Hey everybody!!

I haven't posted in a while but I've been very busy at work and at home and my hubby had to have another cardiac stent. I have gotten all my records together and my letter of "medical necessity" and mailed to Vandy. I have seen Karen Starr and Christian Ketel. I have been assigned to Dr. Melvin. Next I will have an endoscopy which is scheduled for 03/16/06. Jennifer is sending my records and letter to insurance today. Please keep your fingers crossed and pray that I will be approved. I want this surgery so bad!!! Good luck to all who are waiting and congrats to all who have begun your new life. Please keep me and all the others in your prayers. Terry

Just wanted to wish you the best of luck! *hugs* April

Best wishes Terry Laura

Thanks Laura. I appreciate everyones support.

Thanks April and congrats to you!!!

Terry, You've got the best surgeon, and support staff ever!! I'm a patient of Dr. Melvin's, and just adore him. Christian has been incredibly helpful with any questions I've had. You have nothing to worry about with this team! Take care & good luck, Beth

Thanks Beth for your encouragement and support. I haven't met Dr. Melvin yet but everyone who has had him for a surgeon has been very happy.

Terry, well girl, it's about time. Cons on everything falling into place for you. May God travel with you this new and exciting journey. Love Kathy

Kathy, you are the sweetest and most caring person I know. You have been thru so much but still have an encouraging word for others. Thanks for the support. When I grow up (I'm only 60 yrs. old) I want to be just like you!!! Please pray that I will get an approval real soon.

Best of luck to you. We all will be rooting for you. Sara.
