HOSPICE PROBLEM SOLVED

God is sooooooooooo good. He has placed people in our life and on this path specifically to help us get through this trying time. What we are going through is devastating but I promise you that God always takes the bad and He shows the goodness through it. I wish sometimes He would allow the bad to just go away but only He knows what the plan is and who am I to argue with Him?!

Our Hospice coverage through Aetna is only $5,000.00. Our calendar year just started over with the insurance and we now have to pay an automatic $1,000.00 deductible to Hospice and then 20% of the contracted $5,000.00. So, in essence we would have to pay out of pocket from the start around $2,000.00.

So, stress sets in as $$ is always an issue. Just in the nick of time Matt calls. He is at Saddleback Hospice as he works closely with them in his business. Evidently, Saddleback Hospice wants to come in and offer full coverage hospice at no charge for Gary. NO CHARGE. NO MONEY. NO COST. FREE. Can you believe that?

So, the only thing that was left to do was to contact Dr. Barth to see if he will still be our doctor. Remember that Dr. Barth ONLY works with Silverado Hospice. We have been waiting to get a phone call back from Piay (the one and only) to see if Dr. Barth will work with Saddleback.

We just got the call. Dr. Barth loves our family and he will do anything for Gary and of course he will work with Saddleback to help us with the cost! I don't think you could understand how HUGE that is for our family. He has always taken care of Gary and he will continue to do so.

How are we so lucky? God is blessing us through even the most awful time.

I just wanted you all to know this amazing news. Now we have one less huge thing to stress about!

GOD IS GOOD! So is Matt and Dr. Barth and Piay and all of you!! YEAH!!!!!
BTW - a HUGE thank you to our Little League Board for their kindness and support!!!

Love to you all,
