As we come to the middle of the week, we realize that we are closer to bringing him home than ever before. The last couple off days have been hectic and quite a push to get things completed before his homecoming.
We have been fighting with the insurance company to get things done expeditiously to make sure that nursing is covered. That has been a nightmare. He can't come home until we have nursing set up. We can't get nursing set up until insurance blesses it and gives the nursing company authorization. Coupled with that, we have to ask for special review through Nicole's insurance since nursing isn't covered at all in her plan. Hopefully they say yes. Keep your fingers crossed.
We just got our delivery of medical supplies last night. Honestly, it could be much worse. The armoire that I put together made a big difference...and it looks better than what everyone else was recommending. Thanks Ikea!
On top of all that, we found out yesterday, two days before being discharged, that Pierce is deaf. There was no response in his brain stem when they tested his hearing. Unsure if his brain stem will fix itself, but it seems unlikely...at least there are no documented cases of that happening. So in our spare time we will be learning a second language.
This morning we learn how to use the equipment they just sent us. That's it for now. I'll keep you posted.
You did an amazing job organizing all of the meds for Pierce! I think you may have found a passion for organizing! I am sure the three of you are anxious to come home as a family. I plan on learning sign language along with you guys so that Pierce and I can have a chat soon! Love you guys!
