Fundraising Event Today by our family that raised $1k
Today we are only $4,931 short of our original 95K Goal. Wow!
6 weeks of treatment was originally planned for financially as we embarked on this journey (estimated cost $15K per week), but we knew that we would likely have Kelly’s plan of care at the clinic go 8-12 weeks considering the complicated nature of the combo of non-hodgkins lymphoma and kidney disease.
Monday, February 5th we plan to get an updated understanding of the treatment plan. What should we expect, as much as one can “expect” anything. It’s all about how Kelly’s body responds. Kelly thought chemo would go for 4 weeks, but his body has only been able to handle 1 dose per week, which will likely extend our needs at the clinic. We will update the reality of our financial needs as we gain a better understanding for ourselves. Right now, I am choosing to TRUST. Trust that the Lord will continue to provide and not have fear of the unknown. He has been so faithful!
Updated Reimbursement Requests
Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation (EBOO) IV prep - not covered by insurance reimbursement
We hope to elongate the funds raised for Kelly’s treatment with the pursuit of reimbursement from our medical share for some of the therapies and treatments that have CPT codes available for me to pass on. Integrated or Comprehensive Cancer Care does not all fall in line with reimbursement opportunities for insurance. For example, an integral part of Kelly’s care is lymphatic drainage therapy - this is HUGE. He has non-hodgkins lymphoma and we need to be sure his “sewer system” of the body, the pinnacle of our immune system is up and running appropriately and not blocked. We cannot request reimbursement for lymphatic massage and that’s a therapy he receives 2-3 times weekly at $160 per session.
Reimbursement Requested
January 23rd, from invoices of Week 1 and 2: $5,534.83
January 25th, additional invoices of Week 1 and 2: $453.00
January 31st, from invoices of Week 3: $4,908.20
Total Reimbursement Requested: $10,896.03
Total Reimbursement Received: $0
Pray with us that we obtain the full amounts requested from the medical share.
Pray with us that the reimbursement would come quickly.
