We are feeling blessed today. The hematologist's office called Doug to set-up his first infusion of retuximab. We are so relieved and excited. Better yet, we learned that the reason it has taken the last week to get the appointment is because they have been waiting on insurance approval and they finally got it. We are so excited to hear that insurance has approved the treatment. This will save us lots of money. I know that the co-pay will still be high, because apparently it is rated as a class 5 drug with United Health, but compared to paying the full amount or having to travel for the treatment this seems like it will be very affordable.
And so we pray.
God of Constancy and Love, we thank you for your presence and guidance in our lives. We thank you for leading us to doctors that are willing to support Doug in his treatment. With each step of this pilgrimage we encounter you in new and striking ways. Today was such a surprise and relief to have the retuximab treatments planned and appointments made. And now we pray, that the MS is stopped and Doug's improvement will lead to long lasting health and a return to walking. Amen.
