I still haven't heard back from Boston.. but I will soon. I am so anxious to hear what they have to say. Owen had a cardio appointment with Dr Stock today and we basically just talked for a long time. Owen should be starting his IVIG treatments as soon as next week. We are going to have some long days in ICU, but we will get through it.
I have been in contact with LPCH and we are still working with the two insurance companies to get Owen's air ambulance covered. There was also some appeals that needed to be done with the IVIG treatments. The insurance wants us to do the infusions at Stanford because they are his treating facility, but traveling every 2 weeks is not cost effective, so we are hoping they will approve the infusions in Phoenix. Hopefully they will have a solid answer by the end of today. Really.. the Immunoglobulin is going to cost the same whether it is administered in Phoenix or Palo Alto. The other hiccup we may come across is that PCH will only do infusions in an ICU setting, where LPCH will do it in a short stay outpatient unit. So I understand where they feel it is more cost effective to do the infusions there. We'll work it out either way.
Owen continues to do great. He has been playing Just Dance with the girls and I had to get it on video. Enjoy.

I am sorry you haven't heard from Boston yet. What a process this is! I am really anxious to hear how you are appealing to get them to allow you to wait at home for Owen's heart. Take good notes on your process! I have that in the back of my mind should Grant require a transplant and figuring our how to wait at home instead of in a different state would be SO great! Hugs!
You should check to see if they can admit him into Telemetry. He would still be in the ICU, but the charge is different. That might help with insurance.
