No More Medical Bills

As of November 10th, 2009 we are officially done paying medical bills for Kinley's stay at Children's Mercy! It took just about 18 months, but we finally got everything settled with insurance and the billing department at Children's Mercy. Yeah!! (sigh of relief)
The whole process actually went better than I expected considering how long Kinley was at Children's Mercy and how high her medical expenses were. I am not sure what the final total was for all her medical expenses, but I am sure it was over $1 million. The largest bill that we ever got was for $541,767.46. After multiple calls to the billing department, the insurance company, and the pediatrician's office, 18 months later it has all been taken care of and we ended up only paying the co-pays that our insurance plan requires. It it so nice to have that all behind us now.

Here are a couple pics of Kinley showing how she feels about the situation.



Those were the best pics I could get of her smiling. It is super hard to get pics of Kinley now because she is constantly on the move. And yes, that is Kinley playing in Kobi's bed in the second picture. Kobi is a great role model for Kinley because she is really good at sharing.

I also tried to get a video of Kinley's football cheer and was fairly successful with that. If you watch closely, towards the middle of the video Kinley claps once and then puts her hands in the air signaling "touchdown".
