Psoriatic arthritis

[DisneyFun-atic]

Our DD is currently being treated for Leukemia.

We just got back from a trip to the world and even though I was extremely nervous about taking her on the plane and exposing her to too many germs, we had a wonderful time and fortunately no complications.

I did purell our entire row on the plane and spray down our hotel rooms with lysol. Also put a high chair cover on the high chairs at CS restaurants and constantly cleaned all of our hands with purell. The trip worked out really well for us and we'll be going again in August.

[Mrskreamer]

I have Hasimoto's Disease, obesity, knee and back pain.

Please add laryngectomees (voice box has been removed, which means not only can't they speak the "traditional way" and require an electronic device or TEP prosthesis, but more importantly, they breath through an opening in their neck) and people with feeding tubes/PEG tube. My husband was treated for tonsil cancer in 2006 with chemo and radiation, resulting in his throat closing up requiring total reconstruction and laryngectomy this past Fall. He needs a private area to feed via the feeding tube, and also to clean his stoma (the opening in his neck), often requiring suctioning. Where would he go to do these things?

Another round for ya.

DS 8 ADHD and Autism

A quick tip for folks with this combination, My son used to use the headsets and was always pulling them off and on due to the muffling affects. Then after a trip I made on a very long flight I got noise canceling headphones that knock down the really loud stuff, but regular sounds come right in. These cost me about $50 and we now have a spare set that I always carry on trips.

Autism: My 17 year old son
Developmental Dyspraxia: My 5 year old son
Gluten casein intolerance: both boys
Sensory Hypersensitivities : both boys and husband
We're going to see how the boys do on their diet for our upcomming trip in September. I'm a little worried, but it can't be worse than other vacations we've taken. I've heard lots of good reports about Disney and gluten free dining.
