Our list of characters:
Joe...dad who loves watching cartoons with the kids (and without them too
)
Dana....mom who keeps our house running and everything else keeps me running!
Emma...9 yrs. Wish Princess who I'll be spending her b-day in the most magical place on earth
.
Ryan....8 yrs. Going on 30
Super smart but still a handful.
Emma was born with Congenital Heart Defects on March 25th, 2003. I had a normal pregnancy with "perfect" ultrasounds so, when they told us that Emma was not doing well and they thought it was her heart, we were all heart-broken. She was transferred to UAB in Birmingham, AL. When she got there we found out she had Transposition of the Great Vessels, Pulmonary Stenosis, and a VSD.
Emma had surgery at 9 days old for a B-T shunt and did great!! We got to come home when she was 2 weeks old.
Fast forward to today and 1 more B-T shunt at 1 yr. + Open-heart surgery at 2 1/2 yrs.+ 4 sets of ear tubes + other minor surgery + a brace for scoliosis.
I knew Emma would be eligible for a wish through MAW for a while but wanted to wait until she was older to go ahead. I went on the MAW website and recommended
Emma myself and it didn't take long at all before we heard back from them. I already knew what Emma's wish would be because she had been telling us since she was 4 that she wanted to go to Disney World. Now, since being approved for her trip, anytime something about Disney comes on she just starts screaming any running through the house
I won't ever forget how excited she has been over this whole process. This experience will forever live in her heart and ours and I couldn't be more blessed
I know it's not much of a read but THANK YOU for stopping by

So happy she's getting her wish, and that she's enjoying the process so much. 
When will your family be there. So far I haven't found anyone on here that will be there the same time
They are both adorable.
