Hi. I'm a nervous wreck.

We had no preparation for this. We knew the doctor was trying to get him approved (he was denied this morning), she called another doctor, he got approved (something about not using the right codes), blah blah blah.

So the hospital just calls me and says "Tell him to come right in, we have a bed for him". I said "what do you mean, you have a bed, where does he show up?" I had no information up to this point. So I calmed down, he just left, he goes to admitting and he gets a room. At least this is what I am led to believe.

I tried to find out where they do the IVIG, so I called the 5th floor at methodist and because he is not there yet, they don't have any info. I tried to find out where he gets the IVIG, (at the bedside, or another room) and they told me "everything depends on the doctor".

So I KNOW NOTHING. All I know is I just packed up his stuff, kissed him goodbye, he's on his way and he'll be there for 4 days!!!

Good Lord, they could have at least given us some notice. Is this how it's always done? Oh, and I checked with ALL INSURANCE INFORMATION. He's covered completely. For home infusion also. Not bad, this Blue cross/blue shield insurance!!!

I wish someone could hold my hand right now. Never expected this.
I couldn't go because with my arthritis, I can't take trains. I'll get the access-a-ride and go tomorrow and see what is going on.

I don't like to Not Be In Control (if you know what I mean).
