Surgeries Update

We have finally scheduled a tentative date for the surgeries ~ this date is in mid-May.

          "But it's March... That's two months away!", you say...


Yes, it is two months away. In my ideal world-according-to-Chris, if I was Queen-of-the-Universe, we would have had these surgeries scheduled in early April so our 6-week recovery would be complete before summer.

I am so glad I'm not in charge :o)

We took Sammy to the dentist and he also needs some dental work done under anesthesia. Our medical insurance company likes to give doctors a hard time... approval for David's dental work (also under anesthesia) took two weeks to be approved. So as always (in the end anyway) I am so grateful the Lord is driving this party train... By having the surgeries two months out gives our dentist time to fight with the insurance company again have Sammy's dental work pre-approved and have his dental work completed before his lip repair.

Why is this so important?

Because when you have dental work done under anesthesia, they STREEETTTTCCCHHHH out your lips to get in to work on your teeth. You can't STREEEEEETTTTCCCHHHH out a lip that has just been put together without risking detaching some muscles up in there or even unzipping the whole lip. Good idea to fix the teeth first, eh?

Thanks again, God. You really do know best.

  1. So glad that you finally have an idea of when the surgery will occur.

    Our little Mary just had some dental surgery combined with another procedure, I was so relieved to have some the the surgeries piggy backed onto each other to reduce her time in the hospital.

    Hope your dentist will have an easier time convincing insurance company!
