... PROGRAF ! (the real stuff..)

Dear Insurance Company,
I know Prograf is expensive, BUT please continue to cover it.  
I'll send cookies. 
Sincerely, a desperate Heart Mom.

I wanted to wait and have Madison's Prograf levels checked a couple times before updating her blog.  With that in mind... her levels look good so far.  We are all relieved.  We have sent letters to our insurance company, updated the pharmacy, and officially changed to Prograf.  After all of this effort and the price of Prograf, one would think the bottle would be gold, OR at least have a big, gold bow on top.  But it doesn't. 

Good news:  (so much good news...)
1. Because Madison's Prograf level is stable, we are now at once a week appointments. 
2. Last week was the first week, since November 30 that Madison only had one blood draw.  My poor little girl has been poked at least twice a week since November 30.  AND she still never cries during a poke!  She watches intently and just as she's about to get poked, we simply say, "owie" together and then she is fine. 
3. Madison's medications are slowly decreasing (this is so exciting to watch..)  She now takes only 10 medications throughout the day. 

We are so proud of our little girl.  I can't believe what she's been through and she's just fine.  It's a miracle and gives me goose bumps every time I look at her.  She is doing so well.  She's beautiful and absolutely perfect with an absolutely perfect heart.
