Irv Update - February 2011 #4

Dear F&F;

The referral process has started! It looks like sometime in early April Irv will be seeing Dr. Michael Gluck at the downtown Seattle Campus of VM.

The process is this:

All medical records faxed to Dr. Gluck
He checks them out and decides what testing, etc he wants done when Irv arrives
His assistant calls with the appointment schedule
We go to Seattle and get it done!

Right now Irv is feeling really well. He is almost back to being himself. Let us hope this euphoria isn't dashed with a reality check of some sort.

We've finally had new snow, but only about 5-6" and it is really heavy and wet. Just like cement.

Mt. Bachelor has given us a voucher for 2 season passes for next year. We bought season passes in Sept. but didn't get the chance to use them before Irv got so sick. Thankfully, Mt. Bachelor was good enough to allow us to use them next year instead. That is $1100 saved. Kuddos to them.

I am grateful to be finally on the road to another opinion for Irv. Even if Dr. Gluck just corroborates what we have already been told will be welcome. At least we know that Irv is receiving the correct treatments for his aliments.

Thanks to all of your for your tremendous support. Let's all hope for an uneventful period until Irv is seen in Seattle.

Penny
