A Little Bit About Us

Blogging is harder than it looks. (There’s the underlining again.)

I am going to get some more pictures up on here.

I was also thinking that there might be people who read this that don’t really know us. For that reason I think I will tell you a little about us. There are 6 in our family. Poor Eddie is the only male. Katlyn is 17 and will be graduating high school on Monday. She’s not really sure what she’s going to do next. We’re waiting to see about Angie first. Katlyn, being the oldest, is a HUGE help to me. Angie is 15 going to be 16 in August. She likes music a lot. She listens to anything from hip-hop to scream-o stuff. Angie is that child who has a huge heart but is frustrating as all heck because she’s spacey. She is definitely her own person and speaks her mind (respectfully, we hope). Evelyn is my 5 almost 6 year old. I call her “happy” because her hugs make all the bad stuff melt away. Rainna is 11 months old. Right now she is pulling all the plastic bowls out of my cabinet. Need I say more? Eddie is a sales manager for a pest control company. We LOVE this company. (It’s called Rollins. Little plug there.) Some people have asked about him needing to take time off of work. He works for one of these family-owned (but HUGE) companies that rally behind their employees. We won’t have a problem with him taking time off of work affecting his pay. Anyone need pest control? Lol

Apparently it is common practice for insurance companies to send their transplant cases out to a third party to handle. The coordinator said it’s because there is so much to it, you don’t want just any CSR handling it. Anyway, this 3rd party is difficult. They all must have worked for the government at some point because they don’t answer their phones or call you back. We got a letter from them in the mail yesterday. They said “they have approved (our) request to receive care as described above.” Above it says that it is for a consultation at UCLA. We have been trying to get an answer from them as to whether we will have out-of-network benefits at Tucson. Everything is kind of on hold until we get that answer. All in God’s timing, right?

Anyway, that is what is on for today. I am going to try and get an answer so we can get this ball rolling. Aimee is supposed to come over today so we can talk about fundraising. I guess more on that tomorrow. Thank you for reading my ramblings. It’s still so weird to me to be blogging.
