Well. D comes home on Friday. To be one-hundred percent honest, I have mixed feelings. I miss him terribly, he's one of the funniest people I know and he has such a kind heart. But I'm a little nervous too. I'm apprehensive for an emotional outburst like his last one. OK... I'm downright terrified of another outburst like his last one. I've been praying over him and our family for an easy transition and for D to understand his full potential. If you have any extra prayers lying around, our family would appreciate a few.
Update on the bill: The bill is still a huge issue. Blue Cross and Blue Shield denied payment on his treatment. They denied to pay a single penny for mental health care that kept my son alive. Let that soak in for a minute... Since BCBS denied payment, I was advised to apply for a medicaid spend down (but not approved for medicaid). This is a very intrusive and complicated application process. The state requires to see every item that I spend every dollar on. They require car payoffs, insurance docs, home loan payoffs, pay statements and student loan balances. (I'm pretty sure this information is not required of someone applying for basic medicaid.) HOWEVER, I'm thankful for the days the spend down did cover, even if they're making me apply a second time. Weird. So far the total for my responsibility is right at $40,000. In the end, it will probably be double if not more than that. But I'm not going to let that worry me. Worry is practical atheism and I know my God will provide. (Right God? You're reading this, right?)
