Matt nearly had a heart attack when we got John's NICU statement... then he realized that it was only for the first month. Thank GOD for good insurance!

Oh. MY. GOSH.
Thankfully, We had incredible insurance when I had both of our kids. Paid all but $200 for everything, even the Nicu stay. But seeing this made me gasp for air! We don't currently have insurance, so the chance of having a $29,000 bill is frightening!

Yes, insurance is AWESOME!!! Thankfully, we don't have to pay anything. We have no copays or deductibles on hospital stays. AND...that is just my stay for 15 days...that doesn't include Lauren! It was just the number that made me say out loud OH MY GOSH!

Not Guilty

Redemption is sweet!  Isn't it?  I know you have heard that phrase, right?  Well, while earthly redemption is sweet, redemption from Christ is the sweetest kind a person can experience. Most of you know my story.  You know that I struggled for many years with feeling unlovable due to past sin...a sin that I thought was tattooed on my forehead for all to see.  I was determined that no one loved me IF they only knew all about me and at the same time, I was convinced that everyone must have known about my secret because my self-esteem reflected the idea that no one loved me regardless of knowing.  Does that make sense?  Basically, I just didn't feel like I was loved.  The bottom line, I didn't love myself.  That was what spurred all of this senseless thinking on.  Even after I was married to the man who knew my secret and told me he loved me for me, regardless of my past, I just could not believe that.  And if I could not believe tha...

Update on Rachel

Image
Well, the grandparents are here and are helping out tremendously. What a blessing! My friend Kaydi and I took Rachel yesterday to Cook Children's Hospital in Ft. Worth for her VUCG and ultrasound. She did GREAT with the ultrasound - she laid there and ate a sucker while watching Sleeping Beauty. The VUCG...not so much! She did okay until about the 4th wiping of betadine solution on her "bottom" and then she wasn't okay anymore. It went from bad to worse. By the end of it she was screaming, "LET ME GO!" It was traumatic for all involved. The techs that were there were less than helpful in calming her down - in fact, they actually made it worse. I was appalled at how poorly they handled my frighened 3 1/2 year old. Anyway, we got through and she earned a milk shake and a Jessie doll from Toy Story! The pediatrician called at 5:00 and told us that VUCG was normal but that she does have some fluid around her left kidney and we need to follow up with a...
