Tune In

Don't forget to tune in tomorrow at 10 AM to 96.1 The River for the Our Lady of the Lake Children's Hospital radiothon. We will be interviewed live at 10 to share our story about our most recent hospital stay. You can listen online at http://www.961theriver.com/main.html or on your iphone through Iheart radio app.
Addison has started the bacterial antibiotic liquid Flagyl to kill any bacteria overgrowth she may have from food being stuck in her duodenum. Dr. Alberty said it wouldn't cause diarrhea like most antibiotics but guess what, it did. She has been doing better with her nightmares. I wish I could record her after she has one. It is so weird, her voice changes and all. It is just like we are in the hospital all over again. She hasn't been talking about the tube in her nose anymore but she still talks about the IVs and her belly boo boo. I wish she didn't have to go through so much. It is like she can't forget about it because now we have another test for her to take and she had 3 doctors appointments this month.
For March we have a upper GI series with small bowel xray, surgeon follow up, another GI follow up, and we get to pick up her inserts for her shoes. It is not only a copay expense going to the doctor appointments, the gas adds up driving to Baton Rouge at least once a week and I am not looking forward to paying for the inserts either, $737 cash, they do not accept credit cards. I was telling someone about how our insurance, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana, does not cover her orthotics or the inserts and they asked me what are you going to do? My response, whatever it takes. She has to have them and she is my daughter and I know God will provide for us. I was able to pay off another bill today, Addison's neurologist, Dr. Holliman. She was seeing her every 6 months but was discharged a year early at her last appointment in October. It was just under $70. I have been using t shirt money, donations and our income tax refund to pay off as many smaller bills as I can so we can pay more on the big ones. We have started a raffle too. The tickets came in today. Please contact me if you are interested in donating or selling tickets, southerngal05@cableone.net. As always thank you for your continued prayers and support.
