Belinda, Ben and I went to Alva today to do more things for Belinda’s upcoming college year. We went to all of her classes, just to let her see where they were. We also did some things at the financial aid office and the housing office. Everyone is always so nice and helpful.

We went to the student accommodations office to find out what we need to do to have Belinda in an adjustable bed in the dorms. They said we needed a letter from her doctor. I emailed the clinic in DC and the lovely Jill sent that letter back to us super quick! The letter outlines how the adjustable bed is necessary for her health. They also added a paragraph for Belinda’s insurance, in an attempt to get the insurance to pay for or help pay for the bed. I need to contact them soon and cross our fingers!

I’m going to miss her so much when she’s in Alva, but knowing we’ve taken care of everything ahead of time makes me feel better. More things will come up, of course, but I’m hoping this helps her to focus on schoolwork and on having fun!
