Just one of our CF struggles

It's a new year. And due to high medication costs, insurance decides to drop both Lynsey and Jon. Found another insurance company, but insurance rejected ALL of their meds, so our amazing CF Drs and nurses sent in authorizations to get them approved. Then pharmacy called saying they had trouble ordering these meds because most of them are specially and cannot order. So yesterday after 4 hours I transferred half of their meds to CF pharmacy who specializes in CF meds..... Praying now insurance approves!!!!! Just another struggle we face every year. Next is paying out of pocket and co pays, but that should be taken care of after these meds are ordered!!! Without insurance these meds listed would cost us around $30,000 per child per MONTH!!!!!!! We need a cure. Please pray for this insurance issues!
