Hi folks,

I am going to need to be away for a while.

My other retina has detached and I will be in surgery at noon tomorrow.

If you have any questions regarding your reservation, which hopefully will be booked soon, please write to Reservations@DreamsUnlimitedTravel.com.

I'll be back.

Good wishes and pixie dust coming your way.

Sorry to hear that Kevin. Hopefully this will have fewer false starts and bumps in the road to recovery.

Tracey just gave me the news, sorry to hear that Kevin. Please take care of yourself.....I know John will. Best of luck and pixie dust.

Take care Kevin.

Kevin,
I am sorry to hear about your eye. I know how hard it was for you to be out of commission in the past with your last surgery. You are in our thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. Good luck tomorrow!

John,
We know Kevin's in good hands. Y'all complement each other well. You will also be in our prayers to have patience and be a support to Kevin in his time of need.

Oh Kevin. I'm so sorry. I was worried when you mentioned in the podcast that you were having eye problems again. It just doesn't seem fair.

I will be praying and thinking good thoughts.

In the meantime, don't worry about us. It was sweet that you came to tell our little band of adventurers what was going on personally, but I'm sure we will be well taken care of by anyone at Dreams who may need to step in.

Love to you and John.

Dodie (and Phillip too)

Glad to hear so many fellow ABD Travelers will be at DAP. I have a question, if we changed our first week of December WDW stay to dates closer to the DAP, which week should we do????

December 6 - 13

or

December 12 - 19

Thank you in advance with any suggestions. We're not 100% sure we can swing it. We'll see ...

Jennifer

Crowds will be MUCH better

I am very jealous!! Would love to go to DAP....... durn, I better go buy lottery tickets!

I am very sorry this happened again - but grateful that you have recognized the systems and are recieving treatment.

I dunno if it helps at all, but I have been talking with doctors during this past week about my daughter's eye, as she seems to have an problem area in her eye causing concern that the docs suspect may be the start of a detachment. (She's 14, a competitive athlete, and near-sighted). While we have not yet had to face surgery (we are waiting and seeing for 2 more months), the doctors have great confidence in the success of these surgeries and speak of complications as very very rare. And just the law of averages indicates that you are due for a trouble-free surgery this time!

We will keep you in our prayers and hope that this time tomorrow you will be home feeling well!

 

[katscradle]

Are any of you going to DAP?

Bill and I listened to the Podcast last night. When I heard about the TSM event, I gave Bill the "puppy dog eyes". I want to go!!!! Currently, we depart WDW on December 4th. We miss it by one week. Argggggh! I'm trying to work on him to get us there that weekend. We would probably have to drive through the night and arrive sometime Saturday morning. Please help me convince Bill to attend.

Jennifer

I think that several of us are going to DAP. In addition to Kim and Anna (above) I'll go ahead and speak for...

John and Katherine (3guysandagal and katscradle)
Kathy (kab407)
Tonya2426
Me (Dodie - duh)

Bill change the date for your trip so that you guy's can be there with us...
Dodie is right look how many of us are going to be there.
It would be so cool to do a pre-meet at DAP.

Come on you know you want to!!!!

Kevin, don't you worry about us. You worry about yourself. Take care of yourself and we will see you back here when you are better. Take care and get better soon.

Oh Kevin, I just saw your post. I'm hopeful that all goes well for you. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers today and through-out your recovery. I'm sure John will take very good care of you...

 

[TheTXTaylors5]

I was so relieved to see Pete's post on the other thread regarding Kevin ...

Just talked to John ... Kevin just came out of surgery - so far, everything looks good. He'll be under anesthesia for another hour or so. Keep your prayers and good thoughts coming.

Thanks,
Pete

I thought y'all would want to know. It sounds like Kevin is going to have another lengthy rehab like last time. He will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers for a full recovery.

Jennifer (& Family)

 

[TheTXTaylors5]

FYI - This was posted by John on another thread on 8/14 ...

Hey Gang

We are finally home from surgery - this was a long day indeed.

The doctor seems to think it went well and his retina will attach normally. We will know more when we see him tomorrow.

Now comes the worst part - recovery.

I'm not sure if Kevin mentioned this is in his post but this is the other eye - so that makes to detached retinas on two eyes. He doesn't see well out of the first one so he is not going to be able to do much for a long time.

Thanks for all your prayers and pixie dust. They are appreciated and I know affective. Keep 'em coming - we'll need more for the recovery period.

John
