This is a very special opportunity for a family to have, and to enjoy,

it is a once in a life time opportunity, to fulfill a dream for a child

that has been struggling, fighting,living with an illness for so

long.... I am grateful we were approved, and hope this trip creates the

memories I am hoping for....

I am so happy for you Kathleen! I am tearing as I can feel your emotion. I'm

sure it will create those memories. Please share a bit with us when you

return.

Re: wishes

I hear you, as moms our perception and views are very different

from

anyone elses.. including doctors at times... I am not sure what

constitutes life-threatning illness.But the dx that got us the wish,

is

one I would not wish for at all.. it is a progressive, and fatal

disease without a cure....

I know that their are some other wish -granting organizations that

help

familes who ;s children live and struggle with chronic medical

conditions, and their are also private sponsers, who also help out..

with vacations, home stuff, playgrounds, etc... .

Thank You ... I hope Conan loves his trip,,,,, and the chance to see

Spider- Man

Warmly Kathleen

This is Great Kathleen!!

In 2002 at the age of 10 Blake was also granted a MAW Trip. He had

been so sick from 1997 to. 2001 & stayed in the hospital more than

he was at home. One yr....in 2nd grade, we were told to remove him

from the Private Christian School we were paying for him to attend

after he had missed 112 days out of 180 due to being in the hospital

(At that time, was sooooo hard headed tath he had to keep

paying to keep Blake on the roster!!! He knows now how dumb it

was...if only he had just put laek in the public system & the Dr.

could keep him on homebound til he got better......) due to

Osteomyelitis in the Temporal Bone of the ear His CVID with

Complete T-Cell Dysfunction did not allow his ear to heal properly.

He wound up on 10 different antibiotics in a 2 yr. period. All IV!!!

Finally after having the Radical Mastoidectomy & the bone at the

base of the skull being " scraped " to paper consistency, it somewhat

healed(still has issues). Blake has NO hearing in the Left ear due

to this surgery!!!

Blake also has a rare Blood disorder. he produces blood clots

instead of free flowing blood!!! he is on a mega dose of Lovenox 2

X's a day. However it was his Immune disorder along with the Blood

Clotting disorder that he got to go to Disney. But the one thing

the Coordinator asked Blake, " Do you know the seriousness of your

disease? " Blake told her he did & then added, " I know I can die at

anytime from EITHER disease! "

Where is Conan wanting to go? I am sure his little wheels are

turning daily!!! Blake first wanted to go to NYC & Climb up the

Statue of Liberty. He wanted to do something I had done when I was

in 3rd grade(I was born in NJ & lives on Staten Island straight

across from Lady Liberty & as a 3rd grader got to climb to the torch

with my classmates!!!!

But in the end, the Dr's said No due to all that was going on with

the 9/99 issue. Blake settles on Walt Disney World!!! We had a

BLAST!!! It was a time to forget the sickness, but a time to reflect

on the Grace of God for Blake still being here to take the trip!!!

Good Luck & I sure hope you can create lasting memories......I know

we did!!!

{mom to Blake, 14....CVID with Complete T-Cell Dysfunction, SDS,

Asperger's Syndrome, Genetic Prothrombin Defect, Protein C & Protein

S Deficiency, Severe Asthma, GERD......soon to be an 8th

grader...... & Thinks he knows EVERYTHING....lots left to learn!!!!}
