Wicked

Max is my kid that is so well rounded.  He loves the theater and couldn't wait to go see Wicked.  Shelby went with him as his "date".  They look so good all dressed up.  The suit is a gift from a wonderful family we know.  R has transitioned to female and she graciously donated some of her old clothing to Max. :)

GREATEST Gift

I can't even put into words how very blessed I feel.  I often hate to use the word blessed, as often people use it to describe something their God has given them.  I'm sure my very intelligent son Max who seems to be a master at vocabulary would be able to describe it differently.  For me, since I don't believe in a specific higher power will use the dictionary description.

4.  blissfully happy or contented.

With this, I have to say as a family we have met the most incredibly supportive, loving and unbelievable people we have ever encountered.  This journey, I knew would create a special bond with people that don't conform to most of society's norms, but what we received is really the deepest, truest love we have ever been subject to.  

With that, tonight my son received a countdown chain.  Not discounting the group of guys/gals that came together to do one for his T countdown day.  I'm so completely touched, that any group of people that would take time out of their VERY busy lives.  Believe me I've been in awe to how hard these folks work to just survive in this thing we call life.  Some have been with us the whole journey, some have just met us along the way, and some not even directly related to our new "circle of friends".  They banded together to make a chain, and a very amazingly constructed surprise party, for Max and his countdown to surgery day.  I do have to send a special thank you to a super special QF who truly has deserved her Ally of the year award!!

 

Flights and final preparations.

Booked our flights to San Fransisco today.  I feel accomplished.  I keep going through the paperwork, looking at each date I have to have each payment to one thing or another for this surgery.  I don't want to be the loser mom that ruins it somehow making it impossible for him to have it.  I called and confirmed with the nurse today to make sure I'm dotting all the I's, crossing all the T's.

I  booked the coming home flight, first class.  I think it will be more comfortable for a healing boy, as well as more room and less lines to stand in.

Oh and on a greater note.  My affirmations have come true, we DID come up with ALL the money needed for all aspects of this trip and costs of the surgery.  I'm truly amazed that we managed it, but truly believed it to be so!!!

Excitement is building!!!
