Just Stuff

The kids and I had a nice Spring Break in Orlando, where we got to see my sister & her husband. And it was wonderful to have my aunts drive down to see Mom and us for a long weekend after that. Raj's PCP decided he had to SEE him to change a prescription, so I had to coordinate paid transport to/from St. Alexius & copay over the phone during our return travel Thursday. I'm also discouraged about Raj's inpatient stay at Rush University Hospital. They ruled out epilepsy, then scheduled him for many new tests, all with gastro-specialists at Rush (similar to tests he's had the past 11 years), and we lose medical insurance April 1. Raj will have access to Medicare health insurance June 1, but I'm going to have to wait for COBRA paperwork to come so I can review possibilities for the girls and me. I'm dreading the Rush and Medicar bills, especially since Raj just broke another filling.

Rush

Raj has been an inpatient at Rush (downtown) since Monday. He's had several tests to possibly diagnose epilepsy or narcolepsy for when he loses consciousness. It would be nice to have additional information on what happens during his "events" to prevent or somehow improve his quality of life.

Today was supposed to be an FHA appraisal on Dave's house, since CitiMortgage accepted a short sale offer from an FHA buyer. I contracted with an estate sales company to sell as much stuff out of the house as possible, on consignment, and hope to pay for cleaning out the rest with those proceeds.
