Title: he is here
Post by: Screened Gear on November 02, 2012, 01:58:19 AM
So my little guy, Mason Alexander Roddewig, was due on December 6th but was born October 30th at 5am. He is doing great for being born early. He was 5 pound 8 ounces and has no issues. He is already off all assistance and now just has to meet his eating levels to come home. It was scary for a while but I am finally able to breathe. Now I am backed up on jobs and have some nice hospital bills but its all worth it to have the little guy doing good.

Awesome!!!  Great to hear he's ok.  Ours is 2.5 years old, and we just got a new bill from the hospital saying we owe them $1K more.  We had paid everything off a while ago and now this, it never ends so get ready for the crazy billing.

Congrats!  Coming home to him will surely put a smile on your face and make any stress from work roll away (even if he keeps you up all night)!

No insurance? We don't have any insurance so its scary. We paid a hospital package that covered everything but the NICU stuff. I just keep saying; I can make more money, I can't live with out my little guy. Make sure to tell them your paying cash and you want a discount. 124k is alot but its still worth it. If they make you a deal it could be as low as 25%. That is about how much I paid for my first one. Is yours still in the hospital. If so I hope for the best.

insurance is covering it, we are only out of pocket few k so far. So not a bad deal after all. There is probably another 250 coming for the next surgery. Without insurance we'd be screwed! Isla has been home for about two months now. She is doing well, and other than having to have the large intestine "replumbed" she is great. But not to steal your thunder, glad to hear Mason is doing OK!!!

Congrats again!
