I do not understand.....please pray
I have not been here for awhile...things are too crazy in my life right now. I hope to be able to spend more time here again...in the meantime I would like to ask all of you to pray (Regardless of your beliefs/ religion) for my friend's daughter and her twins.
Kasey found out weeks ago (She is now 5 months into her pregnancy) that she has Twin To Twin Transfer Syndrome. Basically the blood flow & nourishment is not equal between the twins. Yesterday she was told that the smaller of the two has brain damage (the severity is not known) and the larger one has developed heart problems. This morning she underwent surgery to correct the blood flow between the two. Although the surgery was a success and there was an immediate improvement the survival of the twins is still uncertain.
We are all very sad and angry at our health system. Kasey was deemed high risk weeks ago and steps should have been taken to help her much sooner/faster, but because she is low income and her health coverage is provided by the state she was not treated as well as someone (such as myself) who has been blessed with good benefits. Yes, I have also been low income and see the difference in how I was treated then compared the the care I receive now.
It sickens me that this operation that may have saved these twins lives this morning could have been done weeks ago and not only saved lives, but prevented the possibilities of the permanent disabilities that now may be irreversible.
No, none of us could ever prove that this is what actually happened. Some may say that all patients are treated with the same concern regardless of insurance coverage and that those of us who feel different are completely wrong. It is only in our own minds.
Well, I could go on and on expressing my opinion about such things, but I am suppose to be working.
Once again the real reason for this entry is not to vent, but to ask all of you for your support of prayer.
Thanks to all of you who take the time to read this. I may not be back to respond for awhile, but I will in fact update as soon as I am able.
