Re: Can you resend info on FLIGHT assistance for dr appts?

May 1, 2008

Here is everything I have information on as far as flight assistance

(btw, it's called Wings for Little Angels, info on it below):

Airline ticket programs for medical reasons:

Free Airline tickets from Continental Airline to visit doctor out of

state. If you are taking your child to see a doctor out of state, you

can order free airplane tickets from Continental Airline. They will

fly the child and one parent free. The program is called Careforce.

You will call Melia at 281-360-5314. All she needs is a note

from a doctor stating that you have an appointment on certain date.

Her fax number is 281-361-7114. You can use this program once a

year. ***NOTE*** This was posted in 2007. If you are viewing this

later, the name of the contact may not be the same but the program

should still be called CAREFORCE so you should still be able to speak

with someone.

Southwest also has a program, I haven't looked up the details but you

can find it out by calling them.

They work with all these other airline programs and if they can't

get tickets through one of the programs, they buy them for you.

Also, they will fly both parents along with the patient.

Go to _www.unlockingautism.org_ (http://www.unlockingautism.org) . On

the

left hand side of the screen you'll see Wings for Little Angels in blue

lettering. Clicking on it will bring you to an application.

Thank you so much!

My 6yr old is not perking up after his wicked virus

about a month ago. His teacher sent a note home

saying that he's late to his class every morning

because he walks so slowly and sometimes even stands

in the hall like he doesn't know what he's supposed to

be doing, and on the playground, he just sits under

the slide. He jumps on the trampoline a lot,

though! Thanks to Dr Klimas for having that

suggestion somewhere as a good and well-tolerated form

of exercise for CFIDS, or he wouldn't do anything.

,

That sounds like my son 5 years ago... I pulled him out of school, he was SO

spaced out. He did not appear to be sick. Dr. G. had been monitoring his

strep antibodies for probably 9 months prior to that... I called the

office... he immediately put him on erythromycin (but had to switch to

ERYPED a few days later due to upset stomach). He had a rapid and drastic

improvement. His teacher called me from school his first back to say it was

a miracle.

I know you¹ve dealt with strep a lot, but I just had to mention that this

sounds just like the manifestation in my son.

I hope you can get things figured out quickly. If anyone can, it¹s you!

Good luck.
