Yeah! I found the new thread.... I've been reading and really need to get my game on to get our family ready for this Wish Trip. 3 months 12 days, and counting! Abbie is the tiniest soon-to-be-seven year old and I hope she's tall enough to ride rides! Emma is 10 and loves to go from ride to ride, so I'm sure it will be a busy trip. Part of Abbie's wish is to meet Cinderella and be in a parade... I wonder if that will happen? Getting so excited!!! Where do I even begin?????

YAY Kellie! Welcome back! I'm excited to have you guys over to look at our wish trip photos on Saturday. At the rate I am going with my trip report you will be the first to see the pics...aren't Ya'll jealous..HEE HEE
I had the most brilliant idea to share with everyone who is going soon. I was at Target yesterday and they still had some advent calendars left. Nick and Noah this year didn't have chocolate calendars since I splurged and bought them Lego advent ones.
So... we are counting backwards to our MAW dates.. sort of like Christmas all over again! I thought it was a pretty cute way to count down the days.
If you would like postcards sent to your wish kids and their sibs during January, please PM me their names, ages and snail mail addy's as well as anything else that might be helpful to personalize the card - (like when they are going or when they went, etc.) I leave January 5th.
Anyone at GKTW 1/11 or 1/12, 1/17 or 1/18? Those are the days I'll be working there and love to meet you and your kids.
What a cute idea. I bet the kids are loving that!I had the most brilliant idea to share with everyone who is going soon. I was at Target yesterday and they still had some advent calendars left.

I've been praying for their families too!Prayers for Noah - the last blog post seemed a wee tad positive, thank goodness. Prayers also for Amber and her family during this difficult week.

Okay.. airline question.. Nick uses a booster seat, just a cheap, plain ol' booster seat that we bought at menards.
I talked to MAW and they said that if we want him to use it in the Limo and in the rental car, we need to bring it with us... will he also then use it on the plane? or can we check it? Do they have requirements for that? This does seem like a huge hassle. It is a high back booster, should we just forget about it? I don't even know what the laws are in FL for kids and boosters.
Have you already tried this one?

I don't know anything about them. They were on the disABILITIES page (buried in a thread). I would be curious to know if they could help.
I know it is harder to raise money for adult wishes...so a lot of those foundations do less for the wish and have a harder time granting them all.
This one does mention "life limiting"...so maybe it is not a terminal only foundation?
And I thought MS was terminal? Eventually? I am not educated on that one!
I hope it works out for you guys!!! And please keep us posted!!
I wish there was a place that would help adults wishes come true as well. My best friends has MS & in a wheelchair. She is raising her 15 year old daughter, she works a full time job, she is also putting her daughter through a Christain school (by the grace of GOD)! She is a wonderful hard working, caring, loving freind who is always there for me.
Anyway DH & I are going on a family trip to WDW/DCL and this is my friends dream so we invited & she put down her deposit for her and her daughter. So now its only 10 months away and its hard for her to finish paying off the trip plus getting passports. She is determined to do this.
I have tried differnt place to see about getting a wish for her and guess what everyone has told me. Because she is not terminal they can not do anything. That makes me so made. She may not be terminal, but darn she can not eat with a metal fork, spoon. She can not cut her own food. She can not pick up a cup. . I just pray that someday soon I will come across a wish foundation that would help my best friend out. She is an amazing woman and she does not let her handicap stop her.
Hey guys...
I have a prayer request. William has been having some blackouts? Where his eyes go black for a few seconds at a time. This coupled with the headaches and nausea he has had for months has everyone worried. He went to the doctor today and they are admitting him right now to the hospital.
Please pray for William...and for his family!
Thank you guys so much!!!!!!!
