T...It just kills me to hear how Disney treated you. They really are not quite the magic kingdom anymore. Even here it's not what it used to be (so I'm told). Lynn, as for you...I don't blame you for wanting to hideout in your blanket fort!! I don't know how you do it but I know you're a mother, so that explains most of it. We just do what we have to. You are a wonderful mom, so don't forget that part and your daughter is going to be just fine after this surgery and rehabilitation!! Things will work out for Jack too. They always do. One day at a time. One hour at a time. One minute at a time if necessary. Just BREATHE!! Hugs lovely lady! xxBBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09432729957196570774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-610184634972072534.post-69540327244171268872016-01-17T16:46:57.495+00:002016-01-17T16:46:57.495+00:00You've really had a hard spell.

My daughter will eventually need on as well and it scares the shit out of me. Hope you get Jacks situation sorted out as well. You need competent caregivers ASAP! <br /><br />Sucks that your Disney experience wasn't all that it should have been. <br /><br />Take care. I'll be thinking about you and the kidsKelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14363876851539226250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-610184634972072534.post-36521444125807658002016-01-15T10:49:47.693+00:002016-01-15T10:49:47.693+00:00Blue Sky - we were in Disney last weekend and had ...Blue Sky - we were in Disney last weekend and had minimal hassle with the pass. BUT - Peter isn't in a wheelchair, so maybe it's a bit easier for us.<br />I think to an extent they pander, but Paris is much better than California in terms of getting the pass. We hada to bring along a letter from our GP (could be blue badge for car) and didn't have a problem. In california, i was told ANYONE could get a pass - it was discrimination against those who didn't have special needs<br />Hmph says me - so while California was good, we prefer paris.<br />It may also have helped that we were there just as the christmas season ended, so while the park was busy, not quite as many peopleJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00609645828842316013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-610184634972072534.post-63280636399102887212016-01-15T08:25:56.412+00:002016-01-15T08:25:56.412+00:00It's so sad to hear that about Disney - I had ...It's so sad to hear that about Disney - I had thought of bringing Smiley one day, but maybe it wouldn't work out (especially as I hate queueing).<br /><br />Good luck to Holly, and glad she didn't have to wait too long for the op.<br /><br />Huge hugs to you, it doesn't get any easier, does it? Hopefully the transition to adult services will work out better than you fear, especially the respite, which you all badly need xxLooking for Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10010049814419812468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-610184634972072534.post-30126039266911482722016-01-15T08:06:47.339+00:002016-01-15T08:06:47.339+00:00Lynne - i really wish i was nearer so i could help...Lynne - i really wish i was nearer so i could help you, but since i'm not, i'll be sending good karma vibes (and some chocolate) to help.<br />Pants about the Disney pass - we had hassles 2 years ago and were encouraged to complain about it by a cast member. I know you have a lot on just now, but if you get time - feedback to them might help.<br />It doesn't help when i say that our visit was magical last weekend apart from our cancelled flights on the way out and that idiot in the studio Park, but both were sorted very quickly, with the good karma gods helping us.<br /><br />Transition is a nightmare - and ours was a relatively easy one - you live in limbo, they make you wait, then they tell you that you're getting very little compared to childrens services - just at a time you REALLY need the help. I've always said it's like "go on, you're 18 now, you're normal". Disabled kids are cutsy for the "normal" population. Them kids grow up to be adults and it ain't cutsy . Lets face it, the world has known forever that the Jack's and Peter's of this world grow up and they are STILL surprised when they get to 18!!!<br /><br />(if you need a friend - i'm there - you know what i mean - may be under 5 feet tall, BUT........!!!!!!!!!!!)<br /><br />Will write you a letter at some point in the next few days.<br />Give Jack and Holly hugs from the mad woman and take care of yourselfJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00609645828842316013noreply@blogger.com
