Hello everyone! We took Laurie in for her synagis shot (RSV shot) this afternoon. She currently weighs 10 lbs. exactly! She has also slept through the night for 3 nights straight now. We are hoping that this is a new phase and not just a fluke thing!!! It's been great to get some decent sleep at night.
After the nurse gave Laurie her shot, she showed me how much it cost.... $2000! Can you believe it? For just one shot. And apparently the cost goes up slightly each time, because they have to increase her dose. Thank heavens Laurie qualifies for Medicaid, even if we had to pay 20% it would stink to have to do that every month. It's like injecting gold into her bloodstream! At least Laurie has been extremely healthy this winter. Those two-thousand dollar shots work wonders!

No fun. We are waiting to see if Spencer qualifies for that shot. And if he does, how much of it will be covered by our insurance. We were hoping it would all happen before the end of the year since we've already hit our maximum out of pocket... alas! Hopefully it will be completely covered.
Wow! How many shots does she have to have?!
We joke all the time that the valve I grew for Dade wasn't good enough and he needed an upgrade:)
I'm glad you guys don't have to worry about paying for it-that would be a nightmare!
So I asked my brother who is studying to be a pharmacist why in the world it costs SOOO much for those shots. He didn't really know. All I know is that somebody, somewhere is making some phat money! I am at least glad that the shots don't cause reactions (or haven't yet.)
