So good to hear from you! I hope you enjoyed your holiday and had a little rest time! Yeah! for Madison starting back to school on Monday. I hope all goes well. I bet she is ready to go back.

Thanks for the update! I enjoyed seeing the pictures of Madison enjoying herself so much!

All Right! Glad to see you back Tammy.
Looks like a really great start to your trip. Love Looey's outfit. Can't wait to hear more. Some one more experienced in Trip Report writing can probably elaborate on this but you can start a new thread in the main Trip Report Forum.

Holidays were great. No real rest. Having bad dreams again about Madison and her condition. She was so excited to go back to school today. Can't wait for her to get home and see how it was.

Madison started back to regular school today. She woke up around 3:30 am and wanted to know if it was time to get ready for school. She was so excited. She missed being around her friends. She already knew some of her classmates from last year. Can't wait for her to get home and tell me all about her day. It is to quite here. Mommy is kind of freaking out about her being in school again. So afraid she is going to catch something and end up in the hospital. Having bad dreams about that and not sleeping real well. Anyway, I will have another addition to our trip report later today or first thing tomorrow. Thanks to everyone who is following along. We had an awesome trip.

Tammy, so glad to hear Madison is back in school. I sure everything will be ok and will have a great time. I'm happy for you ladies, Madison deserves to be a kid again after all she's been through. And If you're lonely you can always hop on the DIS boards and chat with your friends here.

Ok so I know everyone is probably pretty upset that I haven't added to our trip report, so sorry. Madison had been running a fever in the evenings for about the past 5 weeks. It just finally went away this past Friday. They did all kinds of test and kept telling me that if she was still running her fever on the next visit then she would be admitted. We would go to the next visit and they would do more test and send us home. Long story short it ended up being a staff infection and she is feeling a lot better and finishing up her antibiotic. She missed all of last weeks school and wasn't very happy about that since she just started back, but it had to be. So it has been a very frustrating, emotional and exhausting 5 weeks. Again I apologize for not posting and hope everyone is still following.
Hope everyone has a great holiday and be safe.
Ok so day two of our trip was spent at Discovery Cove then that evening we went to Downtown Disney. As you will see Madison was exhausted and fell asleep in the car. She totally had a blast and is still talking about it today. She just fell in love with Jenny (our dolphin). A lady in the gift shop gave Madison a picture of Jenny so she would always have it to remember her. She got a stuffed dolphin that makes dolphin noises when you push her fin. I have to say it was the best day ever. My two favorite things - dolphins and my baby girl. I would totally pay to do it again. Got a load of great pics. Hope I don't bore you with to many pictures. Oh and Madison found a baby bunny in some bushes and fell in love with it also. Got a good pic of it also. She so loves animals.

The picture of Madison kissing Jenny is amazing! Looks like it should be an ad for Discovery Cove. Hope you guys had a wonderful Christmas.

Hope you had a Merry Christmas and glad Madison is well again!

The inside it awesome. I would totally pay for it myself to do it again, but dolphins are my favorite animal and to share it with my favorite girl was the best thing ever. Hope your Christmas was great also and thanks for the Madison comment. Hoping she stays well. Had a fever last night though.

Waiting for Rotor Rooter to come unclog the drain in the basement. I promise I will do day three of our trip report before I go to bed tonight. I want to say thanks for following along and mostly for all the support and prayers for my baby girl. It is nice to know that there are people out there who care unconditionally.
Day three to come soon.

 

[scouthawkk]

I absolutely love the dolphin pictures! That is something Zack would totally love to do. So glad to hear you had a nice Christmas. I am looking forward to day 3!

Hi Madison and Tammy!! I LOVE dolpins too, so Im mega jealous - lol!!!! Did you feel like you were on a tropical island?

Madison, what was your favorite Christmas gift?

 

[syammt]

Ok so still waiting for Roto Rooter so I thought I would do day three.
Day 3 we went to Magic Kingdom and I have to say that it was better than ever before. I know it was because of Madison being there on her wish trip. When we first got there Pluto and Daisy were in the circle signing autographs. This was our first chance to use Madisons wish trip pin and I have to say it was awesome. We showed Madison's pin to the cast member and they took her straight to Pluto. Pluto made over her so much. I said to Madison " ok baby let go of Pluto there are other kids waiting." She held her arms out and he wouldn't let go of her. After he was done hugging her he went to the rope that was seperating him and Daisy and personally walked Madison over to Daisy and put her hand in Daisy's hand. It was so cute. We saw loads of characters and they all signed her cast. Some where saying that they wouldn't sign it in the parks, but they all did - awesome. Daisy even signed her hat that Donald sign when we were there in April. Madison and grandma road Splash Mountain. I don't do roller coasters. We got to go to the princess room and the fairy room. Only had to wait like 5 minutes for those also. Madison and I rode Tomorrow Land Speedway while grandma rested. You will have to see the pic of us on that ride I took while Madison was driving. Oh what a ride she gave me. As you will see she fell asleep again after that day also. When we got back to the village we stopped at the ice cream shop. Then we played putt putt and Madison did her pillow and star. We also saw Santa that evening.
