Wishes Can Happen: Houston we might have a problem

Things were going really well, especially considering all the issues associated with taking three kids with Autism on a fifteen or twenty hour cross country car ride. There are a few things that have proven to be understandably problematic but that's for another post. Unfortunately, Elliott is getting sick and at present is running a fever over 101.1°F. I'm not sure it's anything more than a headcold or possibly an upper respiratory thing. He's coughing, has a runny nose, sore throat and the above mentioned fever. I'm not sure what to do about this because we don't want to expose any of these kids to something. Some of the kids here are obviously very sick and the last thing we want to do is pass anything along to them. I'm…

Wishes Can Happen: Legoland 2017

We made it to Legoland today and the boys had so much fun. Several parts of the park were closed, and the weather was kinda crappy but it didn't actually rain. ☺ It's pretty much an amazing place that awesome for kids and tales grownups back to their childhood.

I wanted to share the pictures from our Legoland adventures.. ☺ [foogallery id="66216"]

It wasn't until the next morning that we had had our first chance to actually see the ocean the way it was meant to be seen, up close and personal. ☺ If I had to summarize this experience in one word, I would first protest that to do it justice, I needed more words but then I would simply say amazing. It was absolutely amazing. The boys were in total awe. Emmett was particularly captived…

We’ve arrived at Give Kids the World (@GKTWVillage)

We finally arrived at Give Kids the World today. It was about a ninety minute drive from Daytona Beach, so it was a quick trip, relatively speaking. We're mostly settled into our amazing condo and I was able to crash for a couple of hours. I'll explain how everything works in more detail later on. For now, all that matters is we've made it safe and sound. Give Kids the World is truly unbelievable and we would be out exploring but Elliott's not feeling good and Emmett is incredibly overwhelmed after the last two days. My goal for our first day is to do absolutely nothing. I want today to be a day where everyone gets their feet back underneath them and we collectively decompress. It's abundantly clear that we…
