Great news, Rex! More prayers for you, Cathy, and the rest of the family.

I finally got to take Cathy out of the hospital to an inpatiant rehab facility!!! Her insurance Co. had denied any transfer and even refused payment for the medicine that saved her life and the last 5 days of her stay (3 of which were in the ICU), but fortunately the bank she works for is self insured so after I made a call to her company, the next response from the insurance was "We'll pay for whatever she needs!" I hope it's not inappropriate (if it is, please delete this paragragh) for me to recommend you do business with a bank that takes care of it's employees! That bank is First Banks Inc in Missouri, Texas, Illinois, Florida, and California. First Banks Info The owner, Jim Dierberg, is one heck of a nice guy!! Thanks to all of you here, a very gifted surgeon, and a great employer, she should be home VERY soon and in great shape to boot!!!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa hooooooooo! You must be so relieved! Let's not forget to thank the Lord as sometimes we forget that. God Bless You! I can tell you stories about insurance companies and our medical profession but I won't go there since someone here may consider it "political."  I will say I was one semester short of being an RN years ago, and some of the things I saw made me decide not to pursue it any further.

Thanks for keeping us updated, Rainman. Here's to Cathy getting out of ICU and onward to recovery (and home)! And, you are right, she does have an exceptional employer that took care of business. Dot

After a week in a Physical Therapy hospital, Cathy has made tremendous progress and is coming home tomorrow! She will have to continue therapy a few hours each day for quite a while, but a full recovery is now in sight.
Thanks to ALL of you again for the prayers and support to help us through this.
