I only have a minute. Gavin has been admitted to Akron Children’s Hospital. I left to get some things from home. I didn’t make it home because the transmission went out on our brand new van.
We are just outside of warranty.
I don‘t know what is going to happen now but I know that we won’t have a car for the foreseeable future. I also don‘t know what this is going to cost….
All I know is that we just keep getting kicked while we’re down. With all the history we had with the previous van before it was stolen I’m ready to give up. We just can’t win for trying.
I had to tell Lizze that I wouldn’t be able to get back up to them today and why. She just broke down and cried on the other end of the phone. Her mom is going to pick up their things and take them to the hospital.
I also had to cancel the extremely important appointment tomorrow at the Cleveland Clinic.
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as I don‘t know how we are going to pull through this one.

I'm so sorry this is all happening to you guys. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Oh, Lost and Tired family, my heart aches for you. Why is it that the universe likes to dump on those who are already struggling?? Makes you feel like standing in the street yelling "I get it! I'm not supposed to be happy! You can stop kicking me now!"
It might be worth writing to the head office of the vehicle manufacturer, and complaining about the problems you've had with this NEW vehicle, and explaining exactly WHY this is such a problem for your already burdened family. I bet you would come off as VERY sympathetic in the news media and sometimes, that knowledge is enough for companies to decide they will make things right for their customers when the warranty has lapsed. And check online for recalls that might affect the transmission. You know. In all your "spare" time…
Rob, I am so sorry to hear about all of this. Let me know what I can do. Please feel free to contact me by email.
Blessings,
Rachel
