Healthy vibes your way. You will arrive at the tail end of our wish trip. I'm also waiting for the ball to drop w/ someone getting sick right before the trip, esp. DD. She also has ALL. UHHH the worries never end.
Like your Mickey shirts! Happy planning and packing
Thank you so much! So far, today has been a much better day with AJ. He seems to be on the upward climb of this cough stuff, I even canceled his appointment! Yay!!!
Anyways, Ty should be home from school soon and we shall see how he's feeling.
We've gone to
Disneyland just about every 6 months since Ty was 2. We had his second birthday there. This years been funky..we haven't been since Aug 2009 and Ty is feeling the "disney itch". Every year we talk about DW and how we would love to take the kids there but money has always been an issue with this. We can definitely do DL on a budget since we drive...use hotwire...get our tickets through AAA. The reason we've never done DW before is because airline tickets put a huge damper on funds. We've done DL for 3 days, driving and staying off site for about $900, gas and food included. This trip that Ty's been given is such a once in a lifetime blessing. He's been watching ride videos on youtube and helping make our plan of action. Every night he pulls one of his paper chains off his wall. He's too excited!
So, if he does get sick and we have to postpone his trip, he will be crushed. So, the vibes are working! So far so good.
There is another special reason this trip will mean so much to him. The night we took Ty to the ER and got the ALL diagnosis, my MIL was in the ER too for breathing problems. We had all spent a very special Saturday together (2 days prior to our lives being turned upside down) touring museums in Sacramento. Everything seemed to be okay except for the fact that Ty kept having stomach cramps and was unusually tired. So, for both Ty and MIL to land in the ER on the same night was bizarre. My poor DH was running back and forth between rooms the whole night and when he broke the news to his mom, she panicked. His sister had Lymphoma as a child so she's already been down this road. Anyways, we got transported to a larger hospital in Sac and she stayed behind in our little hospital up here. In the ER, her oxygen level was low but everything else was clear. The next day DH was on the phone with her nurse and he found out that her lung had collapsed and she had pneumonia in the other lung. They decided to sedate her so she could heal without her body fighting it. Long story short, she went to sleep and never woke up. They tried for 3 weeks to repair the damage but in the end, someone needed her in Heaven. This was a huge blow to Ty, he was very close to his GM. We had done DL with her several times and DS was always the focus of our trips. Our last trip was with her and in our hearts, Ty's GM will be with him this time too. She is his guardian angel
, we are sure of that! I've been reminiscing a lot today about her. She was a wonderful lady that is missed so so much.
Sorry for that, just felt like I needed to give credit to one of the greatest ladies I've ever known. She is the reason why Ty is doing so great in treatment and maybe she'll help Ty stay healthy so he can go on his very special trip.
Thank you Grandma Sharon. We miss you everyday.
