It's been a whirlwind 48 hours but things have fallen into place - we're going to DisneyWorld on March 20-26th! Needless to say we are extremely excited!
To make a long story short Anya's doctors have determined that we should make the trip now because they do not anticipate that Anya's counts will have recovered enough to start treatment by next week anyway. This is ideal as it means that Anya will not be on any chemo while in Orlando and won't be suffering any after effects of steroids (two of our former concerns).
The Wish Granters from the Make-A-Wish Foundation just left our house after debriefing us on the coming trip. They also brought a few goodies including a princess crown & sceptor for Anya...and of course, we'll get a set for Esther too.
Here are a few highlights of our trip:
- A limo will pick us up and take us to the airport in Detroit.
- We'll fly non-stop to Orlando and be taken via shuttle to Give Kids the World, an exclusive resort designed specifically for Make-A-Wish kids. We'll enjoy swimming pools, complimentary breakfast and dinner, and unlimited ice-cream.
- Once there we'll receive passes to all of the Disney parks and SeaWorld and shuttle transportation to get us to each location.
- We also received a generous check for spending money to cover our lunches, souvenirs, and any incidental costs that come up while we're there.
- Upon our return to Detroit a limo will bring us back home again.
Our family is so excited to be going on this trip. After the Make-A-Wish people left we all danced around the living room for a while singing, "We're going to Disney World!"
We are so thankful to God for providing this for us and working out the details. We're also thankful to all of you for your prayers and of course to those who donate to Make-A-Wish in order to help families in need to make their dreams come true. We can't wait to go on the trip and share our memories and photos with you. Until then we've got a lot of work to do to get ready for a week away. Praise the Lord!

Israel & Anna,
This is awesome news! I praise God for this blessing in your lives! Have a GREAT trip, enjoy the sunshine.
Even though I've hardly seen you since you've been in Toledo area, I will miss your being so close when you go back to KC.
To me, it's interesting to hear about your interactions w/the health care team as I am up to my neck right now in nursing school....I am remembering you in my prayers. (And I'm praying that God will strengthen me to become a competent nurse!)
Love and care,
Alycia <3
Alycia, I'm sure that you will make an excellent nurse. May God give you the wisdom, compassion, and strength you need!
