GUESS WHAT TODAY IS HAYDEN'S 2 AND A HALF YEAR BIRTHDAY!!!
For those of you who don't know why I am so excited about that my son Hayden was diagnosed in early March of 2007 with a very rare neurological degenerative disease called Krabbe. At that time we were told that we would probably only have about 6-9 months with him as the disease is usually terminal before the age of 2.
Well it is now July and we are going on 16 months since his diagnosis. And as of yesterday I finally got to talk with Make a Wish (they will not grant wishes to children under the age of 2 1/2.)
We have been fortunate enough to get Hayden to WDW three times now :mickey: and are planning a trip for his 3 birthday in January and hoping to ask MAW to get us back down there later this year. :mjump::goofy::figment:

But I can't thank everyone here enough that has sent us bags of pixie dust :tink:, prayers, and good thoughts he is proof that miracles do happen!! And here is to another 16 months!!:thumbsup:

Any news on what MAW said?
Hayden had a great 2 1/2 birthday filled with balloons and everything (of course Daddy here brought him a big Mickey balloon)

I talked to MAW and they are going through the process. They have to talk to his doctors and make sure he qualifies and then they will send a couple of voluteers out to talk to us about his wish. As we go through the process I will keep you informed.

Thank you all so much for all the Happy Birthdays and pixie dust they added so much to our celebration.

Hayden even got a present from Mickey himself. Deb an executive with guest relations that I had spoken with several times about our last trip and all the great experiences we had (and about the two things I thought needed improvement) sent him an 8 x 10 of Mickey in front of Cinderella's Castle personally autographed by Mickey himself.

So the magic continues to flow. Thank you all again so much I am so glad I found intercot!!!
