Disability (and an update on insurance)

Remember how we were maybe going to have to switch insurance?

Long story short: We’re not going to have to switch insurance. Thank you Jesus.

We’ll be able to stay with Kaiser for a long, long time. It’s actually a better deal for the church conference, and a better deal for us, so it works out well all around.

Another long story short: my dad is going on Disability. He’s been thinking about it for a while, and now with needing to take care of my mom, his pain has increased, and he just doesn’t have enough hours in the day to care for my mom, care for himself, and pastor a church. He still hopes to be involved with the church a bit, but he just can’t do it full time.

So another prayer request: please pray that Kaiser actually accepts his Disability claim. He has the backing of his doctors, but the insurance side of things has to go through. Please pray for favor with the insurance company, and fairness in their dealings with us. Our family’s medical costs are ridiculous (with both my mom and my dad having LOTS of medication, surgeries and doctor’s care) so please pray that that doesn’t count against us.

  2. This was a tough year for you and your family. It is a good that you're surrounded by wonderful people that help you cope up with this journey. I read your healthcare insurance problem by the way, and I'm thankful that it all worked well. It's really difficult to switch health insurance policies, especially if you have great doctors to treat your mom and dad. I wish all of you to be well. :)
