When Josh received his second treatment of chemo Wednesday, his doctor let us know that his white blood cell count was a little low. She wasn’t overly concerned and said he’s been a little on the low end, but that in order to receive chemo, his number would need to be a little higher. We proceeded with chemo that day, and she scheduled him to receive a shot today when he went in to have his pump disconnected. The shot would help boost his white blood cell count before his next treatment.
Today, Josh went in to have his pump disconnected and to temporarily say goodbye to his man-purse. His doctor let him know that they had been fighting with our insurance over the necessary shot he was to receive today. Our insurance wouldn’t approve it unless his number was even lower. Talk about a catch-22. We don’t want his number to be too low to prevent him from receiving chemo, but our insurance needs his number to be lower so they can approve the necessary shot! Make it make sense!
So, now Josh will need to go in for another blood draw on Monday morning. His doctor believes his number will be lower, and they will again try to have the shot approved by our insurance.
Prayer warriors, please pray that our insurance will approve this shot without any further delay!
A very special thank you to our dear Idaho friends, the Hawes’, who came and spent special time with our kids yesterday and helped transport Josh to his appointment today while I got Addy ready for her dance dress rehearsal. Addy’s friend “B” even got to help with Addy’s makeup! And a big thank you to Uncle Joey and family for loving our Josiah extra today!
