Wow gents thank you all so very much from the bottom of my heart. I had debated whether to post my problem in the community or not but thankfully others have made that decision for me and I am very glad they did.
In my younger years, I have lived a life where I would wake up with several thousand in my pocket to a few days later collecting change from my pockets and car so I know how life can be and didn’t want to bring any obligation to the community to help which is why I was doubting if I even should mention anything. I didnt want to put anyone in any situation. There are times we can help and there are times we want to but simple can't and I understand that better than anyone else. There, I think that is what I wanted to get across lol.
Just when we started to think and slowly accept that there is nothing more we can do for our little girl, light shines in the darkness and the impossible becomes so possible. I cannot express the feeling of being part of a community that truly comes together in time of need and am now even more proud to be a part of it.
I have learned that the financial help is only a part of the help that is needed at a tough time. The other part is having support from friends and family. Receiving emails and messages from mates of the community really helped so much. It was a moment to plug from the craziness and enjoy reading warm wishes and prayers so thank you all so very very much.
We received help from all over, some places/people I had no idea existed and have no way of thanking them so if you do know someone from a different site or board or page or ribbit or riddit or something, please pass along my thanks. I believe my wife has the ability to comment on each participant on the gofundme page but I also want to thank everyone personally and as I said the financial help is only part of the help we received.
Sorry if this is a bit confusion but my head is all over the place lol. It all happened so fast that we weren’t really prepared. My boss told me to take all the time I need so that’s awesome and gofundme takes 7-10 days to transfer the funds so we are opening a bank account for Alisa and setting the transfer giving us some time to schedule a flight and organize a baby sitter for our 2 boys but looks like in a week or so we will be in St Louise. I posted on youtube, under LPLs video that if anyone is in the area and wants to come out for a coffee, let me know and we can link up because there will be a window between the flight there and the flight back. I know PickMe (not sure if he is on here) lives there and has already contacted me. I don’t have any details at this time but there are flights that fly you in the morning and take you back in the evening and that Is what we are planning. Depending on the dr schedule of that day, we could end up spending hours in the airport and I rather spend that time elsewhere lol. Lucky the Dr office is so used to clients flying in that they are prepared to fully accommodate our timing for the trip. There is also a chance that we may end up spending the week there but time will tell.
Now on to traveling, has anyone traveled with a baby/infant before? Can I bring the stroller onto the plane or does it need to be checked in? and how about the car seat? If the stroller does into the cargo bay, don’t I need to cover or wrap it so it wont get dirty? I imagine that area must be super dirty.
I think Ill stop here or this will go on and on lol. Sorry for the lengthy write. I have a million things in my head and trying to resolve them all lol, sounds like a bad idea but Ill keep you guys updated briefly.
Again thank you all so much!!!! Truly thank you!!!
PS. I will try my best to send a personal thank you to everyone I can but keep in mind some of the names that appear on the gofundme page are different that the names used here so if you dont get a PM from me, I just want to thank you!
