I'm so sorry for you guys. And then to have to deal with
such a nitwit insurance. Big time boo to them! I hope
things make a turn for the better for you soon.

I'm so sorry for your loss and for all the health insurance stuff you have
to go through - as if what happened wasn't enough!

I know it's not the same, but when I had an ectopic pregnancy scare and was
admitted to the hospital (prior to finding out what's really going on), the
administration officer at the hospital said, "If it turns out to be an
in-utero pregnancy, the insurance will cover everything. If it turns out to
be the ectopic pregnancy and you'd need a surgery, the insurance will pay
only 40% of all the expenses" - so there I was, not only wondering if I was
really pregnant or needed a surgery (which eventually might have prevented
another pregnancy because in some ectopic pregnancy cases they take out the
whole fallopian tube and limit your chances for normal pregnancy) or if I'd
have to pay and end up with no baby. So this is definitively not fair!

Please try to take it easy and take care of yourself!
Thinking of you,
Elly

I'm really sorry to hear about your loss, Denise. Best wishes to you and
good luck getting the insurance bit straightened out (that is *beyond*
aggravating!).
