Hi Danny, the insurance company has agreed to pay an "out of network" amount but we had to change our policy and our premium is now higher. We'll still have steep medical bills but not as bad as we first thought. Regardless, we're heading to Hopkins tomorrow as we simply decided that money wouldn't stand in the way of me having the best outcome possible. As you can see, my girls can be very determined about things!

I'll have one of the girls keep you all posted from my laptop in the motel room.

Love to all, please keep your prayers coming, especially for Thursday's surgery.
Minnie
