we need some prayers...

landon's surgery is scheduled for tuesday... but we have hit a bump in the road dealing with insurance companies and blood work. my insurance company only covers blood work done at QUEST Diagnostics which meant they had to fax the results over to chop.

blood work was done early on friday. i received a phone call from chop yesterday explaining they did not get the results yet. the kind nurse told me if she did not get the results by today that they would cancel the surgery. i called quest yesterday and the woman on the phone told me that they MAILED the results and i politely asked if she would fax the results to our nurse.

i wanted to follow up on all this blood results drama and i called chop today to make sure they had received his results. they have not. i had to call QUEST back today and ask them again to fax the results... and as she was looking at his results told me that the woman who drew his blood last friday did not get enough so they couldn't get the results. why did i not get this information? and why was this information not faxed to chop? ... almost a WHOLE week later!!

tears are streaming down my face mostly because i am so angry. i am waiting for a phone call back from the nurse to see what to do next. i am hoping to just get the blood work done at chop and pay full price. i would have paid full price anyway if i would have known that QUEST does a HORRIBLE job at drawing blood on babies.

please pray that we are able to get his blood work drawn somewhere today and surgery goes according to planned next tuesday. i just want those little ears to be fluid free so we can begin the process with his hearing loss.
