My son's Make-A-Wish trip t

Don't forget cold medicine (just in case one of y'all gets sick on vacation....it happened to me last year) and headache meds (I know you get lots of headaches and jason might too....maybe some kid asprin....well, just meds in general really.) YOu might also want to bring some snacks for the hotel room too so you don't have to run to the food court every time one of the boys gets hungry in the evening.

The pics of Ethan in his walker and braces look good. Seems like he's doin alright with that. The braces are nothing like what I pictured. They don't look all that bad. :thumbsup2 Hopefully all of that will help him in the long run.
 
Oh! And now that you have your trading pins you'll want to put that on your list of things to pack. Don't wanna forget them! Can't wait to see the pics of what you got!

I could've swore I put that one the list. Oh ya I'll have to bring lots and lots of tylenol or something. The kids can only have motrin and tylenol. Because of Ethan's heart he's not allowed to have asprin. Yep, I gotta put that on the list too. Dang I forgot stuff. lol. I hope all this stuff helps in the long run. I'm so tired of the drs. I know it sounds really bad, but I'm so tired of them I really am and I know Ethan's tired of having to go all the time, but at least we're clear of them for a while. I think the next time he goes is in December to see the heart dr and I still have to schedule that appt. I will take pics of the pins on Monday after my PT. :) :) Glad to see you on here again. I missed you. :cool1: :thumbsup2

Maybe you did and I just skimmed over it. :confused3 Just want to make sure you don't forget anything. Ah okay well as long as you have something for the boys to take just in case they start to feel bad you'll be all good. Even if you don't need some of what you bring it's all good because you'll at least have it just in case. Better to be over prepared than not, KWIM?

It doesn't sound awful that you are sick of Dr's. I would be too and I'm sure Ethan is as well but it seems like y'all are going in the right direction with all of his medical issues and have a good team for him now. I hope his heard Dr appointment goes well. Thank goodness you don't have to worry about any of that until after your vacation.

Yeah, sorry I was MIA here for a while. So hard to keep up with everything. Especially when I haven't been able to DIS as much from work as I used to.

Hopefully I won't forget anything lol. I don't want to forget anything. I hope his heart appt goes well too, that's when we'll find out if he's gotta just have his stints ballooned or if he'll need another heart surgery. I'm hopin he don't have to have another heart surgery,but we know that his conduit is already starting to fail because he's grown since he was 2 months old. I'm so excited about our vacation and about the other thing lol. Did you watch the UGA game? I didn't get to watch it all. :(

Well, the Lord has watched over him and y'all through this whole thing and I'm sure he will continue to have His hand over y'all during whatever the Dr's decide in December. :hug:

Nope, haven't watched the UGA game. NOt a big fan.

That's all for now. Hopefully I'll hear from the volunteers this week as to when the party is. I can't wait. It's a much much needed vacation.
 
I got an email this morning from one of Ethan's volunteers. They are going to get with me this week about setting the date for his wish party. :banana: :thumbsup2 :cool1: I can't wait. It's going to be so awesome.

Next monday will be a month since the accident and they still haven't FIXED MY CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to call the body shop tomorrow and bug the lady again. I told her last week when I talked to her I was sorry to keep calling but it's my car. Don't get me wrong I don't have a problem driving a car on someone else's dime, but I want MY CAR BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad: :mad: It's my car. The lady at the body shop fully understood where I was coming from, but since they've NEVER heard or dealt with this insurance company before they can't fix it and give it to us without getting paid first. UGH!!!!! :mad: :mad: I just want my car. I don't care if they fix it, because we're getting a diminshed value check, and hopefully they'll put new parts on it. I understand there was a lot of damage, but they told us it was really minor damage with an accident so severe. It's just really getting under my skin that my car isn't fixed yet.

I have some other news too, but I'm not going to tell you guys yet lol. :love: :love:
 
Your disney pins are cool!! :thumbsup2 I have the one where the Cherries make up a mickey head.

That sucks that your car still isn't fixed and they have to wait to be paid from the insurance company first before they do anything. Ugh!!! :mad: At least you have a car to drive around though.

You're a goober making us wait for the news. I think I know what it is though. :idea:

Yesterday and today were such horrible horrible days. Yesterday I was on the phone with my school and Sallie Mae for 4 hours. The school had screwed up my financial aid, I was soo angry. :mad: I talked to about 12 different people yesterday. Things didn't get straightened out yesterday either. I pulled up my account for school this morning and nothing had posted. So, yet again I called the school back and they're like you don't have anymore money coming in so we had to pull some financial aid from you 08-09 year. I was like um okay. So now I have to WAIT again until Thursday to find out if the approval went through. I hope it does, I can't afford to pay it.
Then around lunch time this morning I got a phone call from yet another person at the dealership telling me that the insurance company still hadn't paid them for the extra damage that was found. So, I had to call our attorney and he was like well I'll call the girls ins company and see what's going on. Monday will be A MONTH!!!! It's ridiculous how they're treating us. The lawyer told me that I was allowed to talk to the girls ins co about property damage only so I called her and talked to the lady that's in charge of the file. Well, they only approved 900$ of the 1700 damage that the dealership found. So I then again called our attorney and told him about it, and he told me to call the dealership and let them know, so I did and she had to call the ins co to find out what was going on and how much they were going to pay and she'd call me back. I finally heard back from the dealership at 2 when I was picking Jeremiah up from school and she was like they're only paying this much and that's fine we can deal with that, but they're not paying 127$ towing fee and we're going to come after you guys to pay that or you don't get your car. I was like I DON'T THINK SO!!! I'm not paying another DIME out of my pocket for this, it wasn't my fault. The ins co should have to pay for EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!! By this time I'm very very angry. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: So I yet again had to call our attorney, I finally got in touch with him after dinner and he was like that's messed up, so he told me to call the lady at the dealership again and have her call him and blah blah blah. So, I called her and she told me it's called a mark up on towing and she also said that the ins co knows they're supposed to pay that. I then gave her all of our attorney's info and had her call him and explain it to him. I waited about 2 hours, then I called the attorney and got no answer so I called the lady at the dealership to see if she spoke with him and she said that he was calling the ins co to get it starightened out. She then told me that our car would be ready by Friday maybe sooner than that. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: I'm so frustrated with all of this crap it's not even funny. I'm not paying that extra towing fee it's not going to happen. Nothing else is coming out of my pocket for this and I told our attorney this and the dealership. They're going to fix my car and then GIVE it to me without giving me trouble.
Then, this morning Ethan had pt and she was LATE LATE LATE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every time she's come out here she's been LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She cut into my time of getting things ready for WDW, and cleaning house and dealing with my school. It really irritates me, why have a schedule if you're going to be LATE all the time? I just don't get it. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's been such a frustrating day for me.
Hopefully I'll be able to start some of the packing tomorrow, who knows. I know I've got pt tomorrow morning and Jeremiah gets out of school early as well as the rest of the kids so that's really not going to help me at all. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just can't win this week.
