Tears for Tracy

I visited Tracy tonight. When I walked in she was crying with her mom by her side. Peggy (her mom) handed me a letter to read. The letter was written by Tracy's doctors to send in for social security/disability approval. Without insurance the doctors have informed Tracy that the device would not be able to be placed.  The letter had been given to Tracy earlier today and she had just read over it right before I had gotten there. It was a letter to social security/disability informing them of all of Tracy's medical conditions and limitations. I know it was hard for Tracy to see this on paper. It broke my heart that the reality of all of our fears including hers were right in front of us in black and white! The last paragraph stated, "without the device or a transplant the patient is terminal."  I can't even imagine reading this and then the fear of not getting insurance and knowing what the outcome is! I tried to encourage Tracy and  I boldly told her, " you WILL get the device!" She said with tears flowing, " Jodi  there is not anyone in our family with 2 million dollars! "  Friends, I truly believe that God is in control and He can certainly take care of insurance for Tracy!!  I am praying that the insurance will be taken care of this week and that the L-VAD or Bi-VAD will be placed next week or sooner. Please pray with me that all of this will fall into place. Tracy wants to go home and be with her babies! It breaks my heart and her heart is breaking each day that she is separated from her sweet children!  For those of you that have donated financially or by providing a meal THANK YOU! Guys, I have to be bold and say we need A LOT more of you to please be the hands and feet of Jesus to this family. If you are willing please make a financial donation by clicking on the donate button at the top of this page! WE NEED YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT! If each person could do $10 or $20 dollars it would make a BIG difference. The meal schedule is not full and I would like to open up more days if possible. They are going to need a lot of help for a while!  Just click on the link below and you can sign up for a meal!
