Found out yesterday that my minivan died! Oh No!!! It won’t turn over, we thought it was a dead battery, put in a brand new battery and everything turns on, radio, lights, etc even though the key isn’t in the ignition! We tried to turn it over and nothing! It died while we were driving it. Dean Mast said that we would have to take it to Ford and the low end would be around $700. Something about a grounded out modulator and it’s telling everything to turn on even though nothing is turned on. Not worth it, so we traded it in for another minivan.

Chuck knows a guy in town that sells cars, the sell here pay here type. Our credit is so bad we can’t buy anywhere else, we have to buy one from there or pay cash. With this minivan, everything works!!! All the windows come down, the doors all open even the back hatch! You can open the doors from the inside and the air conditioner works!! It’s a 2000 and we got it for $1,500. Fred, the car salesman, took my minivan in and gave us $300 for it as down payment. I HATE having a car payment but I HAVE to have a vehicle.

Today CJ has therapy at 11am and then I am taking him into Cleveland to spend the day with a friend he met at camp a couple years ago. Tomorrow he is off to Waldameer with another friend. It’s best to keep him as busy as possible then he has less time to think. I have noticed by doing that he’s a bit better and not so droopy.
