Wow Karol, don't know how I missed this.  Yea Insurance is a pisser!  In network, out of network, on their list, not on their list.....it can be hellish!  Sure hope you get it worked out.  PD is a great option & hope that it fits Jenna's needs. 

Health insurance now days is awful & very expensive! 

God Bless,

The social worker called and said she got clearance for Jenna to go to a newer clinic over near us, run by the same group. They are working on getting this neph we like privileges there. So things are looking up. We see the dialysis nurse tomorrow and will make a plan to start training.

How's it going for Jenna?  It is alot to learn, but she will do fine.  Just be clean & clean & did I mention, clean? 
This is probably a good option for her.  She's young & one tough little lady (like her mother).  I just pray she'll get her kidney sooner.

Keep us posted Karol.
