Lincoln has now been in the hospital for 28 days. At 30 days he will qualify for disability from Medicaid. Initially we assumed that he would be out of the hospital long before then, and we would be paying doctor bills for the rest of our lives. We accepted this fact with ease, as our only concern was Lincoln. However I'm sure once we have him home, and the bills start piling up, we will greatly appreciate the Medicaid which will cover everything our insurance wont.
Yesterday Lincoln had a nice relaxing day, as relaxed as you can be with alarms beeping every few seconds. (I hear beeping when I sleep sometimes.) He slept all day, recovering from the productive previous day. He did get his inner jugular line removed, So Will was finally comfortable holding him.
Dwindling lines, what a good sight. This rack used to be jam packed full of fluid lines.

I'm sorry that Lincoln will have been in the hospital for so long, but Medicaid will be SUCH a blessing!! We racked up over $85,000.00 in medical bills for Tucker's 18 day stay in the NICU, and he didn't have near the amount of things done to him that Lincoln has had. Our insurance paid for most of it, but we still are making payments on our portion--and it's been more than a year now. So yes, Medicaid will be a tremendous blessing. Glad things are still going well!
I am so so happy to hear your baby is on the mend and reading your blog how strong he is... it's amazing cause of his amazing parents. You and Will are great. I hope you are feeling better and hope you get your lil man home soon so you can spoil him rotten
Hooray! I've been meaning to ask if you ever ended up getting medicaid coverage. It must be such a relief. Blessings! Love you guys.
What a happy day---a good news day! I love the pictures of Will and his little son--very tender. Such good news all the way around!
