CHOP called today with Katie's procedure date. We will be traveling down on June 4th for pre-admission testing and to meet with a nurse co-ordinator. At that time we will get all the "rules" for Kate as to what she can and can't have before the procedure. Kate will also have to go off of her medication the day after Memorial Day so that she is able to be put into arrhythmia during the procedure - so she is going to have to be pretty vigilant for those 2 weeks. She will be having her procedure on the 12th of June. The procedure will take between 2 and 6 hours, with a 5 hour recovery time. It is outpatient (at this point), so we should be home by that night.
On June 18th, we travel out to Lancaster for Chris to meet with his surgeon. We should (in theory) leave that appointment with his surgery date. One specific prayer request on Chris is the insurance issues that have resurfaced. The jaw repair is medical, and the insurance company is saying it is dental. The surgeon's office takes our dental, but they are telling us it is medical. I explained the situation to them - that I had been on the phone several times with AETNA who is insisting this is dental. The representative from the surgeon's office is taking it from here - so I would covet your prayers that this would be resolved before we head out there on the 18th. We know who we have believed in - and that He is faithful, and that He is in this. Pray for us (me especially) that I would remember that as we begin this process! Thank you so much for holding us up in prayer!!
