Persistence Pays Off!

Thankfully, I have a good report to follow up on my post about the DAN! doctor insurance woes. I did get a call back from the office manager on Friday and the paperwork is being re-submitted to the insurance company. I can’t really share all the details here, but I will say that I have learned over the last couple of weeks of issues with various areas of my son’s care that there is almost always more to the story and a lot of the time it isn’t really about you personally.

I also realized that my niece’s birthday is actually today, not yesterday as I originally wrote. She is interested in many wonderful things that have never graced our toy bins, such as Barbie’s Pegasus, Polly Pocket, and Strawberry Shortcake. So it should be fun shopping for her, as a nice change from Legos and Thomas trains and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (not that those things aren’t awesome, as my son would say). :-)

It’s so amazing to see how much she’s grown – she’s almost as tall as her five and a half year old twin sisters!

Happy Birthday, Sophie!

Lovely pictures! I wouldn’t mind doing that too! (Almost am. The humidity here is sky-high……. but it is hot as well.
Anyway, the real reason I came over was to comment on your comment:
Trish – GOOD FOR YOU! Not many of us go that extra step when we have no self-interest involved…

Happy birthday indeed, great shot. As for the insurance…….I have delegated that particular nightmare to my eldest [unemployed] daughter with the temptation of a 35% cut of anything she can recover = big incentive and since I suspect that there are a zillion people out there who would willingly hand off the entire paperwork nightmare to someone else, I anticipate that this should be a very good working experience for her [and much less of a headache for me.]
Cheers
