Lic, do you have insurance!?! Is Shane considered to be self-employed? Let me know if we should establish a non-profit foundation or start begging on the streets. I'll do it! I'll help any way I can. That is a crazy amount of money...but I know anything is worth it for our babies. I was complaining about my $127 bill the Children's Hospital ER when Josie had her rash...but now I see that's nothing compared to your bill.

Are things improving with your sweet little boy? Please let me know what I can do for you Babe!! Seriously! One of your posts said you were back at the hospital...I'm so close Sweetie...literally like 3 minutes away. I can bring you dinner, I can come visit if you would like. Anything...just let me know! We're praying for you!

Thanks for your post, they made me cry. They allowed me to feel. Made me grateful and helped me to realize that life isn't so bad. That is one heck of a bill! It will all work out... lets get together soon.

Oh my giddy aunt!!! That is a lot of money.
I hope things around your house are calming down a bit and everyone is getting more sleep. Give sweet Micah a squeeze for me.
I really like your shirt in that picture by the way!

Oh, I am sure you know this, but if you are having to pay out-of-pocket for that, negotiate the bill down. They will probably cut a HUGE chunk off if you negotiate with them.

SERIOUS!!! That's more than a lot of Americans make in a year! I agree with Camille's post. Usually, they will lower the bill significantly and let you do payment plans. I hope the things they discovered and did for him have helped.

Rachel said...

OUCH! I hope they were able to help him! Is he doing better now?

Nate, Jenny and Amelia said...

Yikes! Yes they will definitely work with you. I hope things get better from here! Glad you got a much deserved date night (per your previous post).

Wowsers. I hope he is getting better and that things work out with the bill. I'm so sorry to hear what you guys have been through!

Emily Judd said...

Liberty Weaver said...

You have got to be kidding me! You do not have to pay for all of it.... right?!!

Holy Crap! Please please please let that be a joke!!

We had one of those last year. I'm pretty sure ours was well over 100,000. I had insurance and ended up paying $6,000 out of pocket. I hope you are in a similar situation!

I've been meaning to check up on you to see how Micah is doing. Shoot me update!
