Luke was notified by Blue Cross that the requests submitted by his doctor and his physical therapist for him to get the C-Leg, the microprocessor controlled prosthetic has been denied. They feel that he is still in the healing process and that he should get a standard prosthetic leg. They said that he can apply again in 6 months for the C-Leg.
This is a big disappointment, but at least the door is still cracked for the future. At this point he is eager to get the standard leg so that he can get up and about. Otherwise he is doing well. We are hoping that things will move along in this new direction and he will have the prosthetic in order to come to Meadville in August.
