From Pop to the Top - Funtastic Adventures in the Summer Sun!

Asking for prayers from all my Dis friends. Brooklynn's best friend Carter went to the doctor Monday for a cough. His mom thought he was coming down with a cold. While there the doctor said he thought he heard a murmur and set up an appointment with the cardiologist. That appointment was today and I just got off the phone with his mom. It doesn't look good. He has multiple holes in his heart and his right aorta should be shaped like a banana, it looks like a cantaloupe because his heart is so over worked right now. They are going to see a specialist at Vanderbilt and try a less invasive procedure but the reality is that more than likely he will have to have open heart surgery at the age of four. Please pray for his parents and his sweet twin sister. Pray that the cardiologist here is wrong and that the less invasive procedure works.

Sending them all my prayers.

Praying for Cartrer, Jill!

Also...Hope Brooklynn feels better soon!

"Match the fecies to the species." That is hysterical! I have never noticed it before. I will HAVE to take the grands to see that when (if) I ever get to take them. The grandson will be ROTF when I explain what "fecies" is. He's five.

My DD won't let me take them until she has taken Jazzy for her first trip. Christopher has been many times, but Jasmine has yet to go. She just turned three yesterday. She had better hurry up cuz it's KILLING ME!!! I so can't wait to spoil that little princess and show her "Lola's house." That's the castle.

And, yes, the names are no concidence. DD is a Disney freak too.

Prayers for Carter and his famil.

 

[moparop]

Absolutely Jill.

Praying hard for Carter and his family. Its so hard when your child is so sick.

Hi Ladies, I know I am VERY late to the party but I am a very long time lurker who has finally decided to figure out how to post etc. I hope you have room for a Jersey girl.

I love reading about your adventures in WDW and beyond. You have a beautiful family. Can't wait to read more...

I will be praying for Carter.

 

[micandminforever]

Carter is in my thoughts and prayers.

 

[IluvXU]

Oh Jill.. there seems to be so much sadness and bad news happening with people I "know" right now. I will pray for Carter and his family.

MeMom... the nests are the ones Disney patrols over at Vero. My near miss of one who laid the nest during the daylight was adopted by a family whom I had walked with and talked to (a Podcast DISer). I have a bunch of stuff on that I will dig out and re- read. I want to do it next time we go to Vero or when the kids understand it a bit more.

 

[vamassey1]

I will also be adding Carter and his family to my prayers. It's so sad when a child is ill.

MeMom I enjoyed your safari pictures and I'm so glad you got bum pictures too. Wonderful pictures at Rafiki's. Such interesting things happening there. We usually end up spending a good bit of time there.

Carter is in my thoughts and prayers.

They can do amaing things with hearts these days and have people right back at home and into life again in just a few days. We'll hope that it is this way with Carter, and he can be back to terrorizing all the little girls again, like little boys are supposed to do!

Carter and his sister, Presley (not sure if she spells it that way), are in Brooklynn's class at school, and they take gymnastics together. They have been good buddies for several years, so they've known each other as long as they have any memory. I'm hoping this can be just an extra long doctor's visit in all of their eyes, Carter will remember little to nothing, and they will all be back romping around together out on the playground with no traumatic memories very soon.

If the boys' bathroom is like the girls', he can read about 'poop' in there, too. I know my second-graders would have a blast in there just reading the signs!

We should be so proud to have Disney freaks as daughters.

A few more pages and we'll finish up this one and start new, so we hope you'll come along! There is always room for a Jersey girl. We like people from a whole lot of other states, too. Aw, heck, we like 'em all!!!

See, I've always liked sea turtles, except for the fact that the mothers don't mother their babies, but I guess I can't fault them for what God directed them to do, right? Adopting a sea turtle next or being in on any other animal's preservation would thrill me. You'll have to tell/show me more. A trip to Vero could be a very exciting side trip one of these days. I remember thinking when you were talking about it how cool it would be for Hannah to see that!

I have many bum pictures. Yep, I like Rafiki's, too, and I would love for my classroom to look a lot like that place. I'll have to take a picture of my own mini-Planet Watch, because I have added some more animals since I last showed you guys.

Poor sweet Carter.... I will definately pray for him and his family.

 

[MagicShell]

I am very sorry to hear about Brooklynn's friend. I hope the doctors can help him have a healthy normal life.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Prayers on the way for Carter and his family...

 

[Lovemy3babes]

I am betting these animals have some of the best care around, being at Disney! They always seem to be treated so well.

I'll definitely say a prayer for Carter and his family. How scary. Poor little guy.

 

[laashley]

Adding Carter and his family to my prayer list.

 

[slightly_obsessed]

My thoughts are definately with Carter and his family.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

I am late but prayers for Carter and his family are on their way.

 

[hlrababy]

Oh Jill..I will definately be saying prayers for Carter and his family as well as putting them on my Sunday School's prayer list

 

[MeMom]

These past couple of weeks (since I got my newest student, who has some pretty serious needs) have wiped me out. Along with the T-Th after school tutoring and clipboard people coming, we've had long faculty meetings, and I have had two S-team meetings. We're really pushing to get grades in early, because we'll be testing for two weeks in December. They also moved Culture Day to December 2nd. They want the halls and doors decorated in our countries. So, we're going from Pilgrims and Indians to Japan overnight. I guess I'll be working on Japan stuff over the Thanksgiving break, because Dec. 2 is almost here!

Anyway, I'm spent, but it doesn't seem right not to come to visit with my DIS friends on Mickey's birthday.

Happy Birthday, Mickey!
And Happy Birthday, and fittingly so, to Wigd's and Shocker's new grandson, who is making this a long day for all of them as he makes his grand entrance.

All of your thoughts and prayers for Brooklynn's little buddy are very much appreciated. You guys are real treasures.


******************************************

Let's see how Bella feels about crickets.

Closer inspection.

Um, on second thought...

Captured!

Your sister is gone. I ate her.
It's tough to be a bug, and we have to eat all your little people when we can.

Isn't this a nice motto?

Reminds me of Laugh In of long ago.

That's all I've got in me for tonight, guys.
Keep Marc, Anita, and Keeley in your thoughts and prayers tonight. We hope they'll be oohing and aahing over a healthy little boy soon (yes, I know his name, but I don't think she's revealed, so I won't), and then they'll all need some good rest!
