I’m so sorry that this hasn’t been updated recently – but until now there hasn’t really been anything to update.
Last night they (the hospitalist doctor & her) decided to try oral medication once again, now that the new medicine she is trying has been keeping her nausea down. She was able to handle all her food and the oral medicine all night! I called her this afternoon and she made up her mind to go home today. I think she felt the pressure of having to come home today or we would have to cancel her trip to Mayo clinic again. We all thought on Friday night that we would be calling Mayo on Monday to have the trip canceled.
Mayo’s trip may be canceled anyway, if Becky isn’t given an extension on her insurance. Please pray for God’s will in that decision. We don’t want to put our hope in Mayo clinic, they don’t offer anything more than our good creator & sovereign God has in his hands. So if it is not God’s will for us to go to Mayo then allow the insurance not to accept her extension. Mayo does not have “care forgiveness” programs – whatever your insurance does not cover the patient has to pay out of pocket, no matter what.
Yesterday was mom’s birthday, Becky was very sad to have us celebrate in her hospital room. She is glad, though anxious, to be home. She is now resting in her bed! Please pray the medications she is on will work, we had to “tweak” her medications a little in order to compensate for what insurance doesn’t cover. Did you know that Vancomycin is $1200.00 for a 10 day supply? CRAZY! Praise the Lord for a great pharmacist who helped us choose different medications that do the same thing, have the same ingredients and are much cheeper! She seems fine with the change. Hospitals don’t have to worry about that sort of thing – they just give whatever the doctor orders.
Other random family news – I (Mary) am trying another job to pay for trips to Uganda. Including living expenses, medical supplies & equipment, etc etc. I will be posting more details about it soon, but I am selling “31″. You can check out my website at: www.mythirtyone.com/maryfranklin
For the family,
Mary
PS – Sorry if this update is discombobulated – it’s late & it’s been a long day at work. I will update more tomorrow! Thank you again for all your prayers & love shown to us – we are so undeserving!
