Time to do the happy dance!

I just heard from Apria, and our insurance has authorized coverage of Adele's formula! Oh, happy day! We'll get 9 cans, delivered directly to our door, at the low out-of-pocket cost of $24. Yay!

In other news, we had our well-baby check-up yesterday and all was, uh, well! This was our third trip to the doc this week, unfortunately. The one on Monday was a weight check, Wednesday was because A had spiked a fever the day before and today's was her regularly scheduled appointment. Anyway, she's 15 pounds on the nose, 25.5 inches long (weight puts her at 25% for full term 6 month olds, and 85% for 3 month olds--not bad, I say!). Doc wants to see a bit more tummy time to encourage her neck/arm strength, but overall she's doing fine. Poor baby had 3 vaccinations, and then her first flu vaccination at the Health Department later that afternoon. They tried giving her the oral Rotavirus vax, but after a few drops she promptly threw up her last meal all over the exam table, so they decided to delay this one for a few weeks, and she'll get it when she gets her RSV shot on the 26th.

And YES, I still owe you pictures. They are coming, I promise.

YIPPEEEE! So glad to hear insurance will come through for you. So will they reimburse you for the formula you've used to this point? Man, that is great if so. Three appts in one week? Wow. So did the temperature go away quickly?

Darrah - That's terrific news! You must be elated with the coverage of the formula. And as for Adele growing... you should be proud of that, too! My niece who will be 6m on Dec. 1 just had her well baby check up... and she's lighter and smaller than A! She is 24 inches and only 14 pounds!
