It looks like we may get to come home today. Dr. Madden has agreed to take on Mike as a patient, and we’ve heard from two friends that Lexington does have availability in their ICU. Nothing is official yet, but it is looking promising at this point. Insurance has denied the flight home three or four times now, so if anyone knows someone in high places at Blue Cross Blue Shield or the State Budget and Control Board who can get that approved, that would be really great. I most definitely don’t mind paying if there’s not another choice, but you know Mike hates to waste money if we don’t have to. I don't think they make coupons for medical flights. The point we’re trying to make is that we didn’t come up here for extended treatment; we came for a clinical visit and thought we would only be here overnight. It’s similar to going on vacation and having to go to the hospital; it’s not something that was planned. I’ll update the blog once I know something official.

hey diane,
just wanted to let you know that i emailed my sister's mother-in-law that works for BCBS. i don't think she's one of the "higher-ups" but she may know somebody that could help get the flight approved. i don't know how much info you want me to give her. i'll call you if she thinks she can help with a solution. i'm glad ya'll will be able to get back to columbia and be close to family.
i'm still praying for healing, strength, and peace.
