Please pray with us this week! We've been planning to take Tabitha to Cincinnati Children's Hospital for tests and their bowel management program. As far as we know this is the only place of its kind in the world. Last month we found out the insurance company doesn't want to cover it because it's out of network. They claim we can get the same services here at Hopkins, but we don't believe that's true. Saturday we got the official letter saying that this would not be covered. We can appeal, but we're supposed to be going out there August 19th, so it's unlikely they would resolve it that quickly.
We do have someone at Cincinnati working on this for us. She has asked for a "peer review" and is hoping to change their minds. If it's resolved this week, we can keep our appointments. If not, we'll have to continue working on the insurance issue and reschedule if/when we get it approved.
Meanwhile, Tabitha has chronic constipation, and we have many unanswered questions about her care. Those of you who pray for us, please pray specifically for the people at the insurance company who are making the decision and the people "on our side" trying to get the approval. If they say no, pray that God shows us the reason for it and where He would have us seek help. Thanks so much.
Other than the digestive issues, Tabitha's health is great. We thank God for things not being any worse! She's continuing to adjust to us, and we to her, and we're feeling more and more like family all the time. Thanks for all the prayer and support!
