Medco has been fantastic, we have been able to purchase Laila's testing strips and lancets at a very low price, as long as the doctor's office sends the prescription in by the time we need it, and writes it for enough to last her 6 months or more. While Dustin and I were in Las Vegas, I received a voicemail from the endocrinology team explaining Medco had a different prescription for Laila's insulin on file, and there was a mix-up. I returned the call, only to leave a voicemail. Laila's insulin supply runs out in 6 days, and I have been stressed about it since.
Today, my doorbell rang around 5pm, and I couldn't imagine who it could possibly be. Then, I remembered I ordered a box of diapers yesterday. Sure enough, there the diapers were, sitting on my doorstep (thanks, Amazon!), but on top of that box was a package addressed to Laila. Laila doesn't get mail, especially packages, so when I tore it open, I was completely shocked at what I found.
This picture is blurry, and to the untrained eye, looks just like a few boxes of prescriptions. It's not just a few boxes of insulin, it's an entire year's supply! I couldn't believe myself! I called my dad, in tears, just absoultely amazed at how many bottles came in the mail! I was supposed to receive a 180-day supply, which would have been less than one package, or equlivent to 3 vials each of the Lantus Solorstar pens and NovoLog vials. Each of the top boxes contains five pens, and each of the bottom boxes contain five refill vials! 15 bottles of each insulin will last Laila an entire year, I still can't believe it. The best part is yet to come! The insurance company bills you one co-pay amount for the entire order, and since these two very expensive prescriptions were shipped together I only owe (wait for it...brace yourself...) $40! I literally received, by mail to my doorstep, nearly $1300 worth of insulin for just $40. I'm afraid I may just faint, I never believed my prayers would be answered.
Laila may have diabetes, but it hasn't held her back yet. I pray it never will, we will always find a way around the obstacles, the best is yet to come.
God Bless! That's awesome - can't imagine how tough it is for Laila! And, of course, for your family, but I pray that she always is happy and healthy! Lots of love!
