Next round of letters to UnitedHealthcare – Continued fight for coverage. #twinslife

Next round of letters with more supporting documentation requesting @unitedhealthcare to consider our appeal to cover George and Henry’s emergency delivery and stay in the @greenvillehealthsystem NICU. BTW, big thanks to Dr. Henry Hearn of @anmed_health for writing supporting letter!! Fingers crossed! #twinslife

Here is my letter to UnitedHealthcare. It is real, it is raw, and it is straight forward.

There are so many families who find themselves in the NICU facing the daunting expenses after an emergency birth. Many are shipped to other healthcare systems during this emergency to receive top-notch care, yet fight the red tape of coverage inside their policies.

I have a huge heart for nursing. #TwinsLife #NICU

First of all…I have a huge heart for nursing. My mom and sister are nurses. This image brings me joy, peace, and gratitude to the many nurses who have and are still providing the very best care to George and Henry. Nurse Lynn was giving George a bath and the way she held him, looked at him, cared for him; showcases the amount of care she brings to each child in the NICU. As I read the website for the Bryan Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Greenville Children’s Hospital…I read about the team of experts. Dr. Stewart, Dr. Halliday, and the many physicians have been so wonderful to our family. But I wanted to read about the nurses in the NICU. These nurses give so much of their time, energy, expertise, and daily care for each of the children. We have built special bonds with these nurses. They leave little notes on the boards next to their weights each day. They take time to teach us how to correctly give George and Henry a bottle, give them a bath, change their clothes with so many cords connected, read the monitors that show all the important vitals, and give us hugs when we are discouraged. These nurses bring comfort to Sarah and I as we leave our children each night to sleep 30 miles away. I am thankful to the nurses like Lynn. She represents the heart beat of the NICU, and I truly thankful for the care she provides! #TwinsLife #NICU #Canon #5Dmkiii #yeahthatgreenville

I love this picture…absolutely love this! #NICU #TwinsLife

I love this picture…absolutely love this! Rosebud and Sarah standing, talking with Henry, all the while Sarah is showing her how to safely interact with the twins inside the NICU. We have been looking for ways to maximize time for Rosebud with the twins and this is a wonderful moment in time. Thankful the type of environment that GHS’s NICU staff creates for families like ours! #NICU #TwinsLife

The Story Behing Rescued By Love – A Portrait Fundraising Effort

A few months ago, Tiffiney Addis reached out to me to see I could help here with a little project. Tiffiney is a photojournalist and has been capturing Rose’s pictures before the day she was born. And now she has become the family photographer, capturing all the important moments in Rose’s life.

This week, she hosting a photo contest that is benefitting the Bryan NICU of GHS Children’s Hospital. Her daughter was born at 21 weeks and experienced first hand the depth of experience and care in the Bryan NICU. After that day…she decided to give back.

The video above is just a small portion of her larger story and drive to make a difference. If you go to www.RescuedByLovePortraits.com, you can vote for our daughter Rose (contestant #22). Each vote is one dollar and her goal this year is $20,000, so she needs 20,000 votes.

All the money from the contest goes directly to Bryan NICU of GHS Children’s Hospital. I hope you take a few minutes and vote.
