I just thought I would share our exciting news. As most of you are aware we had booked a family vacation in the Spring to Maui and three days prior to leaving we had to cancel as Karter's condition changed thus not making him qualify for out of country medical insurance. We have been looking forward to taking the trip ever since he was through his surgery but just did not find the right time. We feel a vacation is well overdue with all that has been going on this past year.
With the possibility of further testing or treatments for Karter's Epilepsy and with his current stable condition, we felt we had this small window of opportunity to take this trip with him. He does qualify for insurance at this point so we thought "why not?".
We will be leaving on Monday September 10th and heading to Seattle to stay the night there. We then fly out on the 11th and return on the 25th. As you can imagine we are very excited. We have bathed this decision in prayer and have asked for guidance when making the plans. The other night I asked God to close doors and put obstacles in our pathway if we were not to go. All I can say is it has been smooth sailing since we decided to go. We booked everything and have felt such favor in all the bookings. We got an amazing price on our flights and our rental car and we are renting a condo there from someone we know, who is giving us an amazing deal too. So we feel blessed and anticipate a wonderful trip as a family. My parents will be joining us on the trip. They have never been to Maui so we will play tour guide to them, should be loads of fun!!!
We ask that you please pray for us that nothing would change in Karter's condition prior to leaving or while on vacation. We have asked the Lord's protection and favor for this trip and we ask that you just keep us in your thoughts and prayers as well.
We will update the blog as much as we can while we are away, but if we don't you know we just got too busy having fun! :-)
If you read our family BLOG as well, you will see this post there as well, we just wanted to share it with everyone, so excuse our redundancy.

Hello Char,
What an exiting trip! Are you all packed and ready to go? Are you all good with shorts, because I have a few bigger pairs of shorts Carter could borrow ... How did the hats from Seattle fit Carter?
I hope that your trip is wonderful and that all goes well. We're praying for you all.
Kim
