Oh the Pressure to do a PTR -- We're Home & Surprise Video up on Facebook

[Minnie&Nana]

Holding all in heartfelt prayer, Kathy.

Kathy, I am so late for this PTR! We were in FL (St Pete area) last week and am just catching up now..read through page 9 and will get back later to read the rest - although it could be 5 more pages by then! Really don't want to have to skim!!

I just love your PTR's and TR's and though I don't post much, do read and enjoy!

Unless there have been changes since page 9 - OKW for Sept and CSR for December - fabulous! Cannot wait for the big Dec surprise PTR/TR and Nicki's dining! What fun to look forward to!

Loved your arrival day plans! Looks great! I love EoS!

Your DS is truly one of a kind! That is very impressive of him taking the initiative to raise funds to help the family! It's a VERY touching story (thankfully I had a kleenex nearby!).

Praying for your MiL. Keep us updated!

Mark has such a gracious heart! Praying for this young wrestler and his family.

I've been praying for you mil since I saw your fb status. Will be praying even more so for Friday.

Miracles do happen! My dad was diagnosed with a huge brain tumor a couple summers ago. When they went in to remove it, it ended up not even being a tumor. It was the most bizaare thing, but we counted it as a miracle, a huge blessing! My dad is a walking miracle times two, as he also survived a brain aneurysm with no ill effects 25 years ago, after given just hours to live! May your mil have that kind of supernatural healing!

Okay. I've been missing for soooo long. Finally finished up the last TR. Got caught up over here. Jealous that you'll be at OKW, again, in September. I really wanted that for this past April but, nothing was available. We did fall in love with SSR though.

I was going to fall off the couch if you said you were staying at CBR since we'll be checking in on the 16th. I didn't even try for OKW again since this trip upcoming trip was supposed to be at BWI (that's how I bribe DH. Walking distance from Epcot) but that fell through. So I had to go with the deal I got for CBR.

You and your family have been in my thoughts and prayers since I saw your FB post. And you'll stay there as long as needed.

Now I hope I can stay on task here. Boards seem to be running a little quicker since I was last here.

Sorry to read about Mark's mom. I'll be keeping her and all of you folks in my prayers.

I must have missed your FB post about your MIL, Kathy! Thinking you and your family.

Keeping Mark's mom in my prayers Kathy.

You asked about our two trips, we are heading to Disneyland on the 10th for our 20th anniversary. So exicted to stay at the newly refurbed Disneyland Hotel, then going to WDW in October over the kids fall break.

Tell Mark Happy Father's day! Dan, Maria and I will be in Chicago next summer (she is actually there right now visiting with my brothers family lucky kid) and I hope we can meet up, it would be so great to see you guys!

 

[LuvvsMickey]

First, to you both. Second, resorts are booked. See you at OKW, baybee, God willing!! I can't wait to give you a real hug. xox

 

[DisMomAmy]

All caught up Kathy! I'm keeping your MIL & little Alex in my thoughts. And sending pixie dust to you & your family!

Your resort choices sound perfect to me!

I know I owe many responses and an update, and I apologize and promise to get to it soon.

Mark's mom is being very difficult. She won't let any of us help, she refuses to give power of attorney to either of her kids (Mark or his sister, Dona), won't give us any of the neighbors phone numbers in case we can't reach them, etc. Dona went there on Father's Day and said just before she got there the fire department had been there because her mom fell and my father-in-law could not get her up. She is very weak and is not eating (she had two small pieces of melon while Dona was there). All she does is sleep; she has trouble walking, etc.

She has her first chemo session today. I truly believe that after she has one or two and starts getting sick from it and possibly even weaker that she will make the decision to not even have the treatments.

Dona is going there tonight and we planned on going Thursday night. But after Mark hung up with Dona, he called her back at my suggestion and they are both going there after work tonight. I'm hoping if they both go and "gang up" on her that she will see some reason. She is not eating, taking her insulin, etc. My father-in-law cannot take care of her on his own. She is also stressing out her daughter and son (and, as many of you know, my Mark had a heart attack about eleven years ago and I don't want him having another!).

We'll see what happens.

Thanks for all the prayers and I'll try to respond and update tonight while Mark is at his mom's.

 

[Lidian]

Continuing to pray for you MiL. Please keep us updated the best you can -- just take care of your family first!

There is absolutely no reason to apologize.

I'm so sorry to hear what all is going on with Mark's mom. It has to make the situation so much harder with her not wanting to cooperate. I hope that Mark & his sister can get through to her tonight. I will continue to keep her in my prayers as well as you, Mark & his entire family.

sorry Mark's mom is not doing well, Mark and Dona are doing the right thing and getting there to get things figured out.....they should just go to the neighbors and get phone #s, hope they can convince them to do the PoA, they need to be able to have the ability to make decisions for them both.

continued prayers for you all and that your MIL doesn't have too hard of a time with the chemo....and that Mark can keep calm, they can only do so much for their folks.

Oh Kathy! The news just keeps getting worse doesn't it. I home that the kids will be able to talk some sense into their mother. Keeping you all in my prayers.
