And anything else...

My Step Mum has just this minute had a car accident and had her car written off. Worse still she's classed disabled to can't physically drive an other car than her own. It's only two weeks before we go and now we're all hoping that the whiplash she suffered will subside. We've all been joking that we'll stick her in a wheel chair (she's only 37 and refuses to use one lol) and get on more rides (though we've got fastpasses of ebay) and that she'll do anything to GET OUT of riding anything (she's petrified of casey jr!)

But I just ask you to spare a fault for her. She won't be going back to work will we're back now as she can't get there. The other car was a company car and they are suing them for loss of earning and compensation.

What with that and the Chicken Pox scare I'm just waiting to see what's next.......actually I already know that, as my dear aunt was rushed into hospital for an emergency op today and we're on tender hooks where she'll cope as she said she's fed up with being ill and divided the will. Not good!


UPDATE :
Had to take DS (Callum) for an emergency appointment at the Dr.....it seems that the childhood asthma he grew out of three years ago was actually just laying dormant. He has had a bad cough so I got him checked for safety. The cough turned out to be bronchitis and that was a complication of his asthma! While doing a peak flow test he only reached 200, and someone of his height and age should be reaching 400! So it's back on high steroids and relievers plus antibiotics for the foreseeable future. We have a medical note now as he's being classed as disabled (to go nicely alongside Dad, Step Mum and DD) so he is able to get a pass to avoid the ques (he's very short of breath and the Dr said the heat could trigger him off). Weird thing is though he's still allowed to go to BBWWS as the preventer would have kicked in by then and as the Dr had been himself he said Callum should be fine!

So that will be Letty (DSM) in a wheelchair (but this is the extreme as she refuses to even think about it) Eowyn (DD) falling asleep with her sleep disorder, Callum coughing and splattering, Dad not able to go on the big rides as wait for it.....he's got a hernia that decided to surface right now..... and me running, queing, laughing, dancing, eating, "wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeing" and generally making sure I have enough fun for everyone :lmao:

BUT we are all thinking positive, nothing will spoil our holiday and we have the best time :woohoo:

Dad phoned about an hour ago and said my aunt was talking and was a high as a kite on meds :rotfl2: Letty has found a company to supply her with a car :thumbsup2 And Callum is sleeping for the first time properly in weeks:woohoo: Things are looking up!

Dad also said that he really wants us all to have a great time and that he promises he won't be grumpy because apparently, I'm banned from wearing makeup so he can laugh at how dreadful I'll look :scared1:

The kids spoke to him and he made Eowyn laugh. He told her that Belle and Prince Charming were waiting for her and he was going to whisk her away on a magic train. Oblivious he was trying to hint that were we're going soon she said "Grandad, you know Prince Charming isn't Belle's Prince. You need to read more" He is trying! He did however impress her with knowing Ariel, Snow White, Aurora (gosh not Sleeping Beauty) and that he'd "spoken" to Belle.

I really am looking forward to this trip more than anything. DLP is so near to me but we just can't afford to do it very often. Things will be different next year with the WDW trip in the pipeline, but only if Dad learns the rest of the characters!

:grouphug: I admire your upbeat spirit with everything going on. I pray all goes well for you and your family.

We have had a tough time as well and may just have to cancel our trip next week depending on what the doctor's say as my DD 11 just broke her leg completly through the bone and is in a cast from toe to hip.:scared1: DS 16 almost 17 hasn't had a seizure in 7 weeks but feels weird today so I am closely watching him and honestly don't know if I can manage the stress of both the kids and DLP crowds and smoking. Plus if it is hot....I just don't know even if the doctor clears her how she can get on BTM and she can't swim- her summer vacation just ended poor girl. It takes 2 of us to take her to the bathroom...I don't know if we can manage to make the best of it. We won't even now for sure if they'll clear her to go till Friday (We are supposed to be there Sunday)

Just a word of warning. Anyone who sufferes from Asthma & goes to BBWWS & states this have to sign a disclaimer. My firend had to when we went. It doesn't take long to fill in the form.

Hope your DS feels better soon.

I think it is, we were given seats right at the back face on so can't complain
