Get well soon,

, I really appreciate the kind thoughts. 
I have been up since 4 am PST coughing, blowing my nose, etc...trying not to wake my husband up. This one is reaallly scary for me. Other people got mildly ill on the trip, but my immunity must have been waaaay down. 
I just took 3 meds and just waiting for them to kick in. 
Have a fun time on your cruise! 
I would cancel the Sea World and Knotts Berry Farm, save your money there and take the boys to "Six Flags Magic Mountain". Here's the website:9 Days. While I could be quite happy doing nothing but Disney, my guys want to see some other things as well.
We were there during the summer, and it took us an hour to get in. You have to buy a 2 day pass, get fingerprinted so you can't "sell" the ticket to someone else, then upon entering the park, you need to re-scan your finger and simutaneously have your ticket scanned so they match. They might enjoy walking Melrose Avenue, there are some quirky stores you might find intersting, but remember, you must put in for some pixie dust time! 
I'm so glad everything went well! She is such a cutie! I can be your "happy drunk sidekick"...Hi Friends.
Lilly did just great yesterday!! She came through the surgery fine....it was the coming down of the anestesia (SP??) that was a problem. She is such a little pistol....she did NOT like having an IV in her hand at all. She was trying to pull it out, screaming, and hitting all the nurses. It was embarrassing and heart-wrenching at the same time. She has a small wrap around her right hand and a few stitches. The wrap stays on for a few more days and stitches for a couple of weeks. Something funny though, she was given a "cocktail" before taking her back into surgery, and she was hilarious. She was smiling at the ceiling, babbling, and laughing. It was cute to watch. If Lilly ever chooses to drink in her future....when she is oh, let's see, 35, I know she will be a "happy drunk"!!! Just like her mommy.
Thanks for all the support, prayers, thoughts, and personal stories. They helped a lot. Can't wait to meet everyone!! By the way, I will post some pics from yesterday's "cocktail time"!!!
Kelly, Jim, and Lilly
....I'm usually the fly on the wall with a happy grin. 
Or I can be the official "DDW"...Designated Dis/Disney Walker...
I would be really upset if one of my kids would lose one of the $250.00 phones though...
Ebay is your BFF in a situation like this. And the beauty of it is that you can get a much better idea of how well the Wave phone works before you sail!I absolutely agree!
I think this is a really cool idea. Of course, I already bought not one but TWO different sets of radios that I am unable to return at this point so it figures...
Ok Ian, it has been like 6 whold days and you still did not tell us who makes the Butter Toffee. You realize I am not sleeping nights until I know this...
We have a spare set of walkie-talkies, just in case...I absolutely agree!

We love E-bay and Craigslist!Ebay is your BFF in a situation like this. And the beauty of it is that you can get a much better idea of how well the Wave phone works before you sail!
Thanks for all the hard work, and have a safe trip!Wow, I can finally keep up with the posts. I see things have slowed down a bit on here. We are still ahead of last years pace.
Thanks Terri,you're so sweet!
I'm feeling much better, I think the Sudafed (the one where you have to sign your life away 
) and the guiafsen syrup with 'pain med' 
is helping very much. I was getting 
from all the coughing. I haven't felt this sick in a long time. Usually I get sick for one day then I'm done. Apparently, there are about 6 other people who are sick at work. I'm not taking any chances on the cruise! I'm taking the whole pharmacy with me!!!
