patiently waiting,
Vannette

I THANK GOD

My heart is so full tonight.  I find peace and comfort in music.

The Calm Before the Storm???

All is quiet as to the arbitration.  For days many e-mails have flown back and forth between interested parties.  We have heard nothing, not one thing for two full days.  Mr. Thomason, the Arbitrator stated on Tuesday evening that he was preparing his answer with week's end as a goal to rule.

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart" . . .

Trying so very hard to keep strong,

CAMDEN WADE

Here are pictures of our newest grandson, Camden Wade.  He was born at 10:28pm on 09/27/11.  Weighed in at 5 lbs.  The cord was wrapped around his neck and there was a tight knot in the cord that had restricted the amount of nutrition he was receiving.  All of this of course was unknown until he was delivered by c-section.  Mom and baby are doing fantastic.  His older brother who is 11 years old weighed in at 8 lbs. 7 oz.  Not expecting a new one that is so small, we have had to purchase new smaller clothing for this little guy.  I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.

I am a child of God and He has sent me here.

Has given me an earthly home with parents kind and dear.

Lead me, guide me, walk beside me.  Help me find the way.

Teach me all that I must learn to live with Him some day.
