I'll say a prayer for you and your family.....and be thinking of you on Friday.

I was lucky that my husband is healthy and working so the waiting period didn't bring the financial ruin that you guys are dealing with. As it was, we still had to borrow money from my parents during that time, and a lot of the backpay went to paying them back and paying off credit cards. The money would have gone much further without paying off the interest if my approval had come sooner so we could pay expenses as they came due.

I hope everything goes well for you with a decision in your favor and a quick backpay check. Best wishes on Friday !
