Update on Our Financial Situation

So we have yet more clarification on what our insurance does and doesn't cover. We'll pay $2000 this year for Eliot PLUS a $12 co-pay on his medicine which is turning out to be about $60 a month and a $25 co-pay for each office visit which will be about $100 a month until July when it will become $25-$50 a month.

So I'm still feeling pretty darn lucky in this area.

If nothing changes - which it always does - I'm guessing once Eliot gets out of this challenging part our monthly costs will be around $100-$125 plus a quarterly bill of around $400 for spinal taps.

We've received - this is a humbling number that makes me take a huge deep breath - $3,733.51 in financial gifts. We have $2414.66 left in that account right now. I laid out in detail what these gifts will be used for in this blog post. We've been fortunate enough to only need to spend $80 of this for babysitting. We've had A LOT of help with babysitting.

Thank you to everyone who has given us their time and food and support and money and prayers. I can't keep up with the thank you notes. Thank you. I'm humbled. I'm amazed. I'm learning so much about what giving really is. Thank you. Thank you. Holy shit. Thank you.
