The hospital bag....
I am at the hospital all day today, Jimmy is having his Neuropsychological assessment done, it usually lasts all day long. I am supposed to stick around in the hospital, it is going to be a long boring day. There is surprisingly little to do around here, I am prepared: I brought my "hospital bag" It is a bag full of stuff I may need at the hospital: snacks, a book or two, activities for me and Jimmy to do . I used to have a change of clothes in there just in case they kept Jimmy unexpectedly overnight. I don't have the clothes in there anymore, Jimmy is not "in treatment" so there is little chance of him being kept overnight. I pretty much keep my "hospital bag" packed all the time. I guess it is a remnant of the uncertain times when I never knew what the future would bring. It is just one more reminder that in the back of my mind things will never quite be "normal" for me again.

Melody,
Thank you for posting. I started reading your blog through Marty's, and after a while, started going to yours first. Good luck with Jimmy, I can't imagine what's it's like, I only know what I go through with my 8 year old every day. We have therapy 2x a week, and I used to have a therapy bag that would have what he needed for that hour, and something for me, if I wasn't watching or talking to other moms.
By the way, thanks for all the photos, your boys are absolutely adorable! Watching them over the years, and hearing all the adventure stories, I can say you've done a great job with them.
Now, can you get Marty to post again? It was fun for a while to get both sides of the same story. I know he's busy, but so are you, and you manage to get something out!
Thanks for the blog...
