Hi Everybody,
I spoke with Kristin last night, and she is doing ok. She has an upset stomach, and is still in quite a bit of pain. They will be taking an x-ray today, to see if the tube is starting to work. I will keep you all updated when I talk to her later today. She said to tell everyone thanks for all the get well wishes.

We have a busy day today, Timmy is in another baseball tournament. Jacob's 3&4 year old team is in a parade at the Baltimore Orioles game today. They get to go down on the field, and parade around the stadium. He is so excited!

Ginger,
I will send you a pm with my phone #, so we can talk!

Happy Mothers' Day to all!

I'm off to see my step mother and do a little something with my spouse for the day. Not sure what we're gonna do as it's up to "Mom"! Heck... after having 2 kids I still have a little hesitation at calling my dear spouse "mom"!?


Wishinng everyone a pleasat weekend - and speedy recovery to Kristen...

 

["Ginger"]

Hope all our moms had a great day.

Ginger....

... with the chickens and desire for goats... did you know that if you can get a commercial yield from your "farm animals" on your land... you might qualify for an anti-spral agricultural break on your property taxes? I've heard smart folks in the know have done this to drop their P-tax bill to a fraction of the usual. EG, a 19 acre plot wtih a hotel on it had a clutch of sheep too and they had a sub $700 p-tax bill.

If my pointer leads to any tax savings for you then you owe me a mickey bar on the ship!

So - today we swung by D-land for a few hours then met my SM for a Mother's Day dinner. Simple stuff... it was relatively quiet at the park so that meant 5 minute lines for the Matterhorn! And at my SM's place I shot some photos that will probably make nice framed gifts for Christmas this year!

We'll be traveling tomorrow til tuesday - plus out of town from This saturday til next tuesday... BIL from Boston will be visiting plus my SIL will be in for the weekend too. It's shapig up into a frantic travel and entertaining 10 days!

Cheers!

Hi Everyone,
Hope you all had a great weekend and a Happy Mother's Day.

Rick and I went to see "The Poseidon Adventure" Saturday. I have seen the old one with Shelly Winter's, Pamela Sue Martin and the Grandpa from Willy Wonka several times and wasn't freaked out. The new one freaked me out!! I guess because it was more realistic to me and it reminded me of The Disney Ship's in some aspects. Anyway it was a good movie, just to sad I actually cried. Anyway It took me all day to shake off the Movie.

Kristin, I hope you are doing better!!!

Happy Monday!!!

Just wanted to give you all a quick update on Kristin. This morning she had another procedure done that pretty much fuses the lung to the chest cavity. She is in quite a bit of pain, but is doing well. The doctor is thinking she might get to come home in the next few days, as long as the results from this procedure are looking good. She said to tell everyone hi.

 

["Ginger"]

YAHOO!!!!!

 

[kritter]

Heather, thanks for the beautiful flowers and Jen thanks as well they really made me smile...

Well I am home and ok...Came home late this afternoon....I will update you all tomorrow...very tired..it was really quick they removed the tube and asked if I wanted to go home...so of course I said yes pray that the next week the lung stays up and I will be ok...thanks so much.,.miss you alll!!!!

Kristen...

Happy to hear you're on the "mend". Hope you get better real soon!

Cheers for you too Ginger! Maybe I should look closer at the DVC one of these days.

Aside from all that typing has become a chore - my 2.5 year old just tore off some of the keys on my notebook computer so I have to order a replacement keyboard or plug in an external one.... continue fiddlinging to double press the "B" "N" "H" and "G" keys. It is so ackward that I'll have to do something real soon.

TTFN!

 

[kritter]

Thanks so much feeling a bit better...today just soo aprehensive this time and worried that it is not going to stay up like last time.......

 

[captaincrash]

Please try to worry less (I know it might seem difficult)....

... but find positive things and constructive diversions to foster a better environment to recover in. The human spirit is a wonderful and powerful thing if we can channel it for the right purposes! You know what - there is a thread here that I get plenty of fun out of - it's the DIS photo of the day thing - I even have a dozen or more postings there already - but it makes for almost going ON a voyage just by sweeping through it and peeking at the photos! Plus - a few folks have posted links to their voyage albums too. Those are pretty good too for a few chuckles!

Also, I just sent an Disney autograph book I had extra to a DIS person who was quipping that she was being a good sport at one of my thread postings for an on-line Q&A game... and she got my "award" of the autograph book today... and in so saying... she declared it was bright and sunny day in MA to get a free "award" from cruising on the DIS boards! As I recollect - K - you're in that region. SO I think today might be a warm and sunny day for you (?) - so maybe this is someting else to enjoy, eh? If I am correct - that is.

So - I'm certain I'm not alone from our little scatterred DIS gang in encouraging you make today and everyday to come a chipper sort of day!

OK?

Failing that I can offer to send you a "free" Disney autograph book. My spouse bought a case of the things on deep discount from the Disney store on ebay - and she's such a nut - she figured if one is cheap then buying two CASES is even cheaper somehow. SO I had a case to share with the DIS kids on our last Disney cruise - and I think I have most of a case to share with the kids on our up-coming DIS Disney cruise. Failing that - the left over autograph books may serve as additional awards for the winners and / or participants of the 2nd Unofficial DIS Mickey Ice Cream Bar Speed Eating Challenge on our sailing!

That was intended to draw a snicker. And it is entirely the truth - the whole truth ... and nothing but the truth.

Capt,

YOu make me smile and sounds like yo make soo many others do the same...Thanks for the words of encouragement...YOu are too kind...


It was a sunny day here and my mom aka: nurse right now let me sit outside for a bit...But honestly not feeling well still at all and am going to the dr. again for antoher chest x-ray if the lung doesn't get me all of the radiation will right...he he...that was a joke...!!! not a funny one but yet a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh your offer for the book is a kind one and the kids would love it but maybe you should save it for you own kids?????

I will let you all know what the outcome is after the dr. visit..........

Little worried that the dr. may say no flying for a while which would make the cruise out...if he says six months like last time but then he did change his mind and said oh wait a few months and you will be fine...We have not approached this subject with the dear old dr. yet!!!!!!

 

[kritter]

just bumping us up!!! hOw is everyone???????

 

[captaincrash]

I'm running behind because my....

... SIL is now going to drive down from Newport Beach to join us for the day at Lego Land. I was going to pick up her daughter and return her - that might have added 112 miles to my 2.5 our drive - but now I am free of that! Aside from that the weekend will low intensity lounging while we enjoy watching the kids 1.75/2.5/5.25 & 8. I left the male spouses out of that line up!

We'll be gone til tuesday eve. Cheers to everyone!

 

[Tluvs2talk]

[kritter]

Feeling a bit better..I went out for a ride today with my mom and was totally wipped out when I returned home...I slept for a long while I was totally out of it...!!!!!!!!!

 

[captaincrash]

Looks like it's been sort of quiet 'round here while I was away. My trip to SD was nice. We hooked up with family from Boston and Hawaii and hit Legoland and the Zoo. I'm wacked having walked in an hour ago... c-ya all later! I gotta rest a bit...

And... 'fore I go - I'm glad you got out Kristen even though you were tired fron it. I would like to assume it was still nice to get out.

Now go get some healing rest as I am going to too.

TTFN

Crash,

So your visit with your BIL sounds like it went well and was fun at the same time....

I am still in such pain and the kids today are at a play date with a friend from preschool and our church...People have been soo kind making us all dinners and taking care of the kids...It really is overwhelming all of the support that they are showing toward our family though all of this...It really is great......

Hope all is well,,,

Kristin
