Update

I heard from my PS nurse this morning letting me know bcbs has denied PS for me oh well no suprize there and I know what I need to do to appeal the choice.
bcbs denied me for wls and I wrote a letter based on what life was for a SMO person and two weeks later was approved.

My brother is having major kidney problems and gained 40lbs of fluid in a month.He was admitted to the hospital on Saturday.
On Friday he called me to come get his dog Dolly.
Mother is not doing well at all worried about my brother.
I am trying to stay strong and take care of me and Lee and the animals.

I was told this past weekend that Target maybe doing demo's Friday,Saturday and Sunday.
I have my name on the list of being intrested in doing all three days.

I just hope and pray I am strong enough to deal with whatever happens.
All mother can say is her doctor called to tell her John is very sick.
I said to her explain to me what that means and she could not.

Hi Annie,

Keep working on the PS appeal. I would talk with Dalton, Jenn and others to find out what worked for them. 

I'm so very sorry to hear of your brother's health issues and I hope that the Dr's will be able to help him. You might call your brother directly and see if you can find out what is happening or if he would allow you to be medical contact so that the Dr's talk to you, allowing you to both get your questions answered and be the person to provide your mother with information. Maybe that would be a way for you to help all of you through this difficult time. 

I know that you love your demo jobs, so I hope that the 'gig' at Target works out for you. 

Wishing you all the best and keeping your family in my prayers,

Hi Barb,
My BIL is a doctor and John has signed for Eric to be given all reports and has contact with my brother's doctors.
Being a weekend when he was admitted was a slow time at the hospital and the month of July is when many first year interns start at teaching hospitals like Duke and UNC.

My brother has been doing wonderful since being home from treatment but as I told my mom some of the damage that has been done maybe unreversable.
My brother has been a type 2 diabetic for 10 years and never tried to control it.

I ask everyday from my higher power for guidance and understanding.
I finally think I have things down and the main thing for me is to take care of me first so if I have to help other family members I will be strong enough to do it.

I plan on emailing Dalton and get some tips from him.
Even though bcbs denied me I am not worried I have seen that deniel seems to be a pattern with most insurance companies.

 Annie, I will be thinking of you during these trying times.  But, I do want to tell you that you are strong enough to get through anything.  Sometimes we don't want to be strong, but you can do it.  Look at what you've done so far.  I'm here to listen if talking helps.  Take care.  Teresa

Thanks Teresa,
That means alot to me.
