Round 2

Hans at the day hospital today for more chemo and then radiation...

We have Irino/Temodor Day 1 under our belts! I'm pleased that the stresses we had today weren't over Hans' health! I'll share with you just for the heck of that it that we are having insurance issues:( Our insurance doesn't wanna pay for the Temodor! They are okay with the Irino, but they've denied the Temodor. I'm rather shocked that we've made it this far without finding ourselves in this situation! Our Nurse Practitioner was really working hard to fight it or fund it. Kevin and I told her - whatever happens, don't delay treatment, we'll just pay for the meds.

This med is pretty pricey - the five pills we need are $1100! Ha. So, the NP had a great idea, why don't we just fill it one day at a time.. So we paid for one pill today, we'll see if we can fight insurance tomorrow. The NP has a lovely go-to charity for just this situation, but the funding agent had gone home sick today. Just a day in the life....

In really nice good news, Hans is tolerating Day 1 of this round MUCH MUCH better! Thank goodness! He is a chatterbox:)

We had a pretty great b'day wknd. Our Santa Cruz friends Megan, Phil, and Desmond came down to not only help me celebrate my 40th birthday but volunteered to lay the floors in Elle's room to help out! How sweet is that??? Friends Stefano and Heidi and our new neighbors were able to join us for a fun night out. We felt it quite a little luxury to be at home, all weekend, with friendly and helpful assistants on our crazy project!
