Shawn's Battle

Update on Shawn: He was admitted to the hospital last week to start dialysis, but after many tests they found out he had pneumonia in both lungs. He underwent many tests and was given high powered antibiotics and was released Sunday night. The doctor advised him to try to stay active, but it is very hard for him because he feels so bad and has no energy. He can barely play our precious baby boy Landon. Every day is a battle for Shawn to keep on going, but if I have anything to do with it, HE WILL, because we love him so much!!

We are now trying to plan our Fish Fry/Auction for Shawn to raise money to help with his medical expenses. For instance, today we went to pick up a new prescription that is a Phosporus binding pill for end stage kidney failure and it was $50 with insurance, we were shocked to find out that it is $700 without insurance, but he needed it. And even though we do have insurance at this time, expenses really do build up with co-pays, medication, transportation and procedures the insurance does not cover.
