PLEASE HELP! Sick kid. Cruise leaves tomorrow.

[crundell]

Big hugs to you and your daughter. I am glad to hear Disney has stepped up to help you. I hope you two can still salvage your vacation and enjoy this time together.

Glad you listened to your gut! I hope she gets feeling better soon! It's so scary having sick kids.

I am the op. I couldn't get logged in earlier. I haven't read all messages but here is where we are at. My gut told me something more was going on and we needed help. I'm extremely glad I listened to my gut. We were brought to the hospital and she has a super flu that had her so dehydrated she needed 3 bags of fluids. The flu caused a massive UTI as well and she had iv antibiotics. They figure by Monday she will be back to herself. Disney is taking care of us. Put us in akl club level so she can get better and I have easy access to some food. Hoping by tues we can salvage and go take slow days at the parks.

Mother's intuition is generally right.

Hoping she is feeling better soon. You need to take care of yourself too. Try to get some rest.

So glad everything is starting to get better.

Now I'm

Stranded at the hospital. No taxis available for 2 hours. I just want to get back to the hotel. I'm so exhausted, hungry and have no ride. I want to sit and cry.

That sucks. See if the gift shop has a deck of cards. Normally in hospitals there are nice places to relax, you two can play cards and relax while you wait for your ride.

Wish I was there and able to help you out in anyway possible, all we can do is send some pixie dust your way! Please let us know how things are going, and feel free to pm me even just to vent out as I would be happy to listen and help anyway possible!

Apparently there is an AKL van on its way! OMG this is a nightmare. No one really speaks English here and barely understands us. I feel like I'm in a foreign country not the USA.

There is a shuttle the resorts use that will pick you up. Call the front desk at the resort.

So sad for you guys. How old is your daughter?

It's such a bummer how these things happen sometimes. It makes you wonder, why now???

Van should be here any minute I think. I haven't eaten all day. I'm starving and need bed. This is not a good day. Can only get better right? It's prez weekend and I'm praying we can even get a room. Hospital bill $6000. I had to pay $1400 up front. Insurance reimburses. Let this be a lesson. Always keep a $5000 EMPTY card or have that cash available when traveling. My refund won't be instant, but I have enough savings to cover a week at akl with dink g and tix if she gets better, plus the med bill.
