Thursday

Nothing new to report here. Another uneventful day of playing and packing. I did have the lovely pleasure of dealing with our insurance company and the base. They have decided to deny payment on Justin's medical care(stitches) because I opted to bring him to an urgent care center opposed to the ER. I wasn't aware stitches were considered a life or death situation so I chose to take him to the urgent care 5 minutes away. After all in my mind it was just stitches. So anyways they refuse to pay because the base refuses to enter in a referral to the urgent care center. Every time my kids have needed to be seen with the exception of their well exams they have been sent to this urgent care center. And here I was thinking I was actually saving time and money by not going to the ER. Stupid me... So I spent a hour going back and fourth between the clinic who wasn't willing to help at all and the insurance company who has no control over what the base submits and doesn't. I swear. Then I'm told once I get he actual bill I'll have to go through a whole appeal process. Just what I want to do during moving and everything else I'm dealing with.

BTW Justin is doing great! I will admit stitches on a two year old boy stink. He hates them LOL Already he's managed to rip part of his scab off at the top of the cut and now he has the corner on the left right where the beginning of the stitches start bleeding. Good thing he gets them removed on Saturday. I don't know how much longer he's going to keep safe and allow me to force him to stay inside LOL
