Abby Girl's Wish Trip MAW/GTKW Pre Trip Report Feb 24 - March 2, 2011

I love seeing how happy the kids are with their big give gifts. :goodvibes I hope everything goes well today and get some answers for Tilear. :hug:
 
I feel like I have been gone forever. We had Tilear's testing on Thursday 2/10 morning. Of course we got no results then, they just said the dr. will have the report in 1 to 2 days. UGGGGGGGGG

Well Thurs. night around 11 pm the pain started up again, by 1 am it was intolerable:sad2:, so back to the er we went. After morphine and teredol, the pain was still terrible so then they gave him deloda (sp) and that finally subsided the pain:thumbsup2. The doctor looked at the reports, since we went to the same hosptial that we we had the testing done at, and it was confirmed he had gallstones. They admitted him around 6am on Friday morning and he went into surgery at 1:30 pm. He slept all afternoon yesterday until about 9pm, with pain level at about 5, so the iv pain meds still going. This morning they moved him to oral pain meds and had him up and walking. We came home around 1:30 today. He is doing ok, just in tolerable pain, but very sore.

I feel horrible that he has been in this pain for 2 weeks:sad2:, when they should have looked at this the first time. I guess it doesn't matter to them, that I even suggested that I thought it was the gallbladder at first, but hey, what does mom know, she doesn't have MD behind her name:mad::mad:.

Oh well, at least it is now out and he should be on his way to recovery. We go back in a week for a post-op check up and he should be cleared to travel for our trip.:thumbsup2

I just want to say thank you so much for all your prayers through this whole process.
 
I sorry he had such a rough time with it, but hope he heals up quickly!

Its to bad the doctors didn't listen to you....they should realize the mama's are always right when it comes to their babies!

hope you all can get some well deserve and needed rest tonight!

:hug::hug::hug::hug::hug:
 

So as many of you know the past few days have been rough here, however, there was some pixie dust sent our way through the BIG GIVE!!!!!:wizard::wizard: I can't thank this group enough for everything they have done for our family:hug:. It seems like in the weeks that major health issues come up and I feel I can't take much more, there is something special to come to lighten my day:goodvibes.

First up....An awsome Mickey T-shirt for Tilear. Thank you so much Angie (Diz-Mommy). Tilear loved the shirt and loved the Camo Mickey. He loves camo and this just was totally him:thumbsup2. He loved his name on it also.

I just want to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has given my family something to smile about when sometimes it is so difficult to smile. I love each and everyone of you.:grouphug:

I was the one who did the Donald shirt. You might've guessed that this was my first big give since I forgot to include my Disboard name and then I didn't think about checking back on the pretrip report. I'm so glad that she liked her shirt and I hope that you guys have a MAGICAL trip!:cheer2:
 
Soooo excited, Abby's MAW volunteers are coming tomorrow at 6 for her send off party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
We have new BIG GIVE pictures to post, however, with everything going on the past few days with Tilear's surgery and just getting home from the hospital, I haven't had a chance to post them:sad2:. I promise they will be posted within the next couple of days:goodvibes.
 
Yay on the new Big Gives, fun fun!! Can't wait to see pics. Yay on the send off party tomorrow, I hope you post pics from that too! Boo on Tilear having surgery, but I hope this means he is on the mend and feeling much better. Big :hug:!
 
hope everyone is feeling better today!
can't wait to see the new BigGives and your send off party pictures!
 
Woohoo for the party tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope it goes great! and I'm glad you got some Big Gives too.... what a day!
 
I can't wait to hear about your party and your big gives. I hope you all are having a wonderful day!
 
Last night we had Abby's send off party. It was wonderful, it is amazing everything MAW thinks of and does for wish families. Abby invited her Aunt and her best friend Reilly, however, her Aunt had the flu and could not make it:( We had pizza and drinks and a spongebob cake.

They were totally amazed at the countdown calander that my boss made for Abby and both wanted pictures with it;)

Her wish granters are so amazing and energized.

Here is Sharon, Abby and Lisa with her calander

Her MAW bear, it is so cute, she slept with it last night and I really am going to have a hard time putting it up

Here is where I got very teary, Abby had to sign an agreement with MAW. Sharon was reading the agreement to Abby and the tears started rolling, I kept thin

king I am so happy for her, yet here my baby qualified for a WISH, happy and sad all at the same time. It pretty much states, she will not think of doctors or hospitals and that she will have lots of fun.

This is a card Abby made for MAW that we all signed. Sharon and Lisa actually cried when she gave it to them.

The whole night was beautiful and very surreal. I really broke down after they left and things calmed down. I just got thinking of everything she has been through and goes through and for 1 week she can have the time of her life. Yes, we still have to be careful there, but we are POSITIVE, that there will be no breaks.:thumbsup2

This is her chance to be the kid that she has always wanted to be. She said to me "Mom I am so excited to go to GKTW because when I have my brace on and am in my wheelchair, no one will look at me like I am different there." That really got to me.
