In all seriousness, I wanted to give an RSV shot update, since so many of you have been praying. Your prayers are so appreciated! It really has been a run for our money – literally. I could go on for pages and pages…but here’s the Cliff Notes version:

Brad has spent HOURS (no exaggeration) duking it out with insurance, pharmacies, customer service reps, advocacy groups, etc. I know that he has been able to endure this because of his love for his boys and his desire for them to be protected. Due to his perseverance, our boys should be getting their Synagis shots this evening. (Our nurse, Kim, is coming to our house to give the boys their shots so we don’t have have to expose our boys to more germs in the office – Talk about going above and beyond!) That’s all pending, of course, upon the shots arriving at our doctor’s office. We really are to the point that we’ll believe it when we see it. We wouldn’t be surprised if FedEx goes on strike and refuses to make deliveries. That’s just how crazy the last week has been! Regretfully, this may not be the end of the battle as we learned that Brad’s work (that has agreed to approve us) will be completely changing to a new insurance company at the beginning of the year, thus we may have to repeat the entire process. Phewwww…We are ready for a vacation!

However, in the midst all of this ciaos, we have to praise God. None of this has been a surprise to Him! Looking back we see His provision when we thought it was impossible to get approved and yet another lesson in trusting Him. He has heard and answered our prayers!

Here are some verses that have been an encouragement to me this week:
