So I haven’t done a proper Memorable Monday series since December 24 and I was going to skip it again today because I’m still feeling like crap and can barely keep my eyes open but suddenly I just changed my mind. I think I would rather tell you a funny story about me as a…
We did it, Aetna approved the medicine!
Good News! After a rather interesting chain of events Aetna decided to approve the 4 pills of Vimpat per day that Tiara needs for her seizures. Whoa!!! It appears this blog now has another use, for which I never intended, pressure people to do the right thing! So the story goes like this. Wednesday morning…
Does Karma really exist?
Does Karma really exist and if so what does that say about my life? Have you ever read one of my posts and wondered “What did Tiffani do in the past to deserve all this crap? Does she have bad karma or what?” I know you have thought this at least once, I know I…
Aetna has denied Tiara the medication she needs and I’m crazy mad!
If you follow me on Facebook you know I was a basket case on Christmas Eve because our health insurance decided Tiara didn’t need 4 pills of Vimpat each day, but only 2, so they denied the pre-authorization and I was unable to get her medicine. Why even have health insurance? Vimpat is one…
Will I really know when the time has come?
Sadly I have spent some time during the last week thinking about when to put our dog to sleep. I mentioned in a previous post that Bailey our standard poodle was diagnosed with lymphoma, even though he just turned 6 this September. Unfortunately the cancer is growing really fast and we have been faced with…
Welcome to the Goff House…
I can’t tell you how great it feels to be home with Tiara. We finally got released from the hospital on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and when we drove up to the house, I could see from the driveway that something was posted on our front door. “What the heck is that?” I thought to…
From the ICU to the dungeon…
Because Tiara is improving so much the doctors wanted to move her out of the ICU and put her on the “floor” today. For those of you who aren’t frequent fliers of the hospitals, yes that is what the nurses actually call kids like TT, “the floor” doesn’t mean literally on the germ ridden ground…
Tiara is getting better, yet again!
Good news! Tiara is off the bipap and is on a regular oxygen mask. She thinks she is all better so my whole purpose in life has been to stop her from tearing off her leads, pulse ox, and oxygen mask all day! The nurse just asked me if I felt like I was playing…
My mini blogging vacation turned into another hospital stay…
It’s 7am on December 31, 2012 and once again I find myself sitting in the ICU at CHOC watching Tiara sleep. In my last post I mentioned everyone was getting sick so I was taking a mini vacation from blogging because I sensed I was going to be spending most of my time taking care…
My Top 15 Blog posts for the year…
Because I have decided to take a small vacation until January 1, I thought it would be fun to feature my 15 most visited posts from this year. Truth be told, Trinity got sick on Christmas, and is even sicker today. Bailey had a bad night and we had to rush him to the…
