Please note: Update from yesterday at #154 - forgot to ping everyone - sorry!
[Also apologies for any duplicate pings, a FRiend put the list together, and although I see a couple dupes I can’t go through it right now to remove the names - there are a LOT! I will do so before I update again tomorrow... Sorry!]

UPDATE: Prayers needed for Insurance Problems re: Medication Needed & healing for Amanda still, of course. Also requesting prayer for a cousin of my husband’s who just lost their 13-year-old boy to leukemia back on Jan. 25th (we just found out...).

The pharmacy was able to special order Amanda’s medicine and it will be here tomorrow (Monday) at 10am. The price is a bit of a problem though... Please pray that her insurance will understand she is not “wanting” the liquid vs. the pills, but that she NEEDS the liquid form due to the severity of her infection and the efficacy of the liquid.

The hospital & pharmacy are working with our insurance - otherwise it’s $800.00 for her first script. That might only be for ONE WEEK’s WORTH!

The hospital, and doctors have basically assured us that no matter what - we will NOT need to pay that amount - they will find a program to help us, if her insurance doesn’t come through for us... Please pray this is true. She will need this medication for I would guess at least a few weeks before she can take the pill form. (She is taking the pills tonight to keep it in her system until we get the liquid tomorrow).

Mandy was also having a very hard time today with pain, and nausea/vomiting, so prayers for her comfort are requested as well. She IS doing better tonight. I’m praying she isn’t sensitive to the liquid as it was after her liquid medication, but she had 4 doses before the first time she got sick, so we’ll cross our fingers...

One more prayer request, please... We found out that Amanda’s second cousin passed away on Jan. 25th - he was being treated at St. Joseph’s for Leukemia (perhaps this was part of the reason her doctors (the same as his) were so worried about her, and had her in the oncology ward - but were not able to tell us that because of privacy issues of course, and not to scare us unnecessarily?). Please pray for the family of Matthew.

Thank you all so very much for the continued prayers and support. I will never be able to express how much everyone’s support means to me, and our whole family. Prayers for God’s blessings for all of you...

For the family of Matthew - I came across this from J. Vernon Magee who lost a little child. His program just mentioned this booklet which can be downloaded for free - called “Death of a Little Child”.

http://www.thruthebible.org/atf/cf/%7B91E2424C-636C-40C2-9C55-890588E90ECE%7D/Death%20of%20a%20Little%20Child.pdf

Perhaps you can download this for them and print it out for them or give them the link to do it themselves?

Blessings to you all...

Good News! Continued prayers.

Notre père, qui êtes aux cieux!
Que votre nom soit sanctificié. Que votre règne vienne.
Que votre volonté soit faite, sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donnez-nous aujourd'hui notre poindre ce jour.
Pardonnez-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi a ceux, qui nous ont offensés,
et ne nous soumetez pas à la tentation, mais délivrez-nous du mal.
Car c'est à toi qu'appartiènne, le régne, la puissance et la gloire, pour les siècles des siècles.
Amen.

Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

PTL for some good news. Now to get that medicine thing worked out. That is criminal to charge that much for medicine .. it surely cannot cost such a high amount to produce.. but what do I know..

keep us posted!

Thanks again for everyone's prayers! I can't express how much they mean to all of us - and I know they mean a lot for Matthew's family, too.

UPDATE ON AMANDA - 2/15


Amanda is feeling pretty good today. The edema (water retention) in her lower leg and ankle is lessening a bit, so the mass in her calf doesn't pull as badly, and she can move the muscle now a tiny bit (although she can only "try" once in a while sitting down and she's not allowed to use it at all).

She had another low-grade fever last night, but was feeling better Monday morning after a dose of Ibuprofen, and rest.

I was finally able to talk to her Infectious Disease doctor (we kept missing each other in the hospital). He will be calling our Insurance plan himself - said, "we know the forms and everything, don't worry" about the costs.

Since she is taking the pill form instead of the liquid until we get the insurance and medication worked out, in the meantime the doctor said that depending on what her blood tests show tomorrow (some people have a hard time absorbing the pill form), he may have her come in and get the IV medicine for a few days in the hospital. We can go to St. Clare's here though (this isn't the same hospital we first went to here, but where my husband had his back surgery 2 years ago - at that time it was so new the waiting room still faintly smelled of paint! So it's a state-of-the-art facility...). That hospital is only 15-20 mins. from home, not an hour, too! :)

We are also waiting to get her wheelchair delivered, but the doctor said he would email her hospital case worker and get that fixed for us - hopefully before she has to go in for her blood tests tomorrow as it's icy out and she's not great on her crutches -- especially while on Pain Meds! Poor thing - tipping all over the place! :)

SO, that's the latest from our home. Amanda wanted me to tell everyone thank you so much for the prayers, that it makes her feel special and very loved and cared about for everyone to take the time to pray for her! I am no less grateful to all of you!

God bless you & yours,
LR (Amanda's Mom)
