Insurance challenge #1

Let the health insurance battles begin. I got my first letter telling me the insurance company won’t pay a dime on Jordan’s first prosthetic. More than $4,000 worth. I’m ready to do battle. But really, what a bummer. This prosthetic hasn’t done much to help Jordan and I’m going to have to fight to get the insurance company to pay for it. And to think I’m going to convince this company to pay for a $20,000 myoelectric prosthetic.

What fun.

On a nice side… I took Jordan to work today and she was so funny. She’s obsessed with chewing on paper these days. Any time we were kind of close to paper, she reached for it. When we walked by a printer printing out scripts… She was in LOVE with that machine. It was classic. The new thing with her — If she gets any grasp of a piece of paper, you have to let her rip the crap out of it. If you take it out of her hand, she gets really upset. It’s funny. Paper is the first thing she’s willing to fight for.

I’m willing to fight for anything for her. Tomorrow will be round one in the insurance department. Wish me luck.
