My son's Make-A-Wish trip t

[Tat2ddisneymom]

Any idea when he'll be having this surgery? I feel so bad for the little guy! Its one thing for adults to have to have surgery, but its so much harder to see kids have to go through it. Especially if its your own kid. I can only imagine.

At first he wanted to do it the first week of November and I was like um how bout no we're going to Disney. I was like can we please wait til after December to do it. We're "supposed" to drive back to CT for Christmas this year. It all depends on when the lady calls and schedules the surgery. Honestly I'm praying that they wait until January to do it. But if they schedule it for December then I don't really have a choice in the matter. Thanks for the hugs. According to my husband it's a walk in the park. Which don't get me wrong, a lot of the surgeries that he's had we tell everybody it's just a walk in the park, because we're so used to staying/living at the hospital, but this one to me in my heart doesn't feel like a walk in the park. I've been praying and praying about it. God will give me the answer. Thanks again.

It gets better over time, but still feels horrible watching him go through all these surgeries. Thanks.

It's good to know somebody out there feels our pain. That doesn't sound right, I hope you know what I mean? Thank you for the prayers we greatly appreciate them. LOL I get free long distance too. Where do you live?

Well, I found out today from the dealership that there was an extra $1700 worth of damage to our car. They are waiting on the insurance company to make their descion on if they're going to pay the extra money to fix it or just total it. The last 2 dealerships that we went to before all this crap happened to try to trade our car in they were going to give us $5,000 and the other was going to give us $5,500. So, it's really up to them on what they do about our car. If they total it that's just FINE with me, then she'll be buying me a BRAND NEW MINIVAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not really in the mood for it. The lawyer told me that it would be better if they just total it out, because we can't trade it in now because of that stupid stupid girl. I know it's not nice to call people names, but that's what I'm calling her. Teenagers need to take drivers ed and defensive driving classes and not get their DL until their 21!!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry but there's way too many teenagers down here that I know of that get killed or they kill somebody because they think they own the road and well they DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This has really upset me about teenagers driving. I'm sorry I'm rambling. That's the update for now. I have to take the laptop with me for class so I'll try to update as much as possible while we're up there. Thanks again everybody for all the prayers and thoughts. We really really appreciate them!!!!!!!!!!!!! You guys have been very supportive of us. Thanks.

We are back from our trip to CT. It wasn't bad, just freezing cold. I think it got down into the low 40's at night, but hey it's CT lol. I talked to the dealership today to see if they had heard from the insurance company about fixing the rest of the damages. Well, they had their adjuster came out Monday morning, and told them he would fax them something first thing this morning. Well, I called the lady at like 130 this afternoon and she said that she hasn't heard anything from them and she'd been calling them. So, the rental car has been extended yet again until the 17th of this month. So I called our lawyer and told him what was going on. Hopefully he'll get some answers. This is really starting to aggrevate me the wrong way. The 20th of this month will be a month since the accident and NOTHING and I mean NOTHING has been done about the accident or my car. It's ridiculous. Anyway, I have pics from the wedding. And the kids also got another big give present while we were gone. I will take pics of that tomorrow. Thank you so much for sending that.

Thanks. Me too. It's all crap it really is. I hope it ends soon too. I've already told the lawyer that if nothing is fixed by the time we leave for WDW then too bad, cuz I'm not taking anybody's phone calls. I'm not going to ruin my son's trip becasue some stupid 18 year old decided to be a dare devil and run a red light. Not going to happen. How's Hank?

I don't blame you!! I wouldn't take the calls either.

Hank is doing ok. He is still in pain but the infection is clearing up. He will be on antibiotics for the next 7 days at least. UGGGGHHHH!! At least they go though the feeding tube!!!

It's starting to irritate me. They either need to fix my car or total it. They keep saying that we just need to get my insurance company to fix my car and I'm like uh no I don't think so. I can't afford to pay my deductible.

I hope he feels better soon. I don't like antibiotics, they're gross. I didn't like it when Ethan had his feeding tube, it was a pain.

I finally have the pics from the Big Give things. lol.

This came from a lady at church, she bought it for Ethan to get the characters to sign

This is from the big give

 

[Leger13]

oh I love the stuff you got from the big give!! Such great pillow cases!! I'm sure the boys LOVED them, huh? And the shirt from the lady at your church is adorable. He'll have fun getting all the characters to sign that.
