Well, the best laid plans...

For the last 14 months I've been planning a week-long WDW trip for my 74yo DM who hasn't been in over 30 years. Arranged BWV (with walking/scooter access to 2 parks) at 11 months out, ADRs made at 180 mark, tours, scooter rental, airfare, MVMCP tix, etc etc etc.

Mom had a prolonged near-death ICU stay 2 years ago with overwhelming infection but had recovered amazingly and had even moved into a new home about a month ago. Monday (2 weeks prior to WDW trip) she became delirious and now is hospitalized again with widespread infection from who-knows-where.

Worry for her health is primary of course, but you people of all people can understand the disappointment of over a year's worth of planning falling apart like a house of cards. 2 years DVC points lost, DS and her DH and 2 kids lose their vacation, my and DGf's 1st time off in over a year most likely spent visiting Mom, no MF or TSM meet now after the big sign-up race and waiting list rescue from Pete's supporters, blah blah blah. You get the idea.

I don't know how/when any of us will get to WDW anytime soon. If/when Mom recovers, I may still try to get her down there but Christmas with the whole family probably will never happen now.

Sorry for the length. Just a bit of venting. I don't know about Susan (MerriePoppins), but I may not be around for a while. Not sure I want to think about Disney this week. Hoping all have a blast at TSM. :goodvibes

Oh no! I'm wishing for the best! Pixie dust from me!
 
Oh Jason...I am so very sorry...

We've got an awesome group of friends here. If you need anything at all...a shoulder to lean on or an ear to vent, just holler.

I'm sending along truckloads of pixie dust and please know that you guys will be in our thoughts.

Hang in there and please don't be a stranger. {{{{{hugs}}}}} for both you and Susan...:grouphug:
 
OH J/Kim, I am so sorry to hear this. Lots of positive thoughts and pixie dust headed your way.

:( I am so sorry this happened this way. I know it hurts! I pray they find something out fast and fix it. I know it happened when they get infections and a lot of times it is a UTI... but I would think they would check that first. Sending some :wizard: :wizard: your way. Wish I could make it better for you!!
 
I am so sorry to hear that. I hope things work out. We will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers.
 
Oh, wow, Jason...you can't believe how sorry I am that this is happening! I really hope your DM gets better soon, and your life can get back on track.

We'll be here, WDW will be here, and there will be more events to get excited about. We'll be thinking about you. I'll have a rum-laced Dole Whip float for you if you can't make it here.:hug:
 
Oh no! I am so sorry for what you are going through. Take care of your family and we'll be here ready for your return.

Pixie dust to you and your family!
 
I totally understand what you mean about the plans gone awry, etc. We had a vacation planned, adrs, Cindy's breakfast, Illuminations cruise, - checked into OKW, then found out my dear MIL had passed away. We left my son and his family there but it was just so sad for us. My thoughts are certainly with you - I hope you get a diagnosis - soon...:grouphug:
 
Ahhhh Jason/Kim, I am so sorry sending love, prayers and pixie dust your way...

:grouphug:
 
We are here for you Jason.

Please keep us posted.

Our thoughts are with you and your family.

Jason/Kim, I'm so sorry to hear about this. All my best to you and your family. I know how disappointed you must be.
 
Jason...my thoughts are with you and your family. You will certainly be missed....:grouphug:
 
I'm sorry to hear about your DM. We're here whenever you need to share/vent/escape whatever.
 
J/Kim,
We were looking for you in chat last night. So sorry to hear about your DM, my thoughts and prayers are with you and her for a full recovery. keep us posted.

Kim
 
Hey Jason - I am sooo sorry to hear about your mum. I was only thinking I hadn't seen you about last night :hug:

I know how much cancelling a trip hurts - we had to do it a few years back when DH mum was taken into hospital :confused3

Just take care of yourself and your family - we are all here for you :)
 
J/Kim,

I am so sorry to hear about this. I will lift you all up in prayer. I hope the best for you all.

Let us know if there is anything we can do to help you.

Thanks,

Chris
