Hurdles keep on coming!

Things were starting to look up for my uncle. Due to some complications and the cancer progressing his team of medical professionals decided that they would go ahead with radiation despite the lack of insurance. Which is awesome because they gave him about 2 months without treatment and we were already entering into that second month.

Then he got approved for Medicaid! Praise GOD things are going great! The results from his MRI showed there had been no change in his tumors and that the complications were because of the cancer progressing and not because of the tumors growing in size or number.

Just as quickly as he was approved for Medicaid he was kicked off. Why? They said their income was too much, but their math was off somewhere because they don't make nearly as much as what the insurance is saying they do. So my aunt and uncle are back to fighting for them to have insurance AGAIN.

Currently Murray is in a rehabilitation center where he is receiving physical therapy as well as speech therapy in hopes to get him strong enough to come home again.  Luckily my aunt is able to stay there with him so he is not alone through this whole ordeal and it saves them quite a bit of money in gas. With this government shutdown there are concerns as to how they are going to keep up with stuff like their bills, food, and gas.

Due to both Murray and Julies health problems neither one of them are able to work. So they get disability and live off of that. Hopefully the shut down doesn't last long and has no effect on their income.

There are no further updates as of yet. We are still collecting donations and doing fundraisers for them to help with medical and living expenses. This has been very hard on them financially and emotionally, they can use all the help they can get.

$1 HELPS or even if you just forwarded this blog or the information to people willing to help. Any information towards organizations that can help is more than welcome! Home remedies... Anything helps.. Even a silent prayer or a few words of kindness.
