The first day of school is officially done. The kids all survived, and the boys found their classes with little incident. Ready or not, we are getting into a routine. However, miss Katie will be exhausted tonight as she awoke at 5:00 am and was too excited to fall back to sleep!
Tom has his PT 3 days a week starting Wednesday of this week. He will hopefully get into a better schedule because they have his appointment times all over the board this week. With Tom's schedule it is hard for him to make early morning and middle of the day times. It would be nice if this one thing would work smoothly.
Today I received a call from the Grievance Coordinator. He stated that Tom's PET Scan has been approved and that the Oncologist would be receiving the Authorization number soon to schedule it. He could not tell me what had been done to change this to an Approval. However, I did get a history lesson on who is making this decision. In the past it was our insurance company who approved them. It changed hands to an outside approval company in November of 2008. The criteria is different for each company. The PET scan criteria had not been met since the change of companies. There is no explanation as to why they approved it in December and it sounds like this is the last time that it will be without the Criteria being met. Tonight I had a few minutes to talk with Tom about the authorization and he said that he does have a PET scheduled for Wednesday, September 16 @ 9:00.
I have a light heart tonight as I thank God. I had so many verses pop into my head that I could not write them all down. I will share this one:
"Bless the Lord who is my immovable Rock. He gives me strength and skill in battle. He is always kind and loving to me; he is my fortress, my tower of strength and safety, my deliverer. He stands before me as a shield." Psalms 144:1-2
