Prayers for Morgan Harris

Hey guys don't freak out the cancer is not back!
This Thursday at 10am Morgan has another surgery at the James Hospital at Ohio State University.
They are removing the internal prosthesis she had pUT in when she was 7 and had her humerus bone removed.
This new one like her old one will allow her arm length to be extended. Also they are removing her left fibula and are going to graft it to the cadaver bone that the new prosthesis will be set in.
Also they are going to install what is called a total reverse shoulder implant so that her shoulder will actually be able to move.
She has not been able to move her right shoulder since she was 7.
Surgery is expected to last 9 to 13 hours and recovery will be 6 to 10 days. So this Christmas will be a rough one for her since she will be in a hospital bed all day.
She will be in a walking boot for 4 to 6 weeks and a arm brace and sling for 4 to 6 months.
Lol she takes her drivers exam on Wednesday and she is hoping that she passes or else she will have to wait until late spring early summer to get her license.
This new shoulder/humerus should giver her enough range to lift her right arm up so that her hand can be straight out.
Any hoot you guys and gals here on bowsite have always had our back when we have needed prayers.
Thanks in advance and I wI'll keep you all updated even on the drivers exam lol....
That is one amazing and brave girl you have there! I hope all goes well.
Floating one from SE Ohio Kelly.....Merry Christmas!
Sounds like Lindsay Wagner in "The Bionic Woman". Let me know when she beats you in the bench press.....I'll give it 12 months...lol
Absolutely!......Prayers from Indiana for a quick recovery.

Will certainly lift Morgan and the entire Harris family in prayer. Praying for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.
All the best to that special young lady! She's got so many Bowsiters keeping her in our thoughts and prayers, I hope you (and the rest of the family) know that.
(I know Morgan's not one to want anyone to feel sorry for her BUT; ... if the driver test isn't going quite as well as she hopes on Wed. a few words about her upcoming surgery might earn her a couple of extra points). :-)
Prayers sent for a successful surgery and a quick recovery.
Good luck Morgan and family. My daughter has had more than her share of surgeries but it pales in comparison. I feel for you.
Prayers sent.... Merry Christmas..
My heart skipped a beat....glad things are going well Kelly!

Prayers to you, Morgan...you got this!
Best Wishes, Jeff
Best wishes to you Morgan. Kelly, I'm sure you know this, but that is an amazing daughter you have. The man above gotcha covered!!
That is a tough test for her, but a the end of all of this she will likely have an appreciation for life that few will be able to understand. I wish her the best.
Prayers from Utah
You will be just fine Morgan--stay strong
Good luck, Robb
what a special young lady she is... good luck with the surgery and recovery Morgan & Harris family... Merry Christmas and a healthy happy new year.
You got it kelly. Morgan have a Merry Christmas im sure you will have some fun with the nurses and vistors! Food luck and God bless
The reverse shoulder procedure is fascinating to me. I have had a friend who had it and did very well. Rehab was supposedly better than the previous method, but she didn't have anything to compare it to.
I suspect the recovery from this surgery a piece of cake compared to the unknowns of cancer (albeit a painful and long-lasting piece of cake...).
Best wishes for the holidays. Tough (former) kid and tough parents too.
Prayers from Nebraska to Ohio.
Prayers from Northeast Pa and a Merry Christmas to her and her family.
Saw the thread and my heart skipped a beat!

Frick Kelly! I didn't enjoy reading that thread title. Good luck young lady, you got this.
Praying for a quick recovery Kelly!
man that is some tough girl you have there. Best wishes to you and the family.
OK so Michele gets a call from the surgeon about 2 hours ago.
Surgery is postponed until the 27th or January 5th.
The internal prosthetic has not been shipped from Europe. Grrrrrrr
It is all God's plan so it is what it is.
I told Michele to call back and just make it the 5th. That way there is no B.S.
Heck her original surgery was originally set for December 6th?
Oh well, more to post later.
Thanks for the prayers and positive energy everyone....
God bless. Praying for and wishing you all the best!
Prayers and positive energy to Morgan and your whole family Kelly - Happy Christmas as well!
As an old lady I knew would have said, You skeert me Kelly when I saw the title.
I missed this yesterday. Sorry the surgery was put off, that's got to make it rough on all you all. Prayers from here for sure.
Morgan is old enough to drive now? OK, I think I'll rescind my offer to adopt her, she's getting to close to college age. ;)
I have seen the power of prayer and will be praying for her. There is a God and he is good. We don't understand him all the time but he works on his schedule not ours.
She will be fine and is a lot tougher than most of us on here.
Prayers sent form WI. One brave young lady.
Not very nice Kelly. Best of luck Morgan !
Well Morgan just passed her drivers test!
We officially have a new permanent driver on the road!!!
Good luck tomorrow Morgan.
Kelly - I was just thinking about you three yesterday and the impending, now postponed, surgery. Sorry to hear about the delay, but things happen for a reason. Now you three can enjoy the magic of the holidays in the comfort of your home. Please keep us updated. Will be lighting candles for Morgan, Michelle and you, but mostly for Morgan. ;-)
Praising God that she passed the test!!!
Prayers sent for Morgan and Merry Christmas to you and your Family!
Good luck today Morgan. Kelly let us know how things go. Long day for all you guys, but you are in our prayers!
Prayers for Morgan and a successful surgery. Merry Christmas!
Prayers for Morgans speedy recovery and on passing her drivers test:)
Surgery is postponed until January 5
Surgery is postponed until January 5
Congratulations on the driving test and good luck with the surgery Morgan.
Merry Christmas to the entire Harris family. Stay strong, lots of good prayers from all us Bowsiters.
Prayers sent and congrats on the pass!
Prayers sent from PA good luck Morgan Merry Christmas.
Been praying for Morgan. Best holiday wishes too.
I'm sure you were looking foreward to getting past surgery but postponement was probably best. Now you can have a wonderful Christmas and new year with no restrictions or bandages. Your family in our thoughts and prayers.
How did the surgery go???? Leaving us hanging worse than a Connecticut live hunt Kelly. Please share.
I did share Bou, lol
It's postponed until January 5th.
The prosthetic was made in Europe and it's lost in shipping. Hopefully they find the thing because it cost bookoo bucks to make.
On a good note We get to spend Christmas at home and not a hospital room.
Plus this week is Holiday week all week and I get to worknow 5 days 13 hours a day at double time rate.
I feel much better taking off unpaid with the bigger check!!! :0)
Since Odumbacare I now pay more than our house payment with the monthly premium's and the 7700.00 deductible.
Oh well the money part is easy it's the handicap that Morgan has had to live with for the last 7 years.
Any hoot I cannot tell you all what it means to my family for all of the support you give Morgan.
She talks about it often how all kinds of bowsiters have supported her for so many years.....
Will keep Morgan and your family in my prayers.
Merry Christmas to the Harris family...god bless you..good man Kelly..stay strong brother........
Congrats on the driver license Morgan!
Go get 'em on the 5th!!!!!?
Kelly, surgery still on for Thursday?
Yes Morgan's surgery is at The Ohio State University Hospital at the James Hospital.
We have to have her there at 6am so we will be leaving our house around 04:00 to 04:30.
Surgery is scheduled for 8am and should last anywhere from 8.5 to 13 hours long.
She isn't worried at all. she is very excited to possibly be able to move her right arm from the shoulder again.
Now mom and I are of course nervous as hell.
But as we always have we will put this in our Lords hands and His Son's our Savior Jesus and pray that they give her a quick and hopefully painless surgery as they did the last time.
As we all know it is always in God's plan and I have absolutely no right to question it. We know that Morgan is as much his child as I am to him and whatever his plan is it is not for me to even question!
She should be in the hospital for 5 to 10 days and then back home.
She will be in a walking boot for 3 to 5 weeks and in a arm brace for about 4 months.
I will post more on the day of surgery.
Once again thank you all for your support and prayers....
Sending up prayers for Morgan from WV
I will be praying for Morgan and her parents to have peace, and the doctors to have wisdom.
Our prayers are with you Morgan, one little girl shouldn't have to go through so much.
ElkNut1
You guys all deserve nothing but the best and that is what this will mean for your family. Prayers going towards Columbus. Just make sure you are the one driving to the hospital at 4am up 71.
Absolutely Bou, besides talking snow showers Thursday morning so no way are Michele and Morgan driving
Still praying here for all you all.
Lifting Morgan, family and medical team/hospital staff in prayer. Keep the faith.
Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers today. Faith will get you through this.

God Bless,
Scar.
Prayers for a successful surgery and recovery for Morgan and prayers for your family as well through this stressful time. Sounds like she got her driver's license, so great news there. Drive safe and God Bless.
OK so we asked Morgan what she wanted to do tonight before her surgery tomorrow.
Well she said let's go to the gun range! I've never shot a pistol before and let's go as a family.
Somehow Michele ended up walking out with a tiffany blue conceal carry pistol.
A Ruger lcp380
Morgan and her oldest brother.
Morgan you are in our prayers as well as the Harris family!
Good family time!! Good luck to Morgan and the family.
I pray it goes well today.
Good luck, Robb
Praying for Morgan! And family! Greg
We are here and she is ready!

Keep up the good spirits!!
Awesome all the way around! Great attitude and spirit! Continued prayers from AZ!
Scar.
Looks like a damn strong family to me!!! Good luck Lil gal....
Praying for Morgan and family! God's got this!!!!!
Kelly - Morgan, you and your family will be in the thoughts and prayers of the kids and our family today. Morgan's small fans in our household are looking forward to news that all has gone well.
Hope and pray all goes well.
Prayers for Morgan's successful surgery and recovery.
Good Luck! What a great attitude. Wishing her all the best in 2017!
Thoughts and prayers are with you! Best of luck!
Lots of prayers. Will be thinking about you all today.
Give us an update when the surgery is done. Is the surgical procedure expected to be a couple hours, or is it much longer? When does the surgery begin?
9 to 13 hours I believe was the estimate Jake.
T Mac,
I just reread the original post....you are right. Should be done around dinnertime.
Kelly,
Did she pass her drivers test?
Keeping Morgan, the medical staff, and your family in our prayers.
We are praying our Lord Jesus, the Great Shepherd, will touch and heal His (your) little lamb Morgan completely and fill her with life in abundance! We know He is with you through this and is holding the Harris family in His strong arms! Much love from your brother and sister in Colorado.
Amazing to see her with that beautiful smile while waiting on the hospital bed. What a young lady.
Surgery was for casted to be 9 to 13 hours long.
Yes she passed her drivers test and she is wanting a jeep wrangler from (uncle Jake) lol
Jake, Michele says (Tell Jake I said Hi)
They just popped in again as they have every 2 hours and said everything is going good!!!
Here is a part of what they are putting in her arm so she will have mobility in her shoulder.
Exciting technology. Praying for huge success!
The Ruger LCP is a great little gun too and a fantastic value. I prefer to carry it over any just because of size. Just add some +P ammo and you're good to go.
Wow Doctors just came in, Morgan is done surgery went very well!!!
Also they lengthened her arm about 1 inch and move some muscle around to make the shoulder match the other shoulder size.
For the last 8 years her right shoulder had been the same size as it was the day of her surgery 8 years ago.
Bowsiters thank you again for all your prayers and we'll wishes....
Glad to hear she came through it well. She certainly is one tough cookie
Best news in a long time. So pleased it worked out well for Morgan and the family. Excellent.
Kelly, Tell Morgan the bald guy from Loveland says to get well soon so she can kick her old man's butt.
Outstanding. Glad that things went well....
Goodness how she's grown. I am glad the surgery went well, she has sure been a trooper through it all. Still praying for you all. From the looks of Morgan, I may have to start praying for you when the boys start coming around. ;) I remember those days.
Kelly, I've been dormant for a while but so glad I found this thread. We are honored to be able to add to the prayer support for your whole family. Morgan's smile just made my day brighter
Greg
Kelly & Morgan - prayers have been sent your way! You are a strong young lady and we are wishing you a speedy recovery!!
Praying for a speedy recovery. You know what to do Kelly. Keep the faith. And, tell Morgan to get healed up soon! God Bless you all. Especially that little girl
A big AMEN for Morgan and the Harris family!
Great news and well wishes for a speedy recovery! God bless the Harris family.
Good news for sure. Hope the recovery goes well.
Great Young Girl! Strong Family! Great web site. All my best thoughts are with Morgan and her family!
That is wonderful news Kelly.
Congrats Morgan !
Good luck, Robb
Great news and continued prayers for recovery.
Great news!! Prayers sent:)
Great news, prayers for a speedy recovery.
Great news! Glad to hear the surgery went well and praying for a speedy recovery!
Makes my day great news Lewis
Just checked on this thread again. Best wishes for Morgan and family !
Great news! Please keep us updated.
Fantastic!
Thanks for the update. Prayers for a quick recovery.
She is up today sitting up moving from bed to chair and chair to bed less than 24 hours from surgery.
There is a video on my Facebook from last night within 3 hours coming off of surgery, I will try and get it on here it's hilarious.
Glad to see how well she looks. I can't imagine your stress--last month my 12 year old broke her arm and had surgery to place a screw and pin. I was a wreck watching her getting wheeled into surgery. You've got a brave one.
One heck of a great smile on her face so glad to see that
wow she looks great, but what is up with the boot on the foot?
Bowsite really needs a like it and lo it button!!!
Awesome! She is a trooper for sure!
Dr. Sharschmidt just came in and is very pleased with Morgan's recovery.
Hopefully we get to go home Monday or Tuesday.
He rotated Morgan's right shoulder. This shoulder has not been able to move since she was 6 years old.
It rotated fully and Morgan started to cry as did Dad!!!
One happy Father tonight.
Bought the boot is because they removed her fibula and used it and grafted it to the cadaver bone in her arm.
The photo on the left is her new implant the photo on the right is the old one that was broke!!!
Kelly, absolutely amazing. I hope that Morgan is comfortable and recovers well. I will be in Columbus tomorrow for my son's games and watching Ohio state play Penn State. If you need something let me know.
That is awesome Kelly thanks for the update!
YES!! Glad to hear the good news. That's amazing.
Great news and keep it up!!! Scooby
Incredible surgery !!
Praying for continued positive recovery and healing.
So much answered prayer has already occurred. Equally as much prayer needed moving forward. Keep the faith.
If they took the fibula out of her leg, to use it in her upper arm, then what in blazes did they do to replace the missing fibula in her leg?
I can't get over all the smiles and positive attitude.
One incredible young lady for sure!
Jakes they left about 2 inches of the fibula at the knee and at the ankle.
Apparently you really don't need the fibula unless your a serious athlete.
Today they just removed the catheter and they have physical therapy coming in and they want to get her up and walking several times today.
They are also removing her morphine pump as well.
It sounds like they are letting us go home tomorrow but it looks like Michele is pushing to wait until Monday afternoon...
Man oh man. I wish I was as tough as that girl.
OK physical therapy was in and Morgan walked about 20 feet.
She is doing fantastic!!!
What an amazing beautiful young lady. Very blessed. Always checking on and rooting from Colorado!
Awesome update. Wishes for a Speedy recovery!!
Tough young lady right there.
OK the plastic surgeon just left and said he is sure Morgan will go home Monday afternoon/evening.
To those of you who have sent care gifts and card's thank you all so much. It really made her feel good.
Here is the best photo I have of an xray of Morgan's new prosthesis.
You can see where the big screw goes in there is a small piece of metal by itself. That is where the old screw broke and they said it was best to leave it in.
Also under the shoulder on the left side of the shafts you will see a small protrusion coming off just under the ball.
That is where they will open her arm and use an Allen wrench to lengthen her arm.
Morgan was able to walk by herself about 15 feet with a cane today!
She should be golden to walk around by herself by Friday.
I am 61 years old and your daughter went thru more in one weekend then I have endured in a lifetime and did it with a smile. What an amazing lady. Thanks Lord for this young lady as she is an inspiration to us all
Kelly, I'm glad Morgan is doing well, our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Hopefully, I will see you soon.
Kelly, Morgan is an inspiration.
I don't push much Bowsite on my kids but I do show Morgan to my daughter before she has surgery as inspiration.
Please tell her she has helped even though she may not know.
Morgan had her epidural removed this morning. They asked her if she wanted to come home today. She said she would feel better if she stayed on more night to see how the pain was.
So tomorrow she should be home by noon time.
She will be out of school for about 1 month but she is an honor student so that should not be an issue with her academics.
Once again thanks everyone for the prayers and well wishes you all have made this ordeal much easier for the Harris Clan!
great to hear !
prayers for full recovery and success
All according to Plan. Great news. You all deserve it!!!
So happy for all of you! She is a real trooper. Great family, lots of class.
Here she is first day walking on her own more than 10 feet at a time.
She walked her entire floor with cane
She comes home tomorrow
You have an amazing daughter there Mr. Harris. I'm happy for you all!
Fantastic news...Im a cataraft fishing guide outfitter in md..I have open seats for you and Morgan , whenever she's ready....I can put you two on a 100 bass on 4/5 hrs, really fun time... Beautiful scenery..Keep it up Morgan!!! Your a tiger!!.. Pat
She's a good looking young lady, tough as nails regarding pain, and an honor student....yup, she CLEARLY takes after Michelle....LOL!!
On a serious note, now that she can rotate her shoulder, do you think that she will continue to hunt with a crossbow....I'm wondering if the new joint could handle the strain of a bow?
Truly an inspiration!!! Incredible young lady!! I am 52 and about to have my left shoulder replaced, seeing this thread has made me think anything is possible!! Best wishes!! Scooby
Jakes she brought that up on Saturday.
She will be in that arm brace for 3 to 4 months along with physical therapy so this year it's doubtful but I am hoping by next year yes.
Regardless just like my boys she will have to pass a proficiency test before she would be allowed to hunt with her bow. My dad did it to me and I passed the tradition down.
She will be home this afternoon
Great news! Prayers from MN.
Great news!! Praying for continued recovery and unlimited use of arm!
I can only imagine what type of physical therapy will be involved....
Keep the faith Morgan
Good luck, Robb
Heres to a speedy recovery for Morgan. Truly an inspiration.
Kids are so resilient! Morgan continued best wishes for a speedy recovery going forward. Looking forward to seeing you back in a tree stand come the fall.
Keep us posted. She's a trooper!
Amazing girl you have there Kelly!! Big smile on her face through it all!
Kids are so resilient! Morgan continued best wishes for a speedy recovery going forward. Looking forward to seeing you back in a tree stand come the fall.
Just saw this. Prayers Morgan for a full and speedy recovery!
OK I got home from work last night and I walk in the house and Morgan walks past me and says hi Dad!
LOL she is walking without a cane in her walking boot!
She is a trooper. I just shake my head thinking she was supposed to be in the hospital until this coming Monday and she is already home and walking 100% on her own.
OK just got home from Columbus. Morgan had an appointment with her plastic surgeon.
He said he is amazed at her recovery.
She starts physical therapy this Wednesday.
He said all of the nerves areally functioning as they should be. He was not expecting the progress she has already for another 2 months.
He did say 100% recovery could be another 8.5 months and he is expecting it to only be 4 or 5 months with the progress she has now.
Here is her new prosthesis. Much more heavy duty than the last one.
He said she can start walking without the walking boot next Wednesday.
Jeez Kelly I just teared up. Hang in there kid - lots of prayers heading your way.
Kelly, I have been out of the loop for a while and didn't see this until today. Tell Morgan that I said congratulations. She really is an amazing kid. She has been through so much and has such a positive outlook and attitude. I can't wait to see how she is doing in the near future. I am sure that she will recover quickly. She comes from pretty tough stock. You guys are in my prayers. May God keep blessing your family. Be well Brother, Jay
Jayg,
She said she wanted to go to deer camp this weekend and hang by the fire!
So with season ending next weekend I am gonna get out to hunt.
Cold front moves in high of 35 so hopefully all is good?
All I can say is WOW she is is an incredible young lady!
And, you are one lucky Dad to have a kid like her.
great news and no surprising given her strength and that of the family. Looking great, Morgan.
Good news. That's one amazingly strong girl. I'm gonna go throw up now.
Glad for you and your good news. here's to both of you.
Today she is officially out of her walking boot!
Lord does it stink! She even said put it in the garage it should keep the mice away all winter!
Her last 2 visits have went great with her doctors and last week she had 3 days of physical therapy.
SCOOBY - I am going to talk more in depth with her doctor about the stress of archery with her having a total reverse shoulder implant.
I told her today that she needed to use her cane for 3 or 4 days just to make sure her stability is sound in the leg that they removed the fibula from.
Kelly, I cannot imagine what Morganand your entire family has been through, but your steadfast faith has been inspirational. Sometimes it is hard to see God's love and grace when things are at their worst, but I believe you and your family have. Continued prayers for Morgan's speedy recovery and for all of you as you support her in all ways.
WOW!!!!
Thank You ObamaCare!
We just got our bill, since the surgery was not in Cincinnati they are saying that this was all done out of network.
Our total out of pocket payout is a tiny $14,750.00 for this year! That's on top of our Monthly Insurance premiums.
When she was first diagnosed with Cancer the year before Obama took office we had a total payout of $375.00 for 11 months of chemo and her internal prosthesis and such. that total bill was roughly 1 million dollars.
Now Our out of pocket is $14,750.00 LMAO gotta love the company doing everything they can to avoid the Cadillac tax that was imposed by the previous administration. The sad part is can all get fixed by President Trump but we all know the companies we work for wont reduce our out of pocket.
What's funny is they called me a week before the surgery and said everything was fine and would be covered. Lord I had no idea this was going to hit me. Oh well it doesn't make a difference we would not, Not have had the surgery. She was getting this new shoulder and arm regardless!!!
Then to boot today I start the rest of my life on insulin. My doctor said no matter how thin I get unless I want to run 6-8 miles a day every day I am on inulin until the cure is found!!!! How did that old salt commercial go? When it rains it pours!
Hey on the bright side Morgan goes back to school on Monday and the physical therapist says she is doing much better than was projected for this short of time. Her next appointment with her orthopedic is on the 17th.
Glad to hear she is doing well.
Morgan is stronger and tougher than any of the Bowsite badasses.
Kelly, we should share Obamacare horror stories over several beers. In the grand scheme it's only money, but still a pisser nonetheless.
Kelly,. I just started reading this today. Prayers for your family. I am so proud of you all. Talk about getting up Everytime you fall. You guys are remarkable. Gary
Players sent. She is an inspiration to all.
Excellent news for Morgan, Prayers answered... sorry about the O bummer care, send 20 bucks a month and they can't bother you! Maybe Uncle Trump can clear some of the garbage up as we move long.
Continued prayers for you and your family, you are all a great inspiration!
God Bless Kelly,
Scar.
Lol jaquomo, I have not had a drink since the drinking in moderation thread several weeks back!
Lol Scar I could do that, but I have debt which I assumed and I wIll pay it off before the years end.
I may be working every ounce of overtime I can get a hold of to pay it off but it will get paid.
It's just sad when 48% live off of 52% and so many people accept that it is OK for a society to be that way.
Update on Morgan,
Well its been just over 45 days since her surgery and she has been going to physical therapy for 3 weeks 3 times per week.
Two nights ago Morgan is sitting on the couch and I am in the chair across from her.
She looks at me and calm and smoothly says (Dad, I bet I can make you cry in 25 seconds!)
I replied with a chuckle and said to her real men don't cry! She replied you cried all the time when I had cancer!
So she says (Are you ready to cry?) I said Morgan not going to cry unless you ask me to help you with your Trig homework!
She takes her arm out of her brace and lifts her arm out and up to her side about 3 or 4 inches high. She cocks her head and gives me the little shit eatin grin!
About 20 seconds later she say Haaaaaaa I won the bet!!!
She has not been able to move her shoulder since she finished Kindergarten. I am just totally amazed at her new prosthesis.
On another good note I appealed the out of network charge and won. So now our medical payout is reduced from the $14,750.00 down to $7,300.00......
She is also getting some motor skills back into her hand as well. The nerves have been in shock so the hand has been basically dead for a while. She can close her thumb and move one of her fingers as well.
They are saying within 2 months she should have full motor skills in her right hand. But they also said it could take up to 6 to 9 months also.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!! The prayers of many are being answered.....
All the best for her continues improvement......
>>>>-------->
Good news. She is a trooper!!!!!!
Kelly, That is excellent news, and made my eyes kinda foggy! The Lord truly is gracious and divine, Prayers Answered!
God Bless,
Scar.
Very happy for her and your family!
Would love to meet that young lady someday you go gal Lewis
So happy to hear all is going better than expected. You are one tough lady. Praying for continued daily improvement and a great recovery.
Hope, modern medicine, and a family that prays together has made your journey doable.
my best, Paul
Very happy for your family, continued success with the journey.
Kelly as an independent agent dealing with O care daily. APPEAL YOUR BILL! If you were told it was pre-approved out of network they have to give you network pricing. Also, what is the policy (Out of Pocket Maximum). $14, 750 seems higher than all the plans I work with. Just a thought for you! It's still not to late to do a formal appeal.
Mt. Man - read my most frequent post I did appeal it and won so the cost went from out of network to in network which I pay 15% or a maximum of $7,300.00
I am not on Obama Care I work for MillerCoors Brewing Company.
I still have to pay on top of the $7,300.00 my monthly premium as well. So it is still gonna be around 14k just not 14k plus my premium.
Glad to hear more good news Kelly.
I don't know where I have been but this is the first I have seen this thread. As an emotional guy I can't say how many times I was moved to tears of either sadness or joy reading the thread. Just want to add my prayers for continued health and recovery.
What an amazing person this kid is!
Going thru not only painful and difficult surgeries and recoveries is bad enough, but she seems to be doing it with a constant smile on her face.
Then top it off she is a teenager is what is already a difficult time for so many.
I'm just amazed by this little gal. I'm guessing there is some good parenting that contributed to it as well.
Speedy recovery wishes sent from Wisconsin to that little spitfire. Knock em' dead kid!
Glad to hear the good news. She is a real trooper
This whole thread, WOW! Brings a tear to my eye, both for the sorrow of it all and now for the joy of it. Continued success to you young lady! I wish you the best. You are in the prayers of many.
God is good...but you already know that Kelly. Brought a tear to this ole boy.
Kelly, glad Morgan is doing well!! We max out our $5000 every year for our daughter. Sucks being responsible but I sleep at night.
Wow awesome news again. She is an amazing young lady. Can't wait to see her hunting diaries this year when she gets back out. My daughter is 8 and I show her all of Morgan's stuff to show her how strong little girls are and how important it is to stay positive.
This is great news Kelly. Continued blessings to you and your family.
That is wonderful Kelly!
Thanks for the update
Good luck, Robb
Glad that things are going well for her!
Awesome news Kelly! Morgan is an inspiration!
So happy for Morgan, sorry Kelly about the insulin and the bills. I just got back to work and the internet tonight after 10 weeks away from work because of a knee replacement. I have been doing therapy for two months to get back into work shape and thought at times I was having a rough time but Morgan is my hero and now on my daily prayer list my best. John
Happy to hear things are going so well. Keep smiling and thanking the Lord.
She deserves all the blessings that are doing her way. Great news
Kelly
Thanks for the update. I just felt a prayer boomerang - an awesome feeling!
