Hi Michelle,

So glad to hear you are taking your little Jennifer to Dr. Steinberg. She will be in excellent hands. And the nurses and doctors and technicians are all very nice.

I do know that some MMD patients' insurance has covered the travel and hotel. That is rare these days but I would still check it out with your insurance company or benefits office.

I hope you get to stay at the Ronald McDonald house because it is nice and close to the hospital.  If not, Stanford has discounts at local hotels.  DJ has a list of the discounted hotels on the site. Also, you may get airfare covered  by contacting such places as AngelFlight etc. There is also a list of air travel assistance on the board. Be sure to get this moving quickly as they require notice. In addition to private pilots that donate their time and aircraft, there are also major airlines that will donate airfare. Again, it is important to act on this quickly due to the amount of time they require to process paperwork etc.

I hope this is helpful to you. Please keep us posted on Jennifer's status and progress.

I will keep you and Jennifer in my thoughts and prayers.

Hugs,

Lore
