Yay for dates!

Jmerch, yay! We will just miss each other.

Maroo, thanks for the new thread!

Jo, the stroller bags sound fun! I'm not a sewer, but there are so many fun ideas of things to make that I think I will give it a go.

I just posted in Jenna's PTR, but things are not going terribly well with our trip planning. We have been waiting for nearly two weeks to get confirmation that we can extend. I thought that we would hear something by now, even if it was just a verbal confirmation (it didn't take this long to get the wish approved and to get dates!). Second, I realized yesterday that the day we leave is Jenna's first ever dance recital, that she is very excited about. Of course, I am the one that gave MAW this date!! I feel awful. I have asked the wish granters to see if it would be possible to delay our trip one day, but I feel like that is asking a lot, so I'm not sure it will happen. Almost anything else and I would be ok missing, but she is so excited (of course she is more excited about the wish trip, so there is some consolation).

They do seem fun... Especially fun with the idea that I won't have to rummage through bags every time Ja wants a snack! She just never reset to normal eating after that first month of steroids.

Boo to the dance recital. I understand how big it is when they can return to activities and start doing normal stuff. Moving the date by one date (have you heard if the tickets are booked?) and the extension are two separate things, though. Don't be afraid to ask. It's worth a shot! If it doesn't work, will the recital have a dress rehearsal a day or two before?

Dr. Said she didn't think Talia would get much out of the trip, but she would sign off on it if I felt otherwise. I FEEL OTHERWISE!! Looks like Talia's back in the game.

AWESOME! I'm sure Talia will enjoy it and the trip also is an opportunity for your whole family to travel and make memories!

Taliasmom, I'm so happy for you! What a great day!!

I never ever thought about dress rehearsal, duh!! That will be just as fun for her. I am feeling so much better now! I am normally not such a worrier - I think that I just want to over compensate sometimes since she had to miss out on so much.

Well, THAT is understandable, with these kids its natural for us to over compensate. Dont feel guilty about it though, they deserve it. Dress rehearsal will be great ! What a week for her!

So getting a little nervous. We leave in 9 days and have our preliminary reservations, but haven't gotten our final paperwork. Still waiting on boarding passes, luggage tags, and the check! Our wish granters wanted to set up a little pizza party next Tuesday night and then we have his going away party next Friday night after we check into the hotel. Not sure if they will wait until then?? Oh well, we will just go with it! Trying to get more packing done and just mainly need to add last minute things. My grandma was admitted back into the hospital today, so I hope she gets out before we leave. Hope everyone has a great week, we are finally getting some spring weather!!

Your granters & coordinator have been so good though - my guess is that they'll give them to you Tues.(though I'd be anxious for them too). Are the luggage tags the DCL ones? Did you get your cruise documents? We did get our info packet & expense card (but it won't be funded until the day before the trip), but no mention of the cruise documents, and no response from the coordinator when I emailed her. Yay for having 2 parties coming up. Sorry your grandma is back in the hospital, praying for her.

Welcome home (although sorry you had to come home, lol)! Glad you had an amazing time and can't wait to hear more!

Happy Easter everyone! I'm just waiting for the girls to settle down so the Easter Bunny can come
So thankful to be home this year; Ja was diagnosed a few days before Easter last year so we were at the hospital. What a difference a year can make.

 

[angel's momma]

Dana - So glad you had a wonderful time. Looking forward to reading about it.

Jo - So glad that you can celebrate at home this year. We weren't inpatient last year, but are very happy we're not dealing with the issues we were at this time last year.

Home today with a sick lil M&M. DH was asking me about the rental cars and car seats. Do we have to bring ours or do they provide one?
