Tuesday

I am busy again at work, but I will update real quick. Jude had a decent night. He came home very cranky from Mike's moms house, so therefore he wasn't the perfect angel he normally is. I am not sure if it's because she held him all day, and he was a bit spoiled, or if something was bothering him. I tried feeding him, but he did take a little but not much. We followed the same routine as the night before, and Jude went to sleep about 9:30, and again didn't wake up until this morning. He was pretty groggy this morning, so I am praying that we are not having a repeat of the medication nightmare. If you recall, he was very cranky last time prior to his hospital stay, and slept a lot. I did just check with Mike's mom, and Jude has been awake for awhile so that is a bit reassuring. I will be going over there for lunch to administer his medications again. I am hoping to see a little smiling face.

So I had mentioned that the MDC Program has been a bit frustrating. The poor girl at Walgreens reaped my rath yesterday. It never fails that every time I got to pick up Jude's medication from them there is an issue of some sort. I now have my primary insurance, and the MDC provides Medicaid that will be secondary. When I arrived at Walgreens to pick up his medications she announced the total would be $181. WHAT???????? Somehow they deleted my primary insurance, but I still had issues once she got Aetna's information back in the system. Turns out my primary insurance turned the medication down because they need a pre-authorization {whatever that means}, and Medicaid said Jude had met his max out of pocket for the month. How do you meet a max out of pocket when you have never used the insurance before, AND there isn't suppose to be a max???? Could someone explain this to me? I was so frustrated that I felt like screaming. So I have spent time calling around between the pharmacy, the insurance, the doctor, etc AGAIN to try to get something covered. I am hoping that at some point all of this gets easier. Sometimes I truly wish these people could step into my shoes........I wonder how they would handle things?

We have less than 24 hours, and we will be leaving on our vacation...WOO WOO! I will try to update from there, but I will not be able to upload pictures until I get back. If you are wondering I have checked into the best local hospital, and we know that Jude will be covered in case anything should go wrong. I know it won't though, and I cannot wait!

Here is a pic of Juders when he got home from the hospital. His daddy thought he needed a comfy bed.
