New Day, New Truck

We signed all the papers on Ron's NEW truck this morning. He had a very busy week this week at work since he was gone on Monday, so I have been making the rounds to the car lots after school seeing who had reasonable options. I found a couple and then Ron would go test drive them after work.
We ended up with a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT with 32,000 miles on it. To tell you the truth it looks like some little old man has one big toy and took very good care of it. It's in perfect condition and has everything on it. It's a 4 door king cab, it's huge and we even got in the garage tonight. That's a big deal since it is at least 3feet longer than the Explorer. It's is a pretty truck and actually can serve as a second family vehicle. Mollie is in love with it because it goes vrooooooooooom, vrooooooooooom when you pull out! She says that when she is old enough to drive she wants a truck. Of course she will need one for the horses she thinks she will be hauling around by then!
It's nice to have one part of this mess finished. We sent Ron's scans on to St. Louis this last week and hope to talk to our Dr. sometime this coming week. We may be making a trip to St. Louis sometime soon depending on what he says. Ron and I know so much about the road we are headed down. It is both a blessing and a curse. We know where the best doctors and hospitals are, but I know what it feels like. Ron has watched me go through all of it, and I hate the idea of him having to learn first hand. Ron wont make any decisions on what he wants until after we talk to Dr. Zipfel.
Right now we are taking it one day at a time, and putting one foot in front of the other to make ourselves keep moving. As I am writing Mollie is asleep in Ron's lap. It is a beautiful sight! She knows that Daddy was in a car accident, that his old truck is gone, that he hit his head, and that the doctors are taking care of him. We have not told her what they found in the process. Since Christmas she has been through both of her Great Grandmothers funerals and my surgery, so we have decided to wait until we know more.
