Absolutely Rae, very good idea!!!

 

[Verandah Man]

My DW is talking to Chris this very minute on the phone, will give a report any minute now, stay tuned!!!

 

[Verandah Man]

Nate was given the O.K. to go on the cruise, the Page Family will be flying to Florida on Friday!!! Keep the prayers going for the next week, Nate was put on antibiotics.

Can't wait to see some pics of my "LITTLE BUDDY" sitting on his verandah, with the wind blowing through his hair!!!

Oh, thank goodness. And thanks Andy for the update... We are wishing them god speed on their journey and will most definitely keep them in our prayers.

 

[musicgirl]

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so excited for them. They are probably so busy now trying to get going!

 

[Verandah Man]

I had Hazel ask Chris if either she or Eric would be posting "Live from the Magic" reports, and Chris said "YES!!!"

We will have to keep our eyes glued for any new threads from the Magic starting Saturday and going through the following Saturday. Chris did mention to Hazel that she did get a message from someone on the ship, that this person would be on the ship, to grant Nate's every wish, I'm sorry, but I'm sitting here typing getting misty-eyed again.

That is AWESOME news, Andy, I am SO glad to hear Nate and family will be sailing soon!

SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS!

O.K., O.K. I am so so so so sorry!

Nate saw the doctor today and she listened to him and gave him a good once over, not saying a word the whole time I might add and then as calmly as you please said, "Well......Nathan have a wonderful trip!" I let out the breath I was holding and almost cried. We have him on an antibiotic just in case he is starting to get something. We were going to put him on one anyway just because of all the new germs he will be exposed to, so now he is getting them sooner. Nate's body cannot handle an overload of germs, even if they aren't necessarily sick germs.

So, I also have a couple of other things to add:

1. Thank you all so much. When Nate started to have some trouble, I didn't even panic. I just thought, well post a message and his Dfamily will pray for him and it will all be o.k. Thank you for the prayers...and for being people I knew I could count on.

2. I just want to state again how much we have come to love and care for the Verandah family. I received a phone call from Hazel and she scolded me for not posting sooner about the Dr's o.k. I could hear Andy in the back saying, "there are a lot of people worried about him". I had to chuckle because I thought it seemed like I was talking to my parents. You know what...I loved it. My and Eric's families are very small and not as close as we would like. I felt so good to have someone call me up and fuss at me, just like a real family would. So, thank you Dmom Hazel and Ddad Andy.

3. WE ARE LEAVING FOR OUR CRUISE TOMMARROW!!!! I don't think I have ever been so excited about anything in my life.


We have been told that Nate is almost a celebrity on the ship and I am so looking forward to that for him. For once he will be looked upon like royalty and not just a "disabled kid". I can only imagine how that will feel to him.

O.k. so now I have to get back to packing...I have not packed a thing yet because I was so worried the Dr. would give us bad news and I thought well it will be easier if I don't have all of our bags sitting there looking at me while I am shattering everyone’s dreams. Now I am running around like a "chicken with my head cut off" (as my grandmother used to say)

Holy smokes..did I say that? I must really be delusional with excitement to say something like that on here!SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS! SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS!

I don't post often, but have followed your story from the very begining.

I am VERY happy for you and your wonderful family. I wish you all the most magical memory making vacation ever.

The kindness of the people on these boards is what keeps me a faithful member.

I wish I could be there to see Nate's reactions to everything he is about to experience. I KNOW it will be truly wonderful.

Have a safe trip!!!

[Verandah Man]

I know, I wish that I could be a fly on Nate's cabin wall all week long. I can't wait to hear how their cruise went, I know it will be even more "MAGICal" than ours!!!

 

[mobetsy]

Wonderful news! I hope you and your two little princes have an incredible time The Magic will be floating on prayers.

 

[Verandah Man]

Actually, Eric and Chris have three sons: Nick, Nate, and Nash.

 

[pagehouse]

That's true and if you count the dogs I have another son named RERUN and a daughter named MCKENZIE (both Basset Hounds)
