Saucer Summer Tour Part 9


Monday, June 11th, 2012

Mommy was up all night sick so we took our time getting started today.  We got to Epcot around 10:30am and went straight to Soarin’.  Next, as promised, we went to the Captain EO show starring Michael Jackson!!  The boys wanted to buy the movie and couldn’t believe it was so short J  This attraction came to Epcot in 1986 and they brought it back shortly after Michael Jackson died.  One of the people working there told us this would be the last year it will be open L  So glad we were able to see it again.
Next we returned to the Land to ride the boat through Living With the Land through the greenhouses and fish farm.  The exit is right by the entrance for Soarin’ so we hit that right one more time too.

On our way to Mission: SPACE we stopped to watch the new Jamminatiors street show of janitors that stomp and drum on metal trash cans.  It was a great show!!  Alan, Eddie, and Daddy got in line for Mission:SPACE.  Joey and Mommy went to get ice cream, but Mommy’s phone rang.  Daddy was calling to make sure we were at the ride exit because Alan was going to have to ride ALONE!!  We got out of the ice cream line and booked it over to the ride exit.  There was a climbing play area for Joey to play on while Mommy anxiously waited for Alan to come through the exit.  I was a bit surprised that Daddy and Eddie came through first and even more surprised to see the grin on Alan’s face when he finally came through!! 
Joey couldn’t get the ice cream off his mind so we all got ice cream for lunch and headed over to the innoventions area for the kids to play.  Mommy’s tummy was still giving her problems so she found a place to sit.  Alan and Eddie did the Sum of All Thrills and they can’t wait to upload the code online to see the movie they made creating their own adventure!!  Mommy was ready for nap time at the hotel, but wanted to get pictures with the characters and the space ball first.  We waited in line at the Character Spot for 40min to meet Mickey, Pluto, Minnie, Donald, and Goofey!!  Then we went toward the park exit to get on last family shot before Mommy and Joey went back to the hotel.  Alan, Eddie, and Daddy made their way through the countries at the World Showcase.  They had quite an adventure getting back as the monorail closed on them and they had to take some extra buses!!  Mommy and Joey laid down at 5pm and ended up sleeping all night!!

Pictures are HERE.

Old Maid in My Ear

Last week Alan said he put a popcorn seed in his ear at school. We took him to the pediatrician at the base and they tried to get it out with irrigation. While we were waiting for the referral my friend, Missy (a nurse), took him to her husband's office and tried to irrigate it out again. No luck so we had to wait for a referral to be approved to take him to a pediatric ENT. The closest one is in Pensacola and couldn't get him in until March 17th!! Again I called my friend Missy and asked for her recommendation on ENT doctors in town. She gave me her guy's name and I got on the phone with Tricare. It took lots of call transfers and time, but they could change the referral to Dr. Tran and he could get us in yesterday. Dr. Tran was unable to remove the popcorn seed in his office, but they could get Alan in for surgery first thing this morning to remove the seed. Here is where I learned that anything requiring anesthesia is called surgery. They were going to put Alan out so he...

Daniel's Surgery

It's 1:30am and been a very long day. Daniel's surgery was pushed back quite a bit today and we are just getting home from the hospital. The doctor gave us some neat pictures and I hope to get them along with all the details added to this post in the very near future. Thanks for all your prayers and please continue to pray for a speedy recovery. WARNING WARNING WARNING the following pictures are not for those of you with weak stomachs!!! Here is his Gall Bladder (everything here is normal) This next picture was explained with some big words. My teaching background kicked in so I rephrased what the doctor was telling me in words I could understand and he said I was understanding correctly. This is Daniel's colon an it should be able to move freely, but there is a spider web kind of forming around it trapping it. The doctor was able to cut it free. Here is Daniel's small intestine. It was getting caught up in the web as well, but the doctor was successful in freein...
