    Thank you for remembering me. I appreciate your well wishes and prayers. My surgeries are scheduled for this coming week, but just yesterday I was notified by my surgeon's office that they may postpone my surgeries for a week. I will not find out until Monday noon. Insurance. I am in shock, as I have obviously been prepaing for this and am ready to get this over with. I assumed insurance had been taken care of long ago. This surgery has been scheduled for months. I am trying to stay positive.

        What's going on with the insurance Marie? I hope everything gets itself sorted out for you.

        As far as March surgeries go, my son Elias is scheduled for his first surgery on March 22nd. I really hope it doesn't get postponed b/c I'm already pretty stressed and just want to get on with it.
