Don't lose hope...
It is so easy to become distracted, depressed, and anxious, when we lose sight of heaven. But if we didn't have trials on this journey, we wouldn't long to get home. We would be content to live on this sinful earth.
Last week we received a phone call from our case nurse, Carrie, that we were once again denied coverage for Keith's stem cell transplant. ugh....each time is like another punch in the gut!
I talked to Dr. Burt's nurse, Kate, and she is sending another appeal letter this week. If the peer to peer conversation between Dr. Burt and our insurance company was denied, I have little hope that this next appeal letter will do any good. But our God is greater!
Since it sounds like our insurance is not going to approve, we have started to discuss fund-raising options. This is hard. We much rather work for what we need. But, there is no way around it, we need help. As I see Keith losing strength each week, it is becoming more important that we get started on this! We can't let days/weeks go by just waiting for answers any more. And, unfortunately, we need to have $125,000.00 before they will begin pretesting.
So that is where we are...staring at a blank screen...where do we start?
