The first calendar is done! My co-workers created this for Christopher. We began explaining to him what is happening. We don't know how much he understands, but he did say Mickey and Disney World! We have not heard from our Dream Coordinator about the Pirates League yet, but are still hopeful! I hope everyone is enjoying their Football weekend!

That is so awesome that you started explaining things and he is responding back Mickey and Disney World!! He must be excited too!!

I totally know what you mean about the DIS feeling like one big family!! I feel the same too and I am glad that I got share my wish trip and now I share in the joy of others!!!

Thanks for sharing your family and trip with us!!

Oh by the way I noticed that you post using a tablet. I think this might be why you have trouble getting the smilies like the pixie dust to work. I could be wrong, but it seems like post works better for me from my laptop!!

I hope that helps!!!

Happy Count downing!!!

She is a very sweet lady! The kindness is amazing. Most of the people who worked on the calendar have never even met Christopher! I Am humbled beyond belief!

We got our official approval letter a month or so ago! Our trip is scheduled for the week after Thanksgiving. The littles are so excited and have been asking to go to Disney every day since we met with our son's wish granters. Since he isn't communicative, we tell him about the trip and all the things he'll get to do and he smiles, so I'm really excited to see how he'll react once we're there. I'm just nervous about flying with him and all of his STUFF.

SO exciting to get that official approval!
The Disney magic on these kids' faces is beyond words. We were able to take a 2 day trip (not wish related) this past winter and my 4 year old (the one with all the health issues) absolutely LIVED those two days - i can't even put it into words. I'm so excited to see/read more about the trip! That seems like an awesome time of the year to go!

As for flying with all the attachments - just plan plenty of time for TSA. We flew with TPN fluids running into her IV, drainage bags, urine foley bags, oxygen concentrator, and then all the "emergency" bags for each body system plus the extra stuff you need to entertain a kid and changes of clothes. (My husband drove with my other three since we couldn't afford airfare). I had a friend come with to the airport and they gave her a "medical assistant' card to help me get to the gateway with all of this stuff. Not sure if that would be feasible in your case, but with two other littles underfoot - you'd likely have your husband focused on them, you focused on your son, and can see if a friend or family member can come to the airport as an assistant with all the medical stuff. TSA ended up shutting down our lane except for just us so we didn't feel any pressure. They checked every single bag, and tested some of the fluids. I had letters from every doctor detailing what was running/what fluids were what/and why she needed all of that. I think they just glanced to be sure it was on letterhead and that was that.

That's not to say it wasn't without stress - but it definitely wasn't the MAJOR ordeal that I was prepared for it to be! (we live in chicago - TSA on a good day with just my own healthy self is a nightmare - oddly enough they had their act together for my kid with all the TSA no-no's, go figure.)


Let me know if I can answer any other questions!
