In summer...

We had a nice stretch of sunshine this past week. It was much needed!!! Lots of sunny days on the beach, in the yard, or anywhere outside. I actually had to buy a second bottle of sunscreen... what? That almost never happens.
With the sunshine and increased outdoor activity we did welcome an ankle bleed for poor Evan. Just call him the dread pirate Evan... or hobbles. While treating his bleed we were running low on factor. Ian called and ordered some up from the blood center. They were ready to send it out to us until they were informed by our insurance that insurance will no longer pay for them to supply us with factor. Well... that was unexpected. Do they want us to send it anyways? Ummm.. no thank you. We can't afford to pay for that out of pocket... pretty sure the cost of the month's supply of factor for the two boys is more than Ian makes in a year.
Poor Ian spent a stressful day arranging for factor delivery from the only place that our insurance will now approve to supply us with factor. Luckily they got us the factor in time and there was no tricky business while treating Evan's bleed. Actually we were pretty impressed with them, just an inconvenient time to have to switch. Evan's bleed seems to be getting better, it isn't over, but his limp is much less noticeable than before. Now we are enjoying a day off from feeling like we have to be out because it is a little bit rainy. Hopefully we get another stretch of sunshine here soon after Evan is all healed up. If not I will just put him in the backpack and head out with the kids berry picking.
