So sorry about your son!Drive safe and we'll be thinking about him. I'll check in when I get back from my mini vaca and hopefully you will have an update.



Also Congrats on the Upgrade! That's awesome!

 

[ZeroToHero]

[DisneymoonJess07]

Congrats on the pixie dust when you needed it! I hope your son is doing well, and that they can take care of him soon!

 

[nu2wdisneyw]

Hello Everyone! Thanks for the well wishes!!! Jeffery's surgery is done and he is resting. The surgery went well and the appendix had not ruptured!! I will keep you all posted!

 

[ZeroToHero]

Good to hear. Just think how great of a surprise Disney will be for him! And he'll definitely be feeling better in a month. (Maybe that could even be another celebration to add.... )

Stephanie,

I am sorry to hear about your son, but I am glad he is well and that you guys are there. Hope he recovers well and everything is OK

What a great upgrade how exciting! You guys will love it, what a special pre-Disney treat

Okay ~ so I started to make one of my many lists that I need while preparing for this trip. One of the easiest was my grocery list so I decided to get that out of the way. So here is my tentative grocery list....

• Milk
• Water 24 pk
• Bananas
• Apples
• Juice
• flavored water mixes
• Cereal bars.
• Donuts
• muffins
• Cereal boxes mini's
• Gummy snacks
• snack packs – pretzels, crackers, cookie etc
• candies
• PopTarts – I picked up 2 boxes in Target…they were on clearance 12pk for $1.58!! Only bringing one on the trip.

So what do you think?? Anything that I am not thinking of? We are on the Dining Plan of course…do you think we are getting too much?? Well now I have to go and work on the many other lists I need to make!

I think the list looks good, a few emergency and neceessary snacks plus a few easy breakfasts in the morning...but now that you are in the 1BR..you may be able to adjust based on how many meals you may want to make in there...like toast or bagels instead of pop tarts

You may not need the candy or gummy snacks if you plan to visit Goofy's candy shop you can get some yummies there and some things as Snack credits.

So with the change in resort...I am going to need to make a few adjustments. I am actually sitting in the hospital typing this, so I have no planning information here with me because of Jeffery!!

I have to say that I am excited I will be able to do every other day and we don't have to travel to a laundry room to wash clothes!! I am also excited for the kitchen...I can actually cook breakfast in the room some mornings.

I am surely going to miss the pool party at POP!! I know you ladies are going to have a BLAST!! Who knows I may just show up anyway!!!

I was totally not prepared for this which...anyone with suggestions, please help me out!!

 

[KathyRN137]

Well I have to say that I am too excited about the Pool Party we are having at POP. I was on another TP and some fellow DISers are doing a Grand Gathering together and decided that we should have a BIG DIS meet for all those that are staying at POP during the same time. When I say that the meet is growing…I mean it is growing fast. It’s going to be BIG and I can’t wait. Check out the thread here: http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2209989. My Husband thinks that I am crazy to be excited to meet-up with people that I have never met. He just doesn’t get it…tried to explain to him that we are all in-love with the same man (who just happens to be a Mouse!!!). He thinks I am NUTS!!

Sounds fabulous.... I love DIS-Meets!! You are going to have such a good time!

Okay sooooo....it's really time to focus on getting in shape! My ultimate goal is to lose 23 lbs. But my goal for Disney is 10 lbs. I am going to use all of you for my support. If you take a look at my siggy, I have added a new ticker.....Please wish me luck, and if anyone cares to join I would love the company!!

Well, you know that I'm there with ya!

.....they sent them to the hospital from the doctors office because they wanted to do further tests!! They are still in the hospital, trying to rule out any ruptures or appendicitis!!! OMG ~ I am loosing it!!! They have done a urine sample and are waiting for the results of his blood tests, before ordering a CTScan!!! I told her if it is appendicitis, THEY ARE NOT TO OPERATE UNTIL WE GET THERE!!!!!!! I am freaking out...I am in the process of throwing a bag together for DH and I just in case we have to jump on the road. We don't want to go just yet and have it be nothing but a bruise...my patience is wearing thin....

Yikes!! How awful!

Hello All!
Well they are transferring my son to another hospital for further evaluation...one that has a BIGGER peds department and a pedatric surgeon. It's looking very likely that he is going to need the surgery!! I know that it is a minor surgery, but the ultrasound was very suspicious for appendicitis.

Good call... better safe than sorry....

Hello Everyone! Thanks for the well wishes!!! Jeffery's surgery is done and he is resting. The surgery went well and the appendix had not ruptured!! I will keep you all posted!

Thank God!

And congrats on the awesome upgrade... you will fall in love with the DVC one-bedroom, I guarantee it!!

Can you still get in on the Pop Pool Party action??

[ZeroToHero]

Hey, we can plan together if you want - I'm just as confused on all this as you are. KathyRN, SSR is your home, right? Do they give you dishwashing soap, sponges, laundry detergent and stuff? Or do you need to bring things?

 

[nu2wdisneyw]

Hello Fellow DISers!!
Well we are back home and Jeffery is doing GREAT! He is healing well and is up an moving. It was not a very invasive surgery...he has 3 small incisions, instead of a one big one. I have to say that I am glad to be home!!

It was a great ride home and I am looking forward to getting back to my normal life!! Well when we arrived home I had to check the mailbax...I knew that Disney would have something in there for me!! I WAS RIGHT!!! I had Mickey Mail!! Unforunately it was all printed with my original ressie information. I am still excited none the less. Obviously, there was not much Disney planning this weekend...so now I have to get BUSY!! I just wanted to let you guys know that we were home and doing well!! I will post more tomorrow, or Thursday once we are all settled

Thanks for reading!

Kathy

I am sure they will still allow me to get in on the pool party action...if I asked nicely!

What advice, ideas or suggestions do you have in regards to SSR??

I would love to have a planning buddy!!

 

[oregonmommyof2]

So glad to hear that Jeffrey is doing well and recovering nicely... I had to have my gall bladder out, and instead of a big incision I got the laproscopic surgery and have 4 tiny incision marks...

Yay for Mickey mail!!!!

I have at least another week and a half I think until I can start stalking my mailman... I will say that the UPS man has not shown his face around my house after last time...

 

[accountingbabe08]

Hey I'm so glad to know that Jeffrey is alright Stephanie. I'm glad your back your @ 30 days til Disney. I changed my dates we are going on a 13 night trip in November spending turkey day with the mouse.


Belinda

 

[ZeroToHero]

Woo! Glad to hear you're back!

As for your old reservation stuff, I think it's actually okay. As long as it's different online, and if you have an email with your update, you should be good. I had to call and switch my Magical Express stuff though - but you're driving.
