Becca's Wish Trip........Update:September 2011.....Photo's....Sorta :)

I just came across your report. I have to subscribe. I can't wait to read through your whole report. We are going to be at Disney at the same time. We also arrive on the 21st! I hope Becca has a magical vacation!

Oh neat, maybe we will see each other. Momtolilnick with be there at the same time though she arrives a little earlier.


Well, only just over 3 weeks left and we have gotten nothing done towards planning!! Thanksgiving, Christmas and other things (My Birthday today, I am in my second childhood at ?? years old) seem to have pushed Disney off its pedestal....BUT......we have to get cracking, we have so much to plan and so little time to do it.
Just been told by MAW that the oxygen concentrator for the plane journey will be delivered on the 19th. That means we have a day for Bic to practice how to use it, we hope she manages to get the hang of it.

On Saturday we received a Big Give package from gcast1, thanks so much Glenda!!!!!
We had visitors at the weekend so todays is the first chance I have had to post to photobucket and update our pre-trippie.

So without further ado........
Becca going into the package after waiting ages for Daddy to find the camera

A Lovely wrapped package complete with ribbon, name tag and a card, Rebecca lurves opening pressies, you would think the excitement would have palled after Christmas, but nope

Rebecca opens cards very strangely, she kinda opens all 4 bits instead of just the flap, it takes ages, we fell asleep waiting....zzzzzz

Zzzzzz......Woke up in time to take a piccie of the pooh card, I forgot to mention that the paper was Pooh too:)

Becca loves Tigger and found his flashing nose straight away, she was worried however because his nose didnt turn off for ages and she thought his bottles (batteries = Bottles of energy) would run out so nobody is allowed to press his nose now :)

A Pooh Diary, complete with padlock and keys - she has replaced the keys with the clip on the bobbley pen because she says she doesnt have secrets and the pen fits with the diary:rotfl:

A Disney Wordsearch book, she is already planning to use it on the plane

She has no idea what this is at this point, no idea at all:confused:

Whoa, neat.....Crayola twistables, Becca loves twistables, she says they are the elite of all crayons :worship:. She got her arms in a kind of a mess trying to hold it up to the camera

Becca says "Thank you so much Glenda, specially for the Bobbley pen and the Roll up"

I must say though the crayon roll-ups are such a very novel idea, I just love em:love:
 
LOL!! I was just looking at the photo's I just posted and noticed that from beginning to the penultimate photo her legs and feet are in exactly the same position :scared1:
She was tired that day but that is beyond acceptable, she never moved at all!:lmao: :lmao: :rotfl2:

Mandy
 
Mandy, thank YOU for posting such awesome pictures of precious Becca and for allowing us to be a part of your magical trip. It is truly a blessing to be able to help bring a smile or two to your family - especially that bustin'-out-all-over smile that Miss Becca has! She's a charmer, that girl!

Hi Glenda, glad you could visit the thread so we could thank you in (virtual) person :)
Thank you Glenda!:banana: :banana: :banana:

Becca has a great smile, it transforms her face. She is getting pretty self conscious about her crooked teeth and is looking forward (with trepidation) to having braces on in a couple of months. Luckily she forgets to be self conscious so her smile gets let loose more often than not :rotfl:

Mandy
 
Wow!!! How awesome. I just love, love, love watching her open that stuff up!!! :)

Awesome Big Gives!
 
Those are the BEST play by play pictures ever! Her smile just shines through and I was laughing at her all twisted and having to get the perfect picture! Her happiness pops right out of the page, so much so I was smiling so much DH asked me what I was so happy about!

I am making sure that Becca reads all of the comments about her smile, you have all boosted her confidence enormously and my heartfelt thanks goes out to you all
Thank you!!!!

I love posting all of the photo's on here, It also serves a double purpose......It gives you and all the Disboutiquers a ring-side seat and it also gives our family a permanent reminder of what is happening here and now to look back on after this is all over.

We finally did something with Becca's wheelchair!

We took it all apart, prepared and painted all the black painted bits on the chair (couldn't spray the chrome)and re-assembled 10 days later after it had all dried for the prescribed amount of time.

It was quite hard work actually, we had to mask everything on every piece we wanted to spray to make sure that bearings and rubber end caps, nuts and bolts didnt get any fall-out. We painted the wheels and the front castors so all of the tire bit had to be masked and those took 2 days just to mask!
We didnt spray the large wheels until the very last and we decided that they were going to get sprayed thoroughly on the rims but just get a very light spraying on the spoke parts as covering them completely was going to mean you could see us coming 100 miles away, the paint was quite bright :)

Becca picked the red color, she did want flourescent pink but we vetoed it as it was only sold in matt and wouldnt have ever looked 'finished'.

We bought a gloss metal look spray paint for the frame and a 'paint for plastics' on the wheels and seat sides.
We have no idea how it is going to stand the tests of time but we like the result that we got.
Becca is just happy that she has a custom chair and that it is going to Disney with us :)

WOW!!!! You did a terrific job! My husband paints cars and I know how much work it can be just to get it ready to paint. Now you know why they charge so much to paint cars!

I'm thinking it needs some flames on the sides....
