May...and a note about healthcare

May has been busy with preschool, swimming lessons, gymnastics and playing outside now that the weather is nicer!

I don't pretend to be super engaged in politics but I can't help but jot a note about healthcare reform here.  It SCARES me to think about bringing back limitations to coverage for pre-existing conditions and to allow states to impose an annual or lifetime max on a patient.  Without good (albeit expensive) health care for Lucy over these years, we would be literally broke.  We have spent tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket since Lucy's birth, but her costs have been in the MILLIONS of dollars for doctors, hospital fees, surgeries, medical supplies, etc. over the past 5 years and Lucy has a LIFE LONG condition that is no fault of her own - she was born with it and there isn't even enough funding for research to figure out if it is a genetic condition that has a cure beyond a lifetime of treatment.

I need to be constantly reminded that it is all about God's plan, not man's.  We will be OK, no matter what.  Matthew 6:26 - Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your Heavenly Father feeds then.  Are you not much more valuable than they?
