JQuery :: Accessing Variable Earlier In Page?

We have a web site provided by the software company that created our vacation rental management software, so, as such, I don't have entire control over the pages -- just bits and pieces. They recently started including jQuery 1.4.4 along with jqueryUI and cookie plugin on the pages and utilizing it a bit (as well as a custom jquery bit of code they wrote up). here's the relevant code (that I have control over):

HTML Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var phoneflat = $.util.getCampaignPhone('MCPH').replace(/[^0-9]/g, '');
if(phoneflat=="null"){var DNISPh='88812345678'}
else{var DNISPh=phoneflat}

[Code]....

Basically, we have a phone-number tracking system on our Web site, and the toll-free number on our site gets replaced depending on how the MCPH cookie is set. The above code pulls formatted number from that campaign cookie, removes the formatting from the number, and sets the pop-up URL to include the number, passing the number after the "?DNIS=" (which is required for this specific campaign tracking to work properly).

This all works fine and dandy if the jquery and cookie code is all before the above code snippet on the page, but the developers of the software are trying to follow best practices and are loading all the javascript files at the end of the page, and this is far earlier in the page. So there's really no way for me to pull that ".util.getCampaignPhone('MCPH')" as the cookie may not have been set yet, nor is the campaign data ready.
