Trevor's Star Wars Make A Wish trip

[mommy2mrb]

Quick update. Allie does not need surgery!!!!! PTL!!!!

Kara is scheduled for June and she is overjoyed with having another one! This one will be just as extensive as the last. The growths are wrapped around her eardrum and bones.

We have been at children's all day and I am exhausted!

One more month till we are at GKTW!!!

Jackie

great news that Allie doesn't need surgery
hope Kara's surgery will go smoothly!
can't believe you are less than a month out

I know!!! It is getting so close! Kara is super excited for surgery. We rescheduled it for end of July right after Trevs birthday. That way he can have a beach party like he wanted.

I just realized today we only have one suitcase and one carry on! I better get moving and secure a couple more for our trip!

Jackie

good you could reschedule Kara's surgery!

if you'd like I have a large suitcase you are welcome to borrow! let me know and we can get it to you....bonus we would get to finally meet!

I have been looking on Craigslist for some. My sister is letting us borrow her carry on so that will help! You're right, I don't think the airlines would like it if we put everything in laundry bags When we camp we just through our stuff into reusable shopping bags. This will be the first time since the kids have been born that we need suitcases!

That would be great to meet up! We will be at Animal Kingdom and Magic Kindgdom too. Not sure on the days though.

Have fun scrapping!



That is a HUGE help having MAW take care of JTA for us! Since Star Wars is his actual wish I was really hoping that would be the case.

And May the fourth be with you!!!



Not much going on here. Kara is SUPER excited about her upcoming surgery! That makes it a little easier on us... I'm getting over a sinus/double ear infection... Hoping it is gone before the 1st when we fly out!

Trev has proven to be all boy these past few days... The day I had to take the girls to Children's for their check ups he rode the bus home with a friend. Apparently the mom got to the bus stop a few minutes late and the boys decided to play in the bushes and Trev got a nice little cut and bump on the top of his head... He neglected to tell anyone... The other boys did not say anything either even though Trev had been crying about it. They were then driven right to their soccer game as they had pictures beforehand. Trev was running and the boys were roughhousing as usual and Trev fell and landed on his water bottle on his chest. He of course did not say anything to me until AFTER he played soccer for an hour...

A quick call into cardiology to watch for symptoms and a few days later he seems to be fine. His head and chest are sore but that is to be expected. I told him next time he has to tell an adult right away. Special heart or not. No one should play soccer right after getting hit in the head like that! Ugh! This self regulation stuff is hard! I try not to hover but sometimes he makes it difficult!

The weather has been beautiful. Rare warm weather this early in the year, near 80 today and hotter tomorrow!... I think it is getting me ready for Orlando

Less than a month left!! So many emotions right now. Happy, sad, excited. We are very blessed to be going on this trip but sometimes I wish it wasn't because of Trev's medical history.

Trev's countdown party is in 2 weeks he and the girls are getting SUPER excited!! And so are we

Jackie

ouch on Trevor's falls, happy he is okay, must be hard for you not to hover.

sorry you haven't been feeling well, hope you're better before the flight, wouldn't be fun!

we were gone all weekend to NJ for friends DD Bat Mitzvah, but will definitely be enjoying the sun the rest of the week!

sure the kids are about the party, its going to be here before you know it!

let me know when you can about the suitcase, also have a large duffle bag that rolls, its not a problem to run it up to you!

A friend sent me this link for Star Wars weekend ads which are awesome and immediately thought of Trev's wish trip.

Eta: they all have the dates on them, so if that's still a secret maybe wait? Or print them out for the party.

Thanks for the offer to borrow a suitcase! I will let you know if I need to borrow it! Hopefully you are able to enjoy the sun! It was perfect at soccer tonight. I really hope this weather keeps it up at least through Mother's Day

My ears are still not any better after taking antibiotics and steroid nasal spray. Hopefully it will be all cleared up by the time we fly.. I can't believe we are under the 30 day mark!! It doesn't seem real as we have been waiting so long! I think once the kids find out the dates it will really start to sink in!!

I know that Disney will let you bring food into the parks anyone know about Sea World and Universal?

LOVE it!! Thanks!! I will definitely be showing Trev these once he has his reveal party next weekend. I can't believe it is coming up so fast!! Right now I am trying to enjoy my girls last couple weeks as preschoolers I didn't realize how close we are to Trev's trip!! 7 more days of preschool for my sweet babes and a month left of school for Trev and he will be a 3rd grader! What a perfect way to end the school year Although Trev will have 3 days of school when he gets back from Star Wars Weekend!

We found out today from our wish grantor that Trev's Star Wars day will be taken care of and we will find out more details right before we leave. I am glad they will be making arrangements for things since it seems like a very popular weekend! That brings the stress level down a bit! Especially since this is his actual wish. I would hate for him to miss out on anything!

think the rain is coming back in Saturday night its nice having the windows open and having some warmth!

sorry you're not feeling better, maybe you should get checked out again, flying with bad ears is not fun!

these last couple of weeks are going to fly by for you!

not sure, Tink will probably know though on the food question!

Thank goodness nothing came out of his bump on the head or chest.

The reveal party is this weekend? Give Trev a high five, eat some pizza and water melon for me and JJ.

So glad your day is taken care of! Please let me know when you know the details. We would not want to miss Trev doing JTA.

I'm starting to hear more from the wish grantors and plans are being made for trevs party and his Star Wars wish!! I found out today that some members of the 501st legion will be coming to Trevs reveal party!!!! How cool is that!?!

For the party we decided to make it easy and do cheese and pep pizza, juice, water and fruit. We will be receiving our flight info and shuttle info at that time as well. We will be getting the agenda for the Star Wars day right before we leave. I signed Trev up for the carbon freeze me he will be so excited!!!

We got JJ's play practice schedule. He has practice Mon to Friday June 3-7 from 5:30 to 8pm. Saturday the 8th no practice, and Sunday the 9th is an all day one, 1pm to 8pm.

 

[goteamwood]

Don't know if you're still I'm search of a rapunzel swimsuit but I got an email from Disney store than swimwear is 30% off. I saw at least 4 rapunzel ones starting at $15.

Will you beat the park earlier in the day on the 7th? As soon as we get our schedule for that day I will let you know. Probably around the 1st we will get it. Hoping it works out that we get to meet up!

Thanks!! I will check it out! I did buy her an Ariel one for now. She will only have a few weeks of swimming until her next surgery. I should buy the next size up for her though.

I asked the stage manager if JJ could have off that day since it's a day to distribute flyers to work places and not an actual practice. I have not heard back yet. Otherwise, yes, it would be in the late afternoon that we have to be at the theater, so we could be there first thing in the am.

 

[addictedtonostalgia]

Sorry I have been so MIA, I have been thinking about you all and getting excited because your trip is getting so close! The little thank you card from the kids is on the side of the fridge so I think of you guys when I see it. How long until the reveal party?

 

[Lilfoot93]

Welcome back I too have been busy and have fallen behind on everyone's PTR's!

The party is this Sunday!! My BIL and SIL arrive tomorrow night and will be staying with us. The kids have NO idea they are coming!!!

We leave in a couple weeks! I can't believe how fast it is creeping up!

We have someone house sitting for us so that will be nice not worrying about the house or animals.

I forgot to order trading pins so the kids have 2 each they can trade. That's okay though I'm sure they can find other fun things to do

We should get most of our info this weekend. It will probably start feeling real after that! Trev has been patiently waiting for a year! He had the chance to change his wish so he could go earlier but he wouldn't budge on Star Wars Weekend!!

I was looking at the extended forecast and it was mid 90's and chance of thunder storms... It is 60 and drizzly and partly sunny here... It will be a big shock for us!

This weekend I am gathering up all the kids custom clothing and packing it up so we don't forget anything or so they don't stain it! The kids have been wearing the clothes for weeks now and stain remover is my best friend

I need to go buy a few snacks for the plane ride and get some more sunscreen. I'm sure we will go through more in one week in Florida then we do the whole summer here!

Thanks again to everyone for advice, prayers for my kiddos and the gifts they have received! We have been truly blessed by you all!

Jackie
