Gavin's Mom blogs:

Gavin has Mitochondrial Disease, in February he had major surgery in an effort to save him from frequent life threatening infections.

He may be small but he is a fighter. Gavin wished to go to DisneyWorld.

At the Magic Kingdom, Gavin was able to ride his first ride ever -- in his wheelchair! My heart melted as I watched him ride Aladdin's Magic Carpet Ride -- just like every other kid -- simply amazing.

Today, we started our day early with a private meet and greet with Mickey and Minnie as well as Goofy, Pluto and even Princess Belle. We then headed off to Disney Hollywood Studios where we started off with the Playhouse Disney live show where we saw all of our favorite friends including Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Handy Manny and Tiger and Poo. This was a big hit with Gavin, which was topped off with another meet and greet with all his favorites!



We spent our last day at the Magic Kingdom and it was just that – Magical. We started off in Tomorrow land where we rode the rockets up in the sky and then met the crew from Alice and Wonderland. Some favorites were the Winnie the Pooh ride, which they let us ride twice -- so cool, and of course the meet and greet with the Disney Fairies and Princesses. A little boy I know came out with many kisses marked all over his head. Gavin's sister, Madison was so overwhelmed with excitement that she practically stood like a statue the entire time!

Early this morning we packed up and said our goodbye's to the amazing Give Kids The World village. This truly was an amazing place! Our every wish was made to come true -- allowing our family to find some joy amidst the many sad days we encounter. Seeing the smiles on our children's faces, knowing the fight for life Gavin is going through and the chaos that his sister endures, was more than overwhelming.

Thank you Make-A-Wish -- you have made our dream come true!
