Nick Colombo, Superhero
A LOT has happened since the protest. I have been working a lot, and a lot of things happened all at once, so it was real hard for me to keep up with all the news. But the end results are good. Nick has successfully completed five cyber knife treatments and he is supposed to come home this weekend.
But here is how the whole event played out.
First, Insurance kept denying the funds to get the cyber knife treatments in Kansas. My Aunt Patti went to the the CBS News Station for support to expose greedy and corrupt insurance companies. Nick's older brother, Ricky, held a rally to show the massive support for Nicholas. Insurance company caved in.
Second, with the TV and scandalous insurance exposure, Doctors from Southern California saw the reports and took Nick in the next day to start treatments because they saw his condition and said he NEEDED the treatments, regardless of the problems with the insurance company. Nick's case fell through the crack for medical treatment, and without the large public exposure, Nick's case would still be "lost."
So I saw Nick last night and he is doing real well. We all were laughing and joking and talking about all the food we are going to eat after he gets out of the hospital.
The next step for Nick is he is going to need physical therapy because he has been bed ridden for the last month.
So thank you for all those who have helped out! I owe you some pizza
