Christine,
My eldest, Julia, was born at 27 5/7 weeks, and she was only intubated for 12 hours. She had (and has had) no respiratory, heart, or lung disorders, in fact, she was only sick with the sniffles once before she went to school at 3.
She received synagis for 2 fall/winter cycles. Don't accept that "she is healthy now" bull-tickey, your daughter is still a 25 weeker w/ a compromised immune system. Julia's doctor fought for her to get it 2 years, and tried to get it for her a third year, but she really had outgrown the serum by then.

My name is Christine and my daughter, Audrey, was born on April 24, 2005 at 25 weeks. She spent 97 days in the NICU and is doing incredibly well. She was only on the ventilator for 10 days and is just about walking. (Her corrected date of birth is August 6.) She received the synergis shots last year without any problem however, at her 15 month check up her pediatrician indicated that she would probably be denied since she is healthy. I know I should be happy that she is healthy, has had no respiratory issues or chronic lung disease but I feel that she should be entitled to the shot for at least one more year to be on the safe side.Is there anyone out there who has run into this problem who could offer some suggestions or advice on how to proceed with the insurance company to get the approval for the shots? My pediatrician is going to try to get her approved but he is not very encouraging.Thanks.
