Be Careful When Tra La La La-ing Through Paris

[coteau_chick]

You need this. What a rough time you are having!

I hope everything turns out okay for all of you!

Keep us updated, okay? I'll be praying for y'all.

Thanks

My goodness! I am so sorry all of this is happening. I know I'm not right around the corner from you, but let me know if there is anything I can do. Thinking of you

PS- I really didn't mean to make that rhyme

You're a poet and didn't know it. Ha Ha!! Thanks for the moral support.

Wow! , and to you and your family!!! Prayers coming your way!

Thanks

Snakes are the one thing that completly makes me crazy!! Just reading the report made me freak out!! Sending prayers your way for Grace and Faron. Hope everything settles down for you and gets back to normal. Alisa

Thanks. I think we are heading back to normal.

When it rains, it pours.
I hope that Faron is doing better today. I will be praying for your family.

Thanks We need all the prayers we can get.

Laura!! Oh my goodness!
What was Faron doing when he got bit? Let us know how things are going when you get a chance!

Faron was moving a piece of tin he had in the yard. The snake was behind it and was heading toward Brennan. Faron reached down to grab the snake behind the head and it bit him. They watch too many animal planet snake shows to think that he can pick up a snake.
The doctor told us that after he left the hospital yesterday he killed a snake with his weed wacker when he was cleaning his yard. He said he thought of us. He said before they had anti-venom 20% of people died from snake bites.

 

[winkers]

We are home. The doctor let Faron come home because it doesn't look like he has an infection. He has some darkening of the skin on his hand where the venom killed the muscle tissue. We have to go to the surgeon's office next week so he can see how bad the damage is. I am praying that he won't have to have surgery. I am just glad to be home. Grace is looking much better today. I think we have turned the corner with her illness and things are looking much better for her. I am just tired. I dreamed about snakes all night.

I'm so glad things are better! It seems like it's never just one thing at a time, doesn't it!
I've been tempted at times to ask the Lord "anything else?", but I've learned that's not such a good idea.

Hope both Faron and Grace are improving. I assumed Faron found the snake in the tree pile you've talked about. He did keep Brennan from getting bit but he doesn't need to do anymore hero work!
I promised to let you know about my DH's trip report so here it goes. He's on the pre-trip tread---he's doing a trip report and pretrip report---going back may/june--all in one. It's Coach's 2 for 1--trip report/pretrip--all in one. I don't know how to post the link. Anyway he's Coach81 on the boards so maybe you'll find him. I totally understand your busy and may not get over there. Just wanted to let you know to check it out when things settle down. Everyone else is invited too!!!! Bye, Alisa

Day 2 continued
Epcot
We went to the bus stop after lunch and headed to Epcot. Grace fell asleep. She was sleeping when we arrived.
This is a rare treat for Faron. Grace likes to sleep in her bed and rarely falls asleep on us. He was eating this up.

We headed straight for Soarin to get fast passes. I hurried in the building and Faron waited outside with Grace and Brennan. It was about noon and as soon as I made it to the fast pass machine they were covering them up. No more fast passes for Soarin that day. Oh well. Grace was now awake so we headed to ride Nemo. She loves Nemo (Mo Mo). We had watched Finding Nemo four times on the trip here. She had also watched the nemo ride on you tube everyday for a few weeks before the trip. She loved it.

When we got off the ride I bought her a stuffed Nemo. She was giving me a kiss for it in this picture.

After Nemo we rode living with the land and Spaceship earth.
This was Grace's favorite part of Living with the Land.

Faron and Brennan rode Mission Space while Grace and I looked in Mouse Gears. I also called my mom while waiting. We walked through a couple of countries. I have a couple of pictures from Canada.

Grace and Brennan had fun watching this guy.

Brennan was ready for supper. We bought him and Grace some Mc Donalds chicken nuggets from the stand near Canada. I brought Brennan some small bottles of Dr. Pepper from home. We brought them into the parks everyday along with some bottles of water. I put them in a tote bag in the stroller. We would just get a cup of ice for him from the counter service places when we ordered food. Grace was throwing a full out temper tantrum when I was ordering the food. It got quite stressful and I snapped at Faron who was now not talking to me. Wonderful our first melt down. To top things off when Brennan opened his bottle of Dr. Pepper it sprayed all over the place. It got on me Grace and Brennan. Also all over Grace's new white sweater which she was now wearing because it was cold. I made up with Faron but I could tell he was still holding a grudge. Grace didn't eat much at all. Brennan ate all his food and most of hers.
We headed to Mexico and went to the counter service restaurant there. Grouchy Grace was now asleep in her stroller. We found a nice table by the water and I went order some food. Faron and I both got the nachos. They were sooooooooooooooooo good. The best nachos I ever had. Brennan wanted to go ride test track but I said we needed to get the heck out of Dodge. Grace was done. When we got back to the resort Faron gave Grace a breathing treatment. I washed Grace's sweater in the sink and Brennan and I went to the laundry room to dry it. Brennan got in the pool to swim while I waited for the sweater to dry. It was freezing. The pool was NOT heated like it was supposed to be. It was ice cold. He got out quick. We finished drying the sweater and we went to bed. It was a long day. I was praying Grace would behave better the next day.

So glad to hear Faron is better. What a random accident! But he's a good dad Those nachos at Mexico are so good. We get them every time we go. That and one of those tri-color margaritas!! Yum. Can't wait to hear more

Thanks he is still in pain. He went to work yesterday but had to come back home because he was hurting. He has to go to the surgeon next week. I am praying he doesn't have to have surgery. He looked at snakes online yesterday and he found the kind that bit him. It is a cotton mouth. Water mocosain. I know I spelled that wrong

 

[alboq]

Look out my DH's a teacher, he'll get out his red pen!!! Just kidding!! My spelling is awful, and its worse when I type! Oh,don't worry about my hubby because as our kids say "He's not a teacher he's a coach!!" We love that! He majored in science and our son will not ask him to help with science homework. DS11 is the one that started the whole "he's not a teacher" thing and now its a running joke in our house.
Hope Faron has a better day today! Bye, Alisa

One of my friends in school would correct notes we would write to her in class with her red pen. Guess what, she is a teacher now. Go figure. I typed that post before my second cup of coffee this morning.
Brennan would love your dh because he is a science loving kid. He watches animal planet and he is always talking our head off with facts he learns. He is also a very good baseball player. I think they would have something to talk about .

Welcome I am glad you joined us. Wow July 4th. I hope it is not too crowded.

Cotton Mouth? I hope he heals quickly and without surgery!

 

[Blueyed Girl]

I'm in!! Sorry I'm so late. Been having b-day parties and such. I am now the mommy of a 5 year old!! Where does the time go??


Love the start of the TR. So glad Brennan was surprised. I had tears just reading it. I also had tears about Courtney. Poor thing but you are right it was a lesson to learn. I laughed out loud about Grace riding your head in the middle of the night.


ok, off to read more.......

 

[Blueyed Girl]

Ok, I still have updates to read but I had to stop and post.....whooping cough, viruses, and a snake bite?? HOLY MOLY!!! I'm so glad things are starting to level out but boy have you been having a doozy of a time!!!

I busted out laughing at what Faron said about your driving.

 

[scottny]

OMG!!!

Glad they at least sent him him home so soon. Hope all goes well next week.

Great update and pics.

Sorry about Soarin'.

Pretty pic in Canada.

Welcome I am glad you joined us. Wow July 4th. I hope it is not too crowded.

lol...i have no doubt it will be too crowded, (still hoping with the economy many people will be staying home this summer . That is the only week i get off of work a year so that is when i have to go. I'd sure rather be fighting the crowds and sweating in Disney than being here middle of summer (im from St. Martinville...not too far from yall)

 

[winkers]

I love this picture!

Brennan is a boy after my own heart.......I LOVE Dr. Pepper!!

 

[joleen76]

All I can say is OMG!!!! I thought 4 boys was tough, but I've got nothing on you. My DH is also VERY accident prone, although I don't know if a snake bite is considered an accident. At any rate, I hope everyone is feeling better and DH doesn't have to have surgery!

I love that comment about your daughter riding the horsey! I laughed so loud, I think my co-workers think I'm nuts!

Can't wait to hear more!

 

[my2disneyboys]

HI there and welcome back! It sounds like you have gone through a pretty rough time. I'm so sorry. But it sounds like things are starting to get better. I am eager to here all about your trip!!

 

[reelmom]

Glad Faron is feeling a little bit better. How is Grace doing? I can't believe how much she has grown.

 

[coteau_chick]

Cotton Mouth? I hope he heals quickly and without surgery!

Faron went lift up the sheet of metal where he encountered the snake last week and the snack was back He killed it with the shovel. He said it was a baby rattle snake. It was ratteling its tail at him.

I'm in!! Sorry I'm so late. Been having b-day parties and such. I am now the mommy of a 5 year old!! Where does the time go??

We have had quite an interesting week. I was busy like you but in a different way. I had to play nurse.

OMG!!!

Glad they at least sent him him home so soon. Hope all goes well next week.

Great update and pics.

Thanks.

I live in Coteau near cade and it is only about fifteen minutes from St. Martinville.

I love this picture!

I love the picture too and so does Grace.

It was a long night sleeping in the same bed with Grace. I have never had anyone try to ride on my head before

HI there and welcome back! It sounds like you have gone through a pretty rough time. I'm so sorry. But it sounds like things are starting to get better. I am eager to here all about your trip!!

Things are really getting better.

Glad Faron is feeling a little bit better. How is Grace doing? I can't believe how much she has grown.

We are all doing better over here. Grace has grown so much since our last trip. We are having so much fun with her.
