I hope its something that will please you. Is she ok ?

That's a good question -- I'm at a bit of a loss right now on all of it. She FINALLY got someone up there to pay attention to stuff and got the follow up MRI she was supposed to get in August (apparently the doctor that saw her at the time of the injury stated it several times but did not note it in the right way on her paperwork, so it took her making enough noise that they got the doctor at Ft. Knox on the phone and he confirmed she needed a follow up scan so it FINALLY got ordered) -- the doctor she is seeing now read that scan and disagrees completely with how things were read the first time - some spots that were written off as developmental by the first doctor this doctor says are traumatic so rather than "normal" they are abnormal and signs that the injury was more severe than they made it out to be to begin with. She is taking a semester off of school now per the new doctor's orders (which took coordination with ROTC and the school to secure her financial aid and scholarship to be held for her) and, from the sounds of it, should have been doing so from the start which would have allowed her a better recovery to this point......she may or may not need supportive therapies (physical/occupational) to help things once she is done with this rest period. Basically, it is sounding a lot like it was COMPLETELY mishandled to this point. On the one hand I am glad that she is now under care of someone taking things seriously, but on the other I am worried that it may be too little/too late as far as the potential for a good recovery and back to worrying about what this might mean for her entire future wise as far as being able to follow through on the whole vet school/ARMY/etc plan............and I'm furious.
On the upside, turns out her BF's mom is an attorney that somehow specializes in education law and she has already been able to help DD in navigating some of the stuff that has happened so far in getting things secured finance wise in being able to take the semester off, etc..........giving her who she needs to meet with, what she specifically needs to request, things NOT to agree to/sign, etc.
 
are you ignoring me again ? LOL

No, sorry, lol. I haven't left yet - trying to get DS to decide if he's going or not, motivating a teen age boy to get going on a weekend is not always easy. I'll be heading out soon one way or another and will gladly snag you a bag of corn - anything else you need? Afraid it'll be a quick trip, have to get back home and get some stuff squared away if DH and I are going out tonight - or would you rather I swing out that way tomorrow?
