Yesterday I was driving Amanda to meet with a mobility therapist for lunch at McDonald's. Now, if anyone has any experience with my girl they know Amanda ALWAYS has a cellphone with her. These phones never have a battery in them, but that doesn't keep them from being any less real in her world.
She was having a very important conversation in route to her meeting which went as follows:
"Yes, Yes, Yes, NO!!!!!, Yes, Ok, see you later." Then she hung up.
Amanda had her two hour session with the therapist and went home for the afternoon.
At 2:30 I received a call from Tina. Amanda's therapist still had her phone and was headed back to her house and hour away. We needed to go get that phone. The other dozen phones couldn't substitute, it had to be her latest phone. I was out the door in a flash.
Tina called the therapist who turned around and we met her about 20 minutes outside of town. She understands that this is not spoiling, but survival.
The therapist would have been back in town in just two days, but two days is a long time if you are dealing with a hostile enemy, even if they are small. Just ask the Mexican army at the Alamo. They lost about 4,000 troops in 48 hours.
