From Kathleen

I have had a few emails from Kathleen.  I asked her if I could share them.  Her words are a testimony to your prayers.

For once I am able to report TWO pieces of not just good, but GREAT news.

First, I received a bill from the company in charge of my COBRA Health Insurance but was confused by it so I had to make a call.  Instead of owing 379.00 for the month of June like I thought I owe ZERO.  But that’s not all – my payments are paid through the month of September!!!!  After that the payments will be $120 instead of $350 per month for the very same insurance.

But there’s more!  I spoke with the hospital today and the $15,000+ in bills I owed to them has been lowered to……
ZERO!!!!  And not only that but the letter from them stating this financial help will be sent to all my doctors and they have the option (and most do) to also take off any additional bills not covered by insurance for one reason or another.  Hopefully this will get the creditors off my back before they cause me another heart attack.

My Social Security appeal is being handled by a non-lawyer organization with a 98% success rate.  Pray that this goes through quickly AND for more than I was initially told.  I will be asking my two cardiologists to write personal letters stating that going back to work is never going to be an option so pray that this helps speed things along.

Thank you for all your prayers.  With so many birthday gifts I am able to take care of all my prescriptions and doctor’s appointments.  I was also able to order a much needed thick memory foam mattress topper so I will hopefully be more comfortable at night and can get more than two to three hours of sleep.  I’m sorry if you might not have received my thank you note yet.  I’ve not had so many presents to write notes for since I got married!  I try to do at least three a day but I know I still have quite a list left.

One point for prayer:  On Thursday (tomorrow) I am having laser surgery on my right eye for the second time.  It was postponed three weeks ago because of my heart cath.  In the past week I have started to lose the 20/20 vision I had in my left eye and even now I’m having to strain to read what I am typing.  Please pray that they can stop the progression in the left eye sooner than was done in the right,

Thank you for all your prayers and emails of support and encouragement.  I love every single one of you!!!

from my heart,
Kathleen
