Mike and I began the day wrestling with insurance issues....again. To be honest, Mike and I concentrated so much on making sure he had medical insurance coverage without any lapses, that we screwed up and took for granted my getting covered...two days before mine expired.

I posted about this problem yesterday. As we continue peeling away layers of this problem, we now have learned I can't even get my medications to be covered under new insurance for twelve months. Thankfully, Mike had stocked piled enough of my prescriptions to get me through the summer. But, as I was trying to figure out what I could maybe drop, against what we might be able to purchase at generic rates, I was overwhelmed to learn a 30 day supply of my prescriptions, would still be costly. So this nightmare isn't going away. It has us rethinking the "high risk" insurance program today, for me too, if I can qualify.

Some times when I'm having a pity party, I question God about why so many trials have come our direction....seemingly all at once. But, truth be known, God has taught us so many lessons throughout all of this. So much good has come even with the bad. Our faithful, loving, heavenly Father, has never left our side...even on the worst day. We have seen the tremendously big hearts of our family and friends. When we have hurt, they have hurt too. When we had something to celebrate, they were the first to leap to their feet. When the only language we've been able to speak at times, was shedding tears; they spoke back with a huge hug and reassuring smile. When they said "Friends Forever", they truly meant it.

I'm so grateful for all of you. For the roles each of you are playing in our life. If only you could see the beautiful story you are helping to write, you might get the glimpse of the blessing you have been to Mike and I. We love you all.
