Piper's Practically Perfect PTR..Wish Trip! 3/2-8...Upd Pg 126- TR Link!! Hooray!

Happy New Year to you and Piper!! I loved your videos and pictures. And your story brought so many tears to my eyes. I admire your courage and strength. Piper is blessed to have a wonderful mom as you.

Thank you! :hug: I personally think all of our wish kid parents are pretty amazing. I've loved meeting so many people that really "get" what everyone else is going through/has been through. I've gotten so much more from this experience already than I ever thought I would. I hope you guys have a wonderful year as well!!

I agree. I think this is one of the most positive, supportive boards that I have yet to belong to. I LOVE it here!
 
Huge hugs to you :hug::hug: You are definitely quite the lady and I wish you and Piper many happy memories and much love this coming year!!! I have been blessed many times over reading your stories about Piper and I look forward to hearing about your many adventures at Disney!

Thank you, Jen! :hug: I hope you all have a wonderful year as well. Your trip is getting so close :banana: :banana: I don't even want to think about being two weeks out yet!! I have a feeling we're going to be in for some major post-Disney depression when we get back, but I'm choosing not to think about that, LOL.
 
Amanda, I have been MIA latley but finally read your last post and just wanted to tell you your an amazing woman and mother. Not many have the courage to do what you did and Im positive you and Piper have a better life for it. I can totally relate to the not having much of a social life and this board being an amazing place. I would be happy to call you a friend and if you ever want or need to just talk let me know. :hug:

I'm so glad you're back around, believe it or not, I was wondering what happened to you! :hug: Thank you for the kind words, I'm still totally excited we're going to overlap with our dates! The offer to talk goes both ways! :flower3:
 
Just popping in to say howdy. Today is my son's birthday, so it's off to make a cake (with his girlfriend's help) and decorate the dining room.

Weird to have a 19 year old. Mostly cuz that makes me old-ish.

Thanks, Liesa..popping over to your thread now to leave b'day wishes for your son!
 
So Amanda... I read a few post that claimed "tears"... and since I am at work (with a bunch of guys) I am not willing to share the waterworks ;) and avoiding said posts. :hug:

But I did want to stop by and wish you a Happy New year... and Congrats that Piper has been selected for the Dis Big Give :)

I was really excited that you guys were chosen.

I am too!! I hadn't announced it here yet, but now I will... :rotfl2: I don't blame you for not wanting to risk tears at work..I used to work in a 99% male environment, so I know what you mean! I hope you and your family have a wonderful new year as well!!
 
So on Saturday I happened to notice I had a pm..when I opened it I wasn't real sure who would be messaging me..turns out it was Heather Sue from ....The Big Give!! asking if we would be interested in receiving a give. I really had to hem and haw over this, wasn't sure if it was something we wanted to be associated with..... YEAH RIGHT! I was so completely excited it wasn't even funny. I got the ppwk done lickety-split..maybe too lickety-split..Heather Sue said it was the fastest she'd ever gotten ppwk back! I had read about the Big Give in several reports, and was secretly hoping they would want to do a give for Piper, but was trying not to get my hopes up. I haven't told Piper yet..she asked why I was measuring her..and mean mommy that I am said.."If it was something you needed to know, you would know." :rolleyes1: Actually I'm just keeping it in my pocket for a bad day..it's looking like we are going to end up on IVs, I'm just glad we got through the holidays first. She's back on O2, and 3 ltrs to keep her just at 92. We're waiting on a call back now, and I'll update as soon as we know more. In the meantime...thank you again Heather Sue, and any Big Givers that might be reading this..I am completely excited, and I know Piper will be also! :banana::banana::cheer2::wizard::cheer2::banana::banana:
 
Congratulations! That's so exciting Amanda!! Piper will be thrilled when you tell her.

Sorry to hear about the IVs... :hug: I hope things improve soon.
 
:cool1: :banana: Yay! Im so happy Piper gets to be apart of the Big Give. Im really hoping to be involved in it after we get back from our trip. So sorry she might end up on Iv's. She'll be in my thoughts. Keep us updated.

Thank you both! We're very excited and I'm also hoping to get involved with the Big Give when we get back. I'm still waiting to hear from her Dr, but will keep everyone updated as I can... :hug:
 
Awww...that is great!! I'm so excited for you and Piper!!!! Can't wait to see what all she gets!

Thank you all ! :hug: I'm going to tell Piper tomorrow after we access her port, finally spoke with her Dr and we're going to start home IVs tomorrow. She had an appt set up Wed anyway, so we'll evaluate after that whether she can stay home or needs to go inpatient, but it sounds like they're going to let us stay home and do them for the duration! Hooray for that!! :banana:
