Hi, I'm an avid podcast listener and lurker & occasional poster here on the podcast board. I love reading everyone's comments after each week's show and then coming here in between to catch up on what's going on.

Anyway, my family should be spending our 9th night at CSR tonight but instead we had to postpone our trip. Friday afternoon 5/21 about 16 hours before we were to fly out on 5/22 our oldest DD fell at home and broke both of her leg bones at her ankle. She had to have surgery this past Tuesday and is now the proud owner of 8 screws and 2 plates in her ankle. She's doing OK, still in some pain but she can't put ANY weight on her ankle for 4 weeks. Then it will be 4 more weeks of limited weight and removal of 1 of the screws. She was very upset that it was her fault that we didn't get to go on our trip. Of course her dad and I were upset too but more worried about her.

Shortly after we got home from the doctor's office I got on the phone with Disney and Delta. The Disney CM was very nice and helped me reschedule our trip to September. With the FD promo we were able to upgrade to AKL for our 1st deluxe stay. We will also be able to do MNSSHP for the first time. Thankfully the Delta cs rep that I spoke with waived the reticketing fee for us. All in all the trip details are working out.

Please keep my DD in your thoughts and prayers as she goes through this recovery process. She did this on her first official day of summer so her plans of babysitting and playing at the pool most of the summer are now down the drain. She's a volleyball player and at this point we aren't sure if she will be able to play this fall.

Sorry this is so long but I just wanted to share with you guys.

I really sorry to hear this, I hope that she gets better and recovers... Best Wishes to you al :)
 

Glad she was able to get fixed and best wishes for her recovery. Good for you for being able to find good things about rescheduling!
 
Sorry to hear you had to postpone your trip. :hug: But like you said her getting better is more important.

Hope your daughter heals quickly!!! :hug::hug::hug:

Have a great time when you get to go in September. We just returned last night and stayed at Animal Kingdom, you will love it!!!
 
Sorry to hear about your daughter and the postponement. I'm a parent of two and can totally understand the kids coming first and so glad that she is doing better. The next trip will just be that much more special..believe me..I know.

Wow, this really has to be hard on your daughter, not being able to do much this summer. She's in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you have a great time when you get to go in Sept!
 
Aw that stinks, but at least it sounds like they were all nice about the re-scheduling, that's great. At least now she has something to look forward to after her recovery. Glad she will be okay.
 
Your more then welcome :), How long did their saw that she would recover from it...

The doctor said that it would be a good 2 month recovery period. He is hoping that she will be in a shoe by the time school starts in early August.

Glad she was able to get fixed and best wishes for her recovery. Good for you for being able to find good things about rescheduling!

Thank you!

Thank you! We are excited about AKL. We have a pool view room. I see that you are going back for your 20th anniversary trip next year. When is your anniversary? DH and I will be celebrating our 20th next summer too!

Yes, we were very fortunate that they were both willing to work with us! She is looking forward to the trip and trying to decide what she wants to be for MNSSHP!
 
i am so sorry that your daughter has had to go through this!!
i hope she recovers quickly and with no ill effects...
and that you all are able to enjoy your holiday in September!!
 
:grouphug: for your daughter and for you

Now you will get to enjoy that sweet anticipation a little longer :goodvibes

Hope she feels well soon!
 
Best wishes for your daughter's swift healing.
If there is a golden egg in this, it's that you will be staying at AKL....I hope you love it as much as DH and I do. Make sure you check out all the different activities they offer at the lodge. :goodvibes
 
I'm so sorry about your DD! What a bummer on the first day of summer too. Sounds like your rescheduled trip is working out though, now you'll get to stay at AKL and be able to do the Halloween party. Wishing your DD a speedy recovery and hopefully she'll find some other ways to have fun this summer.
 
Oh My Goodness your poor daughter- BOTH legs is just so unfortunate!

I wish her a speedy recovery and very much hope that with some physiotherapy she'll be back to playing volleyball in no time.
 
Oh my goodness, how painful for your poor dd! Many good wishes for a speedy recovery. Glad everything worked out for your trip.
 
Thank you all. She is enjoying seeing all of your responses and well wishes!!

I think what I wrote was a little confusing. Thankfully she only broke 1 ankle but it was both leg bones in that ankle. Thank you for your recovery wishes!!
 
Hope that DD recovery goes well. At leat WDW worked with you on postponing your ressies.
