She is adorable and has a good voice! Wish we could have heard her
standup comedy I bet it was great. I looked her up net and I found
several articles about her illness and having fundraisers to raise
money to modify her house and get a van. There was even was a
profile from her boyfriend in the late that something called live
journal. I wonder if he stayed with her, I hope so. It seems most
boyfriends don't and mine didn't. What do girlfriends do you guys?
Jim, Thank you so much for providing the video.

I felt like a kid at Disneyland. Don't know if you have seen that
Disneyland commercial where the little kid says "We're to excited to
sleep", that's exactly what it was like. I went to bed around 3am
then my nurse started getting me up at 6:30am so we would make it to
breakfast. No one wanted to miss anything. As one of the camp
directors said during the closing program, "sleep is overrated. you
can sleep when you leave camp."
They told me that was how Christopher Reeve traveled. The flight
nurse told me that we use the callsign Lifeguard, meaning medical
transport, so that we have priority status going into any airport.
Only 2 other aircraft have priority over that, Air Force One and Air Force Two.
Correct, I don't go out much at all. I did go to a meeting we had
here in Seattle a few years ago. That was the time my ventilator
stopped working in the van on the way home. I had to be bagged for
about 20 minutes until I made it home to my other vent. One of the
doctors mentioned that he was surprised when he heard I agreed to go
after that had happened before. I figured there was a backup vent on
the plane so there was nothing to worry about.
I got to meet another vent dependent quad due to TM. She is 17 and
just got sick a year ago. She was born just 10 days before I got
sick. She is awesome! Check out one of her videos.

She decided to sing at the talent show at camp, and also a "stand
up" comedy routine. I was laughing so much my eyes got teary.

Geez O Pete and ShaaaaaZam!
Reading your post was liking reading about a young kid going to
Disneyland, lol.
Glad you enjoyed yourself and feeling the experience on how
Christopher Reeve traveled several times a year, when he was healthy.
If I remember correctly, this is the first major trip you've taken
since TMA. Who knows the impact of your inspiration on those you
touched this year at VJG Camp, and those who attended.
I sincerely hope that you have more opportunities to travel
again. That had to be scary in the beginning, when you left the
safety and security of your home.
We want to hear more!
Best Wishes
