Re: FINALLY GOOD NEWS FOR SANDY G.

[Guest guest]

Sandy,

That's WONDERFUL!!! I'm sure Amber would also like to finish this up with you as

she's probably spent a lot of time working on it!

We're still swinging chickens!

a very personable kindly man who didn't know why I was there either. As we

talked he said " looks like you got tangled up in the bureaucracy " . I knew he

was going to be an advocate for me from what he was saying.

> Dr. Schrock is going to fax Olympia TODAY that there are no DS surgeons in

Washington YES WASHINGTON that will take my insurance. And he does know Dr.

Heap. That's a biggy with my insurance and I'm so glad it was HIS suggestion to

tell them that!

knows maybe one day he will learn DS and people will be coming to Spokane!

> Anyway I've notified Amber with Dr. 's office that all is a go. BUT

(isn't there always one?) I still need your prayers and thoughts etc. I found

out today that the woman in Olympia who has been handling my case has just been

promoted. Last time she wasn't on the case it all went phatoooey. I've asked

Amber to get my application in immediately so she will be the one to handle it.

The race is still on!

is nearly to September for surgeries so there will still be more

waiting but at least I'll be waiting for the FINAL day!!! Thanks to all who

have so faithfully supported me. I'm going to make it now because of the help

of precious precious people.

Sandy,

It's always good to hear an update on your " journey " !

I'm thrilled for you that things seem to be moving

right along. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I've got a surgery date now of Oct 29th with Dr

Maguire in Kettering Ohio (pending final approval of

course) so we'll both be on pins and needles till the

end I guess! Best of luck and keep the good news

coming! Sincerely, Angel
