The insurance company comes through!

With tremendous support from our local physicians, our healthcare insurance company has authorized the trip to New York tomorrow. There's one less thing to worry about - it saves us from wondering what the bill would amount to and the costs for any potential diagnostic tests.

It seems like weeks since the diagnosis last Friday, but we are starting to feel like we see the light at the end of the tunnel. By Thursday noon we think we will have all the information we need to choose a path and we'll have all the presurgery tests complete! If everything falls into place we are hoping that a physician will be available to schedule surgery next week.
