You will not believe this...

I have a cousin who is pregnant with her 3rd child and is due late Feb. She is only 24 years old and seems to have really bad luck. This story is real and is proof of her odd luck. She was sitting in her house Thursday evening. She looked up and saw a bat, yes a bat, in her house. Somehow they managed to get it out. The next day she phoned the pediatrician to see if there was anything else that needed to be done. They wanted to know how long the bat had been in her house. She told them she had no idea. They informed her that she would need to take rabies shots (all 4 of them). They went on to tell her a bat could bite you during the night and you would have no idea. Can you believe that! How could I be bit by a mosquito and feel it but not a bat? Anyway, she had to wait for the shots to come in. She went today thinking she would have to pay co-pays. Even the co-pays were going to run $600 because of the amount of shots they were going to have to take. However, the company would only ship it to the pharmacy and so insurance is saying they will not pay. Today they had to pay $1700. That is for one time and they have several more. The thing is they have to have these shots because a bat bite can kill you in a matter of weeks. Please pray for them. They did not have the money today and a family member had to pay. I do not know what is going to happen! Her name is Amy. She has struggled a lot, and at times it has shaken her faith!
