We have settled into a routine here in St. Petersburg regarding the vasodilation treatment.  We started with the Nitrate paste Tuesday morning.  Dr. Hammesfahr first applied it to his arm and it is absorbed into the bloodstream/body within minutes.  We then returned in the early afternoon and the doctor applied another little dab to his leg.  Today was the same schedule with two applications.  Dr. Hammesfahr immediately thought his head control improved and that Drew's hands were more relaxed.  I am a little bit more skeptical considering I'm Drew's farty old mother.  It's hard to tell sometimes if Drew is having a good day or if we really are seeing improvement.  However, I definitely love hearing positive news!

Today, however, was an exciting day regarding our rented minivan.  We noticed when we first turned it on when we arrived on Sunday morning that there was a little exclamation point symbol on the dashboard lit up.  Well today my mother decided to look up what it meant in the owner's manuel and it was a little scary.  It stated brake system failure, stop driving, call dealership immediately.  So we had Mike call Hertz and they agreed to send us a new minivan right at our hotel and drive the old one back to the airport.  Well, Mom explained to me that the driver drove out here in a tow truck with the new minivan.  He explained for liability purposes, he was not allowed to drive the old minivan back to the airport.  He then proceeded to check out the old minivan and he said the tire light was also lit up on the dashboard, a possible nail in the tire?  To make a long story short, I am beyond pleased Mike handles our vehicles.  I usually just stand on the sidelines scratching my head, while Mike does all the work.
