Getting back to school will be a problem, unfortunately.

He'll need a car to get to town, so he can catch the bus to the school which is in a bigger city. Voc rehab was talking about buying him a car, but now they've back off of that. They said they'd get him a bus pass, but it would be useless. The bus doesn't come within 15 miles of our house.

And he owes $1800 to the school from the last semester he went - fall 2009. He flipped out that semester, withdrew from school, and ended up hospitalized after a suicide attempt. We've asked them to forgive at least part of that debt but haven't heard back from them yet.

He's saved a bit of money. He might be able to buy a very cheap car. He might be able to pay off the $1800 within the next month or two. But he can't afford to do both. And both of those things need to happen to get him into school.

So there are still obstacles to getting back to school.
