Catching up

May 16th, 2006 at 07:53 pm

Worked extra today - getting ready for the Tuesday-Thursday preschool class' final day field trip on Thursday. The kids were squirrely today, though luckily, we could play a long while outside.

Payed off the last of the hospital bills from March. The facility that my oldest goes to weekly (and sometimes more often) is helping us look into a way to continue her treatment. Our insurance contract limits what they'll cover in my daughter's treatment, and the cost is way beyond what we can afford. We're getting close to when all of the treatment will be our responsibility.

The place has offered to write up an appeal, though the insurance company says there would no point, as our contract has limitations. I figure there's no harm in doing it. Another possibility is to see if United Way has anything to offer - again the facility is looking into this. And last is taking out a medical loan, with a fee reduction, and making payments. At least, there are some options for us. I've been searching online for help beyond what medical insurance will pay for. I haven't been successful yet, but am still searching and calling around. I'm getting quite the lesson on the ins and outs of this new to us insurance!

I tried out a new rhubarb muffin recipe that the girls have been eating over the last few mornings. Very good! The continual rain of late has my rhubarb growing to massive size. Almost daily, I pick, and either use and freeze the stalks - a bumper crop!

Well, there is sun outside - a rare sight lately. The lawn is definitely overdue on mowing...so out I go! Take care!

    I love rhubarb, and I'll bet the rhubarb muffins taste great. Anything that the State of Minnesota can do in your situation?

    Contact the local politicians. They get have staff for constituent services. You pay taxes, so see if you are eligible for any programs or services on the local, state, and federal level. I ill keep you and your family in my prayers.

    Here in Oregon, we have a hospital that treats children- regardless of the parent's ability to pay. Businesses statewide raise money for this hospital...the Shriners have hopsitals, St. Jude, Ronald Mc Donald....Is your daughters illness something that might fall under something one of these types of organizations...so that the burden does not fall on your family??

    I wish you the best of luck in finding assistance. Smile
