We are still waiting to hear back from Blue Cross about whether or not Steven has been approved for the Shepherd Center.We met this morning with the caseworker from Blue Cross. She basically wanted to know why we felt Shepherd was the place for Steve (it seems obvious to us, but I guess insurance needs everything spelled out). Right now, we are waiting for the doctor here to talk to the doctors at Blue Cross. The Blue Cross caseworker said that we should know by early afternoon.
Steven looks good this morning, the swelling in his face looks almost all gone. He was given an antibiotic again because there is an infection in his lungs. Hopefully, it will clear up soon, they started him on antibiotics last night. As I mentioned yesterday they are keeping his ventilator turned up so that he doesn't get too fatigued before he is transported. They just want to keep him stable. His doctor did say that he was in good shape for the move.
He seemed tired today, but said that he did get to sleep last night, which is good since we weren't too pleased with his less-than-positive night nurse. But today, Paul is his nurse again, and he's smiley and attentive, so Steve is in good hands.
