Oh, I've had such a great and long weekend. My brother got married this weekend in Michigan. It was a goregous wedding, outside reception, and so much fun.
We had a great time, everyone looked goregous, and things went perfect. Good food, good drinks, lots of great company from family and friends.
Oh yea - my minivan died...it wouldn't start after the rehersal dinner (10:00 at night)...we got it jumped by AAA after a failed attempt from jumping with my father's car. Luckily, the resort we were staying at was the reception locale. So, when the car wouldn't start when it was time to go to the church...we left it, hopped into my parent's second car they drove up, and had our minivan towed during the reception. I went back to Michigan Monday night after the dealership replaced the battery. My wonderful mother took the trip with me.
Thank goodness it is only an hour and a half to drive from Illinois, through Indiana, to get to Michigan, on the other side of our Great Lake.
Anyway...Friday was the best day on the eldest advocacy front EVER.
I got ANOTHER call from Dr. Wonderful Dentist's secretary. YES! ANOTHER CALL! I was honestly surprised she called so soon, after she had so many questions on where we left off.
Bottom line: Dr. Wonderful wants to see the eldest every 3 months, in preparation for Dr. Genius Geneticist and to monitor the eldest's teeth. We have an appointment for October 15 at 2:00 pm.
...
1 HOUR later on Friday, I received a call from the Developmental Pediatrician who I called during my tearful day a month back. They reviewed our intake form, and want to setup an appointment. GREAT! October 15 at 10:15 am.
Have I told you how LUCKY I am? Well, here is proof: 2 appointments, both downtown in the city, both the same day. It will be good. We can go as a family of three to the first appointment, go out to lunch, maybe visit Lincoln Park Zoo, and head to Dr. Wonderful Dentist. Holy Cow - this should work out great!
Two steps back with lots of tears...and never giving up, gets us one hopeful step forward. Always having faith does get us somewhere. At least the promise of getting somewhere is there.
Hope is what drives all things forward.
