No surgery for Bug!!!

If you read this then you know that we have been in limbo about whether or not Lil Bug might have to have craniofacial reconstruction surgery again. Since the neurosurgeon referred us to a plastic surgeon, we were under the impression that he thought it might be something we have to do. At the same time, he said he wouldn't need to see us again for a year. So, I left there thinking that she *might* have to have craniofacial surgery again, but knowing that it must not be crucial for her health or we would definitely need to see him sooner than a year.

We tossed the idea around, prayed about it and God answered. Apparently no plastic surgeons in our town accept our insurance. The neurosurgeons secretary called to tell us that and tell us we had two options....either go and pay for it ourselves or not go. I asked why Dr. F referred us and she said, "he wanted a second opinion, but he said since she has a shunt and already had it once, most likely there is nothing that can be done anyway."

Well, there you have it folks...I am not paying for a dr. visit that we don't need! So, we are staying out of the OR for now! WOOT!! WOOT!!
