Thank God for good insurance is all I can say at this point. I got the Explanation of Benefits from Blue Cross for the kids and each of them racked up a bill of more than $998,000.00!!! Because we had a maximum of $2500 out of pocket for inpatient services, that is all we will pay. Mind you this was our old policy and had we waited one more week, we would have been responsiblr for 10%! I'm a bit stunned by this information and am feeling quite blessed to have bypassed this potential disaster.
It jusr feels like God has His hand in this entire journey.. from walking them through the NICU with no major catastrphes to this.. I'm grateful. I still wish I could have carried them to term but they are safe and healthy and that is all that matters.
This week, we go to see the orthopedist for Grace's hips and I am nervous about it but am hoping that all is ok and she won't need a brace. That is the last of the follow up appts. and we will then just go to the normal schedule of doctor visits, etc.
The kids had photos taken yesterday by a photographer and I will post them when they become available. It was not as easy as I had hoped.. at all. Grace pooped on the blankets and Austin relieved himself on several as well. They fussed and cried but in the end, I think we got some great photos.. We even got Tommy to sit still for a bit but he refused to hold the twins so no pics of the three of them. Boo! Maybe next time..
Much love to you all from the trenches,
Erica and Tom
