... A Jedi during Star Wars Weekend!
We found out last May that Trev will be receiving a wish through Make A Wish. It has been very hard to accept the fact that he even qualifies. He has been doing so well right now that we tend to "forget" all that he has gone through. I have always had it in my head that it is for kids with terminal illnesses. After talking with the wish grantors that is what it USE to be when it first started. Now they grant wishes for kids living with life threatening medical conditions which Trev does have. I found out that most kids who receive wishes go on to live healthy lives.
We met with our wonderful wish grantors back in June. They brought a small gift for each kiddo which was wonderful. Scott and I filled out a ton of paperwork while one wish grantor spoke with Trevor. They asked him all kinds of things from his favorite color, food, restaurant, sports. Trev's official wish is to be a Jedi during Star Wars Weekend. He is just mildly obsessed with Star Wars :) His back up wish was to go to Lego land.
Right before Trev's birthday we found out his wish was granted. What a wonderful birthday present! Now we sit and wait for dates for Star Wars Weekend to be announced... Finally, a couple days before Christmas dates were announced! After the New Year we were once again contacted by MAW to figure out some dates we may want to go. Now we wait again to hear when we will be going :)
It has taken us awhile to accept the fact that he qualifies. We are now starting to get excited and we are very honored that Trev is being blessed by such a wonderful organization! Between Kara's surgeries and Trev's extra cardiac tests it really has become a blessing and gives our whole family something to look forward to besides hospital visits and surgeries.
