My son was just granted a wish thru MAW, well when we told him he would be getting a wish, Disney was the first thing on his list. We should be getting a phone call sometime next week for the volunteers to come out and ask my son what he wishes for.
I do have a couple of questions that maybe someone can help me on.
First, once they get the processed started, how long does it usually take to get your dates? Also do they do wish trips during school vacation times, ie for us our school vacation is the third week in Feb, which would be perfect for us ( as my son has already missed alot of school due to being in the hospital) or do those times fill up quick or is that too soon to be able to go?
Also my son is TPN ( IV food) dependant and also on daily IV fluids, is this hard to do if you were to stay a GKTW? Do they have medical people there or are you own your own as if you did not even go thru MAW? How is all of this stuff sent out there for the week, do I have to have it shipped out or will MAW do all of that for us? And last, would we be able to bring my sister as a third set of hands to help with my son? It would only be my son, my daughter who is 9, my son ( the wish child) who is 8 and my husband. Do you think they would let me bring my sister along as she helps us when she can with my son.
Just would like to know some of these before hand so I can ask questions and not look stupid....
Thanks again for any help on this.
