Medication Update

I'm officially trying not to be anxious now that we're on the 3rd day past needing a new Norditropin "pen". I've been on the phone multiple times with our Walgreens Infusion case manager, the W.I. intake person, the doctor's office, and a Medicaid case manager. W.I. seems to be playing a little bit of phone tag with the doctor's office, but at least the calls are being made. Once W.I. has the information they need from the doctor's office for Medicaid, then the ball will be in Medicaid's court...and I have no idea how long it will take for them to give approval to W.I. for delivery so we can resume Judah's treatment. I'm not really sure my phone calls are in any way effective. Or if they're just frustrating the people I'm calling. But the phrase "The squeaky wheel..." keeps running through my mind. I'm doing my best to be respectful when I call, and not give the impression of laying blame at any one's feet. I'm not sure who's at fault, and it certainly wasn't intentional. I just keep telling the people I talk to (or the voicemail systems) that I'm only looking for a status report and making sure things are progressing for Judah. Because really, somebody has to be responsible for the overall care of and advocacy for Judah, and that person is me. I take that God-given responsibility and privilege very seriously. Well, enough said. Thanks for praying dear friends and family...and even if I've never met you, I include you in that statement, because you're invested, too. I'll keep you posted!
