Today was the last day of school for three months. THREE WHOLE MONTHS. Emily isn’t quite sure what that means, but older sister Ana is already planning her summer festivities which include a trip to Hershey park next month.
Emily will be starting orthodontia with NYU this month and, in all honesty, I’m dreading it on so many levels, not the least of which is the financial aspect of things. I know we’ll have to shell out about $1400 just for x-rays and other photos at the end of June, and it will be another $2000-$3000 for the orthodontic appliances she’ll need to help move her upper jaw.
So, thus begins the insurance nightmare component of this blog. My insurance is a high deductible PPO, which means I need to pay close to $6000 before any coverage kicks in at all. I’m also not allowed to go out of network…at all. Something I wasn’t aware of when I switched the plan (my own fault). So…we’ll likely need to switch insurance companies and I have a call into someone at NYU to ask some advice about that. I made that call about three weeks ago. I will call again tomorrow – it’s so frustrating not knowing what to do.
Ah well, now for some cutie pie pictures.
Such a cutie girl
A rare picture of me with Emily (I’m usually taking the pictures)
A trip to the local park/garden/zoo
Me and the girls
HORRAY for summer time. My kiddos and I get done on Thurs. and that day could not come soon enough. Such beautiful pictures. She is turning into such a beautiful big girl and has lost all little girlness to her in pictures. I will pray that you are able to find some resolve to the whole insurance fiasco. I do not look forward to those fights myself. Sometimes I think that is why I was given my cleft little guy, to learn assertiveness and conquering that phobia of dealing with insurance issues. UGH!!! Enjoy a wonderful summer and I look forward to lots more cute pics of the going ons of summer.
HIII! I’m so happy I can access this website again, I’m now taking Computer Applied Research class, so we are able to access the internet from campus lab. The lecturer is pregnant so she only sit and doesnt monitor us, hurray! So how’s life? I’m glad that all of you looks so healthy and well, the girls are so cheerful. About the insurance, I’m so sorry about it; it’s a lot, anyway, I believe that God knows what we need, He will provide it. I will pray for this matter. I will publish the book next month, there’s a woman and children foundation which encourage me to do it. I will just print it and photocopy the booklet, so it wont cost lost of money. Joel is now a big boy, he is very active and cheerful. We are so happy to see him growing. I had the Emily’s dress cut, but it still seems too long for her. So,do u like the sarong? I have the orange one here;people usually wear this sarong to the beach, and it’s summer!!!Wear it then! The soft sipp bottle is so useful; Joel likes to shake it, and we are now more prepared for the coming surgery!Keep in touch.
