His Stay at the CDH NICU

... is now over Wow, what an experience. Gretchen spent three days in the hospital prior to Michael being born and then another two days before being released. Michael, on the other hand, spent the first 38 days of his life in the CDH NICU. Throughout the whole ordeal Gretchen kept worrying about what this was going to wind up costing us. All of the work that Michael was having done to him. On top of all the Gretchen had gone through. We tried reassuring her that this is what insurance was for. And we have the HMO, so what they cover, they cover very well. And the result have started trickling in. So far those 40+ days have added up to over $210,000. All covered by insurance! HMOs may get a bad rap for their hoops you may need to jump through, but when they work, they work well.
