Surgery Date Set

We have a date set for surgery.  As long as we can get two additional tests done and insurance cleared on time we will be checking in to Children's Memorial Hospital sometime in the week of August 29th for traction.  We will not be certain how many days of traction are needed until we get a set of neck flexion x-rays completed so our hospital arrival date is uncertain yet.  The surgery itself will be on Friday, September 2nd.  We anticipate being in the hospital an additional 3-5 days with the possibility of up to a week after the surgery.  I also found out today that we will need to get a CT Scan prior to surgery as well, but hopefully that will be quick and not be to difficult to obtain. 

Please pray for me to gain quick insight into the insurance maze.  I am feeling the pressure to get this right since this will be a major surgery done by a doctor out of our network at a hospital out of our network, and I have less than three weeks to make sure everyone is on the same page and all the red tape is filed correctly. Yikes!  I am praying that I will be brought back constantly to the fact that all of it is in God's hands, and I just need to take the next step that is in front of me.  Thanks again for the prayers.
