What???

Yesterday and today have been full of shocking news. None of it I can actually believe or process right now so it's just going to come out however it does. :P First of all - the Boston police found my car!!! It was stolen two weeks ago tomorrow and I was sure it was in a million pieces by now. I spoke to my insurance agent yesterday and he agreed it was probably a lost cause...and then my phone rang tonight! I don't know if the chair and medical supplies are still in it, but the police said the only damage they see is the passenger side rear window was broken which we knew from finding the glass where it was stolen from. No body damage and they said the ignition looked fine. I'm not sure how that's possible, but my life is pretty unbelievable right now. My insurance is going to tow it to their lot (right now it's in a secure police lot), inspect and repair it and then I'll have my wheels back!! I can't even believe it's true.

Little Man was here alone with me when the call came in and we both almost started crying. Little Man has always latched onto objects more than people, especially our cars. So when this one was stolen it was like having his arm ripped off. Finding out we're getting it back was the biggest relief to him.

Secondly, the neurology department from Children's Hospital Boston called me yesterday (Friday) and they want to see him Monday afternoon. I was in total shock again. You just don't get specialist appointments the next day (well, next business day) and they don't even have a problem accepting his out of state insurance. CHB is supposed to have one of the best neurology departments in the country. Perhaps we were incredibly lucky to be here when he had his latest seizure. When you have a child with numerous diagnoses and are in search of the overall cause, when you've been searching for years to the cause of all these issues, I'm almost afraid to hope too much for an answer...but yet...when they take an interest in him and want to follow up immediately...sometimes it's hard not to get your hopes up.

Our life seems to be quite bipolar, switching from really low lows to really high highs with no notice but I suppose that's what keeps us going. Welcome to the ride! :D
