No matter how I figure it, staying in a hotel is going to break us. It will cost more than $1,000 for a hotel during his treatments, IF we get the hospital rate, IF the weather holds, IF he feels good enough to travel, and IF my car holds out. That thousand dollars is right off the top, before gas, food, rent, utilities, and all the other things that have to be paid, all while I am not working.
I just HAD to call the Hope Lodge, to see if there was ANY way he could get in. Even if it was only for a week or two, that would be better than nothing.
So I got on the phone and called them. Treatments start tomorrow and we just can't wait any longer. The not knowing is killing me. When I called, they were very kind, got me right to the person I needed. I tried to act casual, as if it was no big deal, instead of desperate like I felt. I asked what the status was on Justin getting to stay there, and how long was the waiting list, just in case?
She was so friendly, and acted surprised that I didn't already know. She told me he was in, there was a room waiting for him, ready now.
WHAT?!!! He's in?!!! Now?!!! Wow. I kept thanking her over and over and she just laughed. I told her there was a snowstorm coming overnight and she said it was OK to come today, a day early. The room was ready for both of us.
Praise God! He had everything planned and in place before we even knew we needed it.
So we are done packing and ready for our adventure, minus the hotel. Yes!
