Continental problems

There are some problems with our air fare. I need you to pray that this will all work out, that God will give us wisdom in what decision to make and that I will have the right words when talking with the airline people.

After I talked with Continental Airlines I don't even know how many times, and was assured by their "oxygen desk" that we could do on board oxygen for a fee of 100 per plane we booked the tickets to China. Then - AFTER BOOKING - I called them back and guess what - the people on the oxygen desk failed to check to see if they could do on board oxygen to China...they can't. So here are our options...

1. Book with another air line - Northwest is the next best but instead of tickets being 900 each they will be about 1700 each! Plus have more stops and longer layovers.

2. Take 15 batteries for the oxygen concentrator - each battery weighs 5 pounds! I found one company who will actually get this many batteries for me and every other company told me no. This means that instead of my oxygen concentrator costing me $750 it is going to cost me $1,265 and Mom and I will have to lug 75 pounds of batteries around in the airport on top of all Dillon's other equipment.


However, the catch is that the people on the oxygen desk are telling me I am not allowed to use Dillon's oxygen monitor (even though they didn't know what this machine was until I explained it to them). That I cannot even turn it on on the plane. I have been on 4 different planes with this before and never had a problem. I even have a letter from the manufacturer saying it is safe for flying. If I can't I am planning to get a handheld one as backup to at least do spot checks with.

Then they told me I can't use my suction machine! I can NOT fly with them if I can't use my suction machine on a 13 hour flight. I have to be able to clear his airway! I mean seriously - could a little suction pump really produce electrowaves? Maybe, but highly unlikely and I have used it on 4 planes with no problems. I do have a letter from that manufacturer as well stating it is safe - so we'll see what they say.

The manager asked me "You really have to use it while your on the plane?!" Clearly she has NO clue what a DISABLED child's life is really like. There is NO way Dillon can go 13 hours with out being suctioned. I told her I also have a battery operated nebulizer I need to have with me and she asked me "Doesn't he has an inhaler he can use instead?" I had to explain that "No - my son does not have the mental or physical capability to use an inhaler it has to be a nebulizer." She replied "Oh my son has one so I just wondered." Why would a person on the OXYGEN DESK not be capable of understanding that if I am flying with a three year old with SEVERE disabilities I would not be taking things that I don't need to take and that he does not compare to flying with your healthy child?

She then said to me "I just wish you would have given us more time." (Apparently their 48 hour required notice must not please her since I am giving them 20 days notice and that isn't enough!) So I politely as I could informed her that if her people on the oxygen desk knew what they were doing she would have had a whole week more. And that I am fund raising this money and I didn't have it any sooner. I explained that Dillon needs these treatments so I am also not wanting to wait here for extra weeks with the money and not going.

I really am so frustrated with Continental that if I can get permission to use my equipment I will fly with them this time...but I don't want to ever fly with this air line again. If we ever go back to China for more treatments I will plan to raise extra to be able to fly with Northwest - a company that seems to have a much more cooperative attitude in dealing with a child with severe disabilities. Northwest was even going to let me plug my machines in if needed while flying - they told me I could bring an extension cord if I needed to make sure we could use a power source. In the future, and for anyone else traveling with a disabled child/person, I would so far recommend Northwest BY FAR above Continental I just don't have the extra $3,500+ to do it this time.

Please just pray for me, I have to make sure I keep my attitude right even though their actions and comments (several other things have happened with them that I have not even put in here) have not been the nicest let alone professional. I am trying to get this worked out so that we can go the cheapest way possible. I know Satan is working hard to get me discouraged and worried. I am trying to remember that God is capable of working all these things out, and how much more it will be to HIS GLORY when all the details do get worked out despite Satan's attempts to sabotage our trip.

So....Keep praying!

Pictures of where we are going!

Hello Everyone!
Sorry for two posts in one day...but these were pictures just recently sent to me of the place we will be going to and I thought you all would like the visual as much as I did!

Main Entrance

Physical Therapy area

Common Kitchen where Mom K and I plan to do most of our cooking to save money on food. The Chinese food is cheap - but they said some people don't like it so we will see!

Dining area

Bed room - we will have one bed for Dillon. One bed for Mom or I and a couch that some people sleep on. Or one of us can try to sleep beside Dillon in his bed - highly unlikely but we will see what works for us. Plus they are putting a crib in for JayDonn. They said it will be a tight fit in the room - even though they upgraded us to a "VIP" room ...but it is worth it to not have to leave my Jay behind for 31 days!

Common Bathroom...hey I had to share a common bathroom in college and sometimes at the Ronal McDonald house so oh well.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures - of course once we get there we will be posting a lot more pictures.

Stem Cells videos!

These are videos of other people who have had this treatment....watch them all and you will see WHY we are doing what we are about to do for Dillon!! Just click on the links below (if the don't work copy and paste them in):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-Rj_rvBLZ0&NR=1 A man sees his family for the first time after being blind for 22 years!

These two are of a little girl named Dakota:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYS3_qSTvso&feature=related little boy with CP

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKVsWodUCuM&feature=channel_page little baby girl with CP

So if you are still wondering why we are trying this - I promise if you watch these videos you will at least understand why we are doing this!

I have been thinking about this. When you are pregnant you look forward for nine months to see your baby, to see your baby look at you, to hear your baby cry, to see the first smile and giggle, to see their personality, to see the first roll over, the first time they sit up, to see the first crawl, the first step. I feel like I'm still pregnant....I'm still waiting. I have been waiting for all these things with Dillon for three years plus the nine months. I am praying this trip will allow me to have one of these "first" with Dillon. To have him look at an object like Dakota, or to improve enough to be able to be mobile, or to look at my face and know that I am his Mommy, or something!

We are getting very very close, we are continuing to go head with the plans for leaving July 28th. We don't have all the funds yet, but if God brought this much in so far He isn't going to leave us hanging. This means we leave in 22 days! I am getting nervous, but I keep reminding myself of the song lyrics, "The Will of God won't lead you where the Grace of God can't keep you!" and I KNOW God is leading us to China....

All to the Glory of God!

Well today is a day I don't think I will ever forget. We went to the bank this morning and wired the remaining amount for the treatments to China! Praise the Lord! Who would have ever thought that $26,300 would be donated so we could do these treatments! Especially in just a few months! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS HELPED MAKE THIS POSSIBLE!

We are not completely done yet, though. We still need the plane tickets, the on-board oxygen, oxygen concentrator, traveler's insurance, visas, etc. So we still need to raise about 5,000 more. A friend helped us find tickets tonight. (we don't have enough to book them yet though) Leaving from Newark NY and DIRECT flight into Beijing! Only a 13 hour flight! And for only $972 (plus bags). Thank you Dave!


Now are some decisions we have to make soon. I just found out that JayDonn is allowed to go with us. I thought this is great! It will be a lot more work, but I was thrilled. I thought his plane ticket would be free since he is under three. But tonight, when looking for tickets, I found out since is is not under 2 we will have to pay for him. His ticket is 800 plus his visa is about 200 and his travelser's insurance is about 140 totalling 1,140+.
We aren't going to use the money raised for Dillon for this since it isn't necessary for Dillon. But I really think it would be so much better for JayDonn than leaving him behind and having him wonder where Mommy and Dillon went for so long. Plus he would either be bounced from person to person which he doesn't really know to be watched while Daddy is working, or he would have to go to Ohio to be with my parents and be away from Daddy too. (My mom is having surgery and will not be able to travel here to stay with him. I know she would if she could and I appreciate that so much but it just isn't possible. But she is able to watch him there in Ohio)
When Jay went to be with family for 3 days he was so mad at me and wouldn't talk to me on skype or the phone. He took about an hour to hug me when he came back since he was mad at me for leaving him.

I guess, though, if I can trust God to bring in $31,000 for Dillon's sake - I can trust Him to help Josiah and I afford to take Jay with me if that is what is best for him. Is any one noticing that I am constantly asking for prayer to have faith and be able to trust God? You would think after all I have seen Him do that I would be able to trust Him for these "small" things....but I still need you to pray for me to have the ability to trust God to work it all out. Will you pray for me, please?

Long time - no post

It has been a long time since I last posted. A lot has happened. I will try to hit a few of the major things.

June 16, 2009 - Dillon's THIRD birthday! Happy Birthday my sweet baby! We were in WV with Josiah's family and traveled home on Dillon's birthday, but the day before we went out on a lake and had a birthday party with a cake and all. Dillon's birthday is always a mix of emotions for me. I am so happy he is alive! I am so happy he is doing relatively well. I am happy for every little step of progress he has made. I am sad, though. Sad for all the things Dillon can't do. Sad that he has to live in a body that is controlled by such a hurt brain. Sad that he has to struggle for everything in life - even his next breath. But I am rejoicing that he is in God's hands. Rejoicing that I know God has a purpose for Dillon's life. I know that God would not leave Dillon here on this earth, with his body the way it is, if He didn't have a great purpose for Dillon. So you see - June 16 is a day full of different emotions. This year, I choose not to dwell on the reasons to be sad and to only dwell on those that will make me rejoice. Also this year on Dillon's birthday the Pottstown Mercury published a wonderful article on Dillon's upcoming trip to China. To read the article go here

Or copy paste this: http://www.pottstownmercury.com/articles/2009/06/16/news/srv0000005588977.txt

June 17, 2009 – June 24, 2009 Dillon’s auction went well! As I said, once all the money comes in we will have raised about $1,100! I think this is a great success, especially since we threw it together in about a week’s time! Thank you again Wendy, and her boss Jay for the wonderful idea and getting this started!

June 22, 2009 – My 24th birthday! Lori – one of Dillon’s volunteers…and now a good friend! – took Josiah, Dillon, Jay and I out to lunch at Cheesecake Factory! YUMMY! She also brought balloons and other stuff with her. Thank you so much Lori! I am so thankful God brought you into our lives, not just because of all the things you do for us – and you do a LOT – but also for your friendship. Our nurse hurt her back and wasn’t able to be at work Monday, but she was back for Tuesday and also brought some very nice gifts for me. Thank you Robin – you are more than just Dillon’s nurse to us! My sweet husby brought home a dozen white roses for me! Thank you so much Honey, I love you!

June 23, 2009 – Dillon had two appointments at CHOP. GI went well – the doctor is fine with not putting Dillon on reflux drugs since we don’t know if he even has it. He doesn’t like that Dillon is throwing up some – but feels it is not often enough to consider the MAJOR surgery to fix his nissen. Audiology was an very good visit. We learned that Dillon’s left ear tube is functioning properly, but his right tube is not. It is either clogged or working its way out. She tested Dillon’s hearing anyways. During the test I had to hold Dillon so his breathing was as quiet as possible so as not to interfere with the test. The test sends tones in at different frequencies and measures the energy put off by the hairs in the ears to know if he is hearing or not. During the left ear, Dillon was cooing for the majority of the test, then he stopped and was quiet for the rest. She told me the test showed he was hearing 3 of the 4 tones, and it was the last one that he was not hearing. So I am pretty sure he was cooing when he was hearing!!!! Then on the right ear (with the tube not working right) he was quiet during most of the test and only cooed at the end. This test showed he did not hear the first three tones but that he did hear the last one. Dillon has never responded during a hearing test like this before!!!! This is a huge blessing! Of course, he is still not always responding to sounds, but if he did it once he can do it again! So please keep praying for his hearing!

June 24, 2009 – Two more appointments at CHOP. Seating clinic where they are going to start trying to get my insurance to pay for a stander, a chair, and a bath chair for Dillon since I have failed at getting them to do so. We’ll see…. He also had urology appointment. GRRR! Over two years ago I asked a couple doctors if the two bulges in Dillon’s lower stomach when he coughs were hernias. I was pretty much laughed off. I was told no. Even when I suggested that his nonstop coughing may be the cause. Well guess what? Dillon has two hernias that need to be stitched closed. He also needs some other urology surgery, but the doctor assured me he is not in pain and there is no rush for this surgery. So they are going to talk with ENT and try to schedule this surgery at the same time as Dillon’s next ear tubes/tonsil removal surgery. (Have I told you his tonsils were taken out right before he turned one and it grew back already? It is taking up half his throat again. And he doesn’t have any room to spare!)

And that bring us to today. Tomorrow is June 29, 2009 – JayDonn’s SECOND birthday! Happy Birthday my little man! JayDonn is almost fully potty trained. He doesn’t wear diapers when we go out of the house or anything. He only wears them at night. We have even stopped using them for nap times. He is such an amazing little man. He is such a big help to me. A few months ago he had over 100 words, so I can’t imagine how many he has now. He uses sentences, and is so good about saying “thank you Mommy” or “Thank you Robin” He even says “Bless you Mommy” every time I sneeze. JayDonn’s favorite toys are his “emals” (animals). He loves the little animals and ark my parents got him and plays with it every day. In fact he drives us crazy with it every day! :-) I am sure he will be left handed as he is still using his left for everything he does. Every night when I tell him it is bed time he gives Daddy, Dillon and Mommy hugs and kisses then we go upstairs and he reminds me “teeth!” Then we go upstairs and he tells me “diaper” and then “pray”. We kneel by his bed and pray and he says “amen!” then he give me “hug and kiss” and goes to sleep. In the morning, if I don’t have the gate across his room, he will come down from his third floor bedroom and say “Hello Mommy! Robin!” If JayDonn doesn’t want to do what I tell him I will say “Obey Mommy.” Then he will repeat it and then *usually* do what ever it was I asked him to do. Sometimes he sings “Obey Mommy! Obey Mommy!” for no reason….other than I think he hears it a lot! :-) Here is a video of Jay saying his Bible verse Click Here

JayDonn – you are a precious little boy. You bring so much joy into my life. I love you so much. I thank the Lord everyday for giving you to me. I can’t wait to watch you grow up into a wonderful man! Keep your sweet heart for your brother and others.

Auction is CLOSED!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR BIDS! DILLON APPRECIATES ALL YOUR HELP!

Online Auction for Dillon's Stem Cells!

I wanted to let everyone know that starting Wedensday June 17 at 9am until Wednesday June 24th at 12 midnight we will be having an online auction for Dillon's Stem Cells. A friend from church, Wendy, came to me about this idea. Her boss donated a week in Park City Utah at a ski resort. We also have a donation from another one of her friends in the form of a necklace she made. We have gift cards to different resturants, stores, facials, ice cream, etc.

I will get the details of all the items for the auction as well as the way it will work. But first...I wanted to let everyone know so anyone who is willing to help can. If you work someplace, go out to eat, go shopping, anything like that would you please ask them if they would donate a gift certificate towards this. You can give them:
my blog address (www.DillonsJourney.com)
my email address (DillonsJourney@gmail.com)
Dillon's story (you may want to print it if you don't have a copy - www.JosiahnTiffany.com/testimony_Dillon )
my phone number (if you don't have it and want it please email me)
my PO BOX (Dillon Kuenzi PO Box 1366 Pottstown Pa 19464)
Or if you would like to try to help email me at DillonsJourney@gmail.com and I will send you a letter I wrote on Dillon's letterhead.

Any gift certificates, or small products like Mary Kay, Arbonne, etc would also be a great addition to our auction. If you are unable to help in this way - would you please plan to spread the word. The auction will be done on my blog - so you can just tell people to stop by my blog starting Wed for the auction to help with Dillon's trip to China. Thank you so much!!


PS Did you notice that we are now up to $20,752.70! We need about 31,000 - we are getting so close! Thank you for all your hard work, prayers, and donations!
