An Update and a Blogging Break

Remember this, that crazy expensive drug Monte is supposed to be on, the one we were supposed to hear back on in a couple of days. Well, a little over a month later, we finally heard back, and it is most certainly an answer to prayers!! It's going to cost us ZERO dollars!! We finally heard back from insurance, which said they would pay most (the cost is roughly $14,000 a year), but we would have to pay almost $200 a month co-pay. Then the pharmacy called the next day to tell us it would be completely free, due to a plan through the drug company called co-pay plus, and Monte's super nice nurse who called the company and said he REALLY needed it, and that she thinks he should get it for free! This is just awesome news for us, and we are thanking God for continuing to provide for us, He is awesome!!! The drug comes from a specialized pharmacy that has a team of people involved with his care, they overnight the drug to us in a special cooler, then a nurse will come to our house to help with the injections at first. Overall Monte is doing MUCH better than he was a couple of months ago, but as he is tapering off the steroids we are seeing some symptoms come back. He starts the new drug tomorrow, and the hope is that it will put him in complete, long term remission.

And on another note, for the next two weeks I won't have much (if any) access to the internet. :(
Therefore, a blogging break is in order. There's going to be a lot going on in the next couple weeks, so I'll update after that. It just so happens that it will be a good time for me to be without the internet, since it is lent. "See" you in a couple weeks!
