Okay, finally! Whoo! We got done what our (former) pediatric cardiologist told us could not be done - we've been approved through our insurance to go to Houston AND we've got an appointment on July 17th for Zak!
We were told he had only gotten *1* patient approved in 8 years - and not to hold our breath. So we got our pediatrician to call... and in a matter of minutes - an approval. We called last week to find out if the doc had sent the referral, he had not, so we called Houston and asked them what to do - and we took care of all the faxing and everything, and we were told today about our appointment next week.
The coordinator we spoke with at Texas Children's Hospital told us she was appalled by the behavior of the local cardio and she was 'very mad' that he gave us that prognosis. So.. for the first time in 3 weeks, I feel ok right now.
I wanted to thank everyone for helping me by being patient with my initial crazy breakdown.
