Disney Trip

We are back from Disney! It was a trip we will never forget. After "A" being sick on Thursday , I woke up at 1 AM on Saturday sick ugh!! I was much better by that evening, so we were still planning on going to Disney.

This was the original plan:

Sunday: Travel to Orlando pay for round trip shuttle to take us to the hotel. We checked in around 1:00 am.

Monday: Get up at 6am spend all day at Disney.The hotel had free shuttle to and from Disney leaving the hotel at 7:50am & 11 am,and bring you back to hotel at 9:45pm

Tuesday: get up at 4:00am to leave for airport. Shuttle had to pick us up at 5am. So we could be at the airport on time.


As we were going to sleep Sunday in the hotel about 1:30am Darin said "My tummy is upset."

I replied "Take some medicine now!"

I brought left over nausea medicine left from "A". He choose not to take any! Thirty minutes later he was getting sick. Darin has a sensitive stomach if he is off his normal routine his stomach doesn't feel good. This is what he thought was going on! From two in the morning until five or so in the morning he was getting sick about every 30-45 minutes!

I did not get any sleep and was feeling so bad for Darin. Finally I feel asleep and I wake up to Darin saying "Sarah call an ambulance now!" I knew he was sick,but I didn't feel like I needed to call 911. I go to the front desk. I know, why didn't I just call the front desk?! I don't know working on only one hour of sleep, I was so not myself and frazzled!

We get a taxi and the driver is parked on the other side of the hotel and walking to our room. I yell down the way at him. "Drive over here and get us please." He does I get Darin loaded in the cab with an ice bucket just in case. Then the driver says I need to do paperwork it will take five minutes. What did he just say?? I need to do paper work I don't think so!

ME: "No you need to take us to the ER NOW!!"
Driver: "Oh, this is an emergency."
ME: "Yes, please take us to the ER now."

Pay the taxi get Darin in the ER. I fill out all the paperwork they ask Darin some questions and then take him to a room. The doctor did not even see him and they are already getting an IV going for him.They had to use a needle that they use for two year olds on him to get the IV going. The poor guy looked horrible! They gave him two bags of fluids and nausea medicine and a few other things to help settle his stomach down.

While Darin is busy getting his fluids, I thought I will see if we can fly out on Wednesday.I call the airline they wanted almost $500 to change the flight! I then call Darin's sister Kim she can always find good air fair. Carl her husband is a pilot they offered us buddy passes to fly standby. Great, looked like I would get a day at Disney after all. Kim checked flights for us and we would not be able to leave until Thursday. We couldn't stay till Thursday, that's two more nights at a hotel, meals and we just couldn't afford to do that.

Two hours and a half hours later I pay the $100 copay to the ER and have three prescriptions to fill. Darin is feeling better but not 100%. Darin said lets still go to Disney it won't be all day but we can still go and enjoy six hours.We can pay a taxi to take us to Disney and ride the shuttle back to the hotel at 9:45pm.

About 3pm I called for another taxi to take us to Disney. We went to MGM saw a parade and watched the Indiana Jones stunt show. Darin was looking very pale again. I could tell he was not feeling good. While watching the show it starts to down pour. I thought ok it can rain while we watch the show, it will be done raining by the time the show is over with. It did stop, but I could tell Darin was not feeling well at all. I told him let go back to the hotel. We stopped by the gift shop and got the kids something and I got Darin and I t-shirts! If nothing else I was going to get a shirt out of the deal! On the way to get yet another taxi to take us back to the hotel so Darin can rest. While walking out to the taxi, it starts to down pour again! Everyone is running to there cars Darin and I walk.

We get back to the hotel around 5:30 PM. Darin takes a hot shower and crawls into bed and sleeps. Great now what an I suppose to do? Nothing is close by to walk too. I'm not paying for another taxi and I couldn't leave Darin. I went to the restaurant in the hotel and ordered dinner and a strong drink! I felt so bad for Darin and he felt so bad about not being able to finish Disney. Went back to the room and did some of my bible study. About 7:30pm Darin woke up for a little. We were both asleep by 8:30pm.

Wednesday we left for home. Darin was still not feeling good. We had a two hour layover in Atlanta. Darin started to look a little better. We arrived back in Wichita at 12:30pm. We visited with Darin's parents for a while. When we left Darin said he was hungry, and wanted Cinnamon's Deli.Yeah, he wanted to eat! He is feeling much better now.

Thank you to all of those who were praying for Darin while all of this was going on. It was a trip we will never forget!

We will go back to Disney sometime just don't know when.
