The best laid plans....

Michelle and Mark along with Sydney and Kaitlyn left for the Orlando area yesterday morning for a week of rest and relaxation. Due to Sydney's food allergies they rented a vacation home near all the fun activities - that way they can cook the things she can eat. Got there fine - beautiful home - built in pool - Princess bedroom for Sydney - all the amenities! They enjoy their first partial day and evening. About 9:30 Mark gets off the sofa to lock up for the night - and bing bong his back is out! He made it upstairs but was in great pain all night. Michelle thought they would have to call 911 to get him back downstairs - but he managed to make it down the stairs and then use one of the strollers as a walker. Off to the hospital on Sunday morning. It seems that he has a herniated disc and pulled muscles - so they are having him enjoy a drug-induced happy party right now! The docs have cautioned him to not lift or drive, and to sit, lay or stand only short times. To visit Disney he will need a motorized wheelchair - since he cannot roll the wheels himself and Michelle will have 2 kiddo's under 3 to push too. Also Michelle will have to pack all those bags and get them down the stairs and into the van too - and yes, they had to bring 2 car seats and baby paraphernalia along with all the clothing for 4 people for a week!

All the plans we make......can change in a moment!

Praying that Mark feels better soon !!
