Nitty gritty update

We are feeling blessed. So far $7980 has been donated to help Lila get to Denver. We have already sent $6000 of that to National Jewish Hospital and so now we have dates. Assuming we can raise the money, she will be going July 14-27.

We are floored by the giving that we have seen, and we have been sustained by the outpouring of love, concern, and support. We know that getting Lila to Denver is what we need to do for her health, but sometimes we struggle with the emotional part of it all. We feel adrift and are anchored by words and prayers coming our way.

How much more we need to raise is uncertain. We found out that we are not eligible for financial aid from the hospital since our primary insurance doesn't cover Lila's asthma and lung trouble. There is a possibility of making payments on some of the amount but we don't know yet. We likely will need another $7000-$13000 for the hospital as well money for the trip. We have faith that it is going to work out. How can we not with the support we have received? Thank you all for your care and love for us and especially for Lila - you can't know how much your comments, cards, phone calls, and prayers all mean.
