This morning, our daughter and two grandsons came home two days short of their seashore vacation;  Ryan hadn't felt well most of the week, and Jack's ear hurt.  (Jack went to Urgent Care and has an ear infection)   Ryan went to the ER in the hospital and is being transferred to another hospital...we just found out that he has type 1 Diabetes...😢

Maryann, terribly sorry to read about Ryan's new medical issue.  Just know that kids are very resilient.  He'll be fine.  Hope Jack's earache is now under control.  We as parents and grandparents ache for them, don't we?!

Not sure yet what my first cocktail will be, so many choices.   I do love my Mojitos but usually get something else for the first one.

 

A Pain Killer is not a bad choice for starters.😉🙂

@bobmacliberty  Creek Street, Ketchikan.  I tried to load a video of the salmon ladder and jumping fish, but I’m not the brightest crayon in the box when it comes to Apple products.  Also, views from the ship from my dining table.

Greetings from Skagway Brewery!

@harryfat1 OMG!  That was at least 600 calories I didn’t need🙀.

Beautiful pictures, Pat!

Sorry to hear that Ryan has Type 1 Diabetes.    How old is he?    I imagine it will take some time for him to learn the do's and don'ts.   Hopefully he will be home from the hospital soon🥰    Sending him and your family positive thoughts and prayers🙏

 

Now that Eric did his emed test (he wanted to wait until I got home from work to do so he didn't mess it up since it was our last emed kit).     All good to go and we can start packing tonight.    I did have some stuff laid out on the bed in extra room already as I had passed my test last night.

Thank you, Deb.  Ryan turned 13 in May.   I appreciate your positive thoughts and prayers for him.

 

For our last 2 cruises, I didn't completely pack until we had our negative tests.

 

LOL about Eric not wanting to mess up his emed.  I totally understand!    ( I may have messed up my ArriveCAN app when it came to downloading our vaccination info...I guess I'll find out when the 72 hour completion time comes)

 

Have a great time with Marietta and Charlie!

Very nice.  You made it to Skagway. We were diverted to ISP instead.

 

Enjoy your drink and have a great vacation.

 

Cheers,

Thanks!  We were originally scheduled for ISP and Dawes Glacier.  They cancelled those and added Ketchikan.  Oh well, definitely beats the view out of my kitchen window! 😹

I saw in a previous post 13yo. This will be a bit of a learning curve but diabetics these days live very normal lives. With continuous glucose monitoring devices and insulin pumps, etc. We have several diabetics in our middle school and when I am over there it is great to see how they self manage their condition. We also have one on our HS football team. He does everything that everyone else in the team does. After the adjustment and the learning curve your grandson will learn to live with this and he will be just fine.

Yes, Ryan is 13.  Thank you so much for your comforting and reassuring comments.  This has really just come as a shock to us all.  

[DaniDanielle]

Debbie, Oasis is my very favorite ship!   There is so much to see and do and eat😁I cannot wait for the family to see this ship.  They have all been on Anthem but there is no comparison, my opinion, others differ.  It will be something to meet in person after over two years of being on this wonderful thread.

Thank you Everyone for the all good wishes for our voyage.       Really excited to meet Marietta and Family and get to explore Oasis😃

This afternoon I received confirmation from Royal that Eric's scooter  we rented will be in our cabin.    He did 1 day of PT this week and was rather sore afterwards.   They suggested he use the scooter if he knows he will be going somewhere with a lot of walking.   If he is just going on short walks or feels comfortable enough then they recommend he use a cane (just in case).     Best not to strain since he is not fully healed yet.  

Well, I for one, would suggest a Kraken Colada, Debbie!  I can attest to how delicious it is, thanks to Greg's suggestion on my past 2 cruises.  Eric's scooter will surely come in handy what with the size of the Oasis!!  I hope he's sleeping better these days?

I think we're all excited for you and Marietta to finally meet while cruising.  Have a blast!!!!!🥰😘

Good that you are staying on top of things. And a 3-4 Martini lunch sounds perfect.

Cheers!!

What’s interesting is my brother had a brain tumor the size of a orange removed a few years ok , he ignored symptoms, luckily he is doing fine now . I discovered mine by accident after a total body mri , I have zero symptoms. Martinis were excellent, we do this for lunch most Fridays .

Thank you, Bonnie.  You are 100% correct.  We surely do ache for our children and grandchildren.  I'm feeling so badly for our daughter to be going through with this with Ryan, also.  We haven't heard anything more since they were being transferred in the ambulance.

 

How is your visit with your daughter and grandchildren?  Hopefully the rain hasn't prevented you all from doing whatever your plans were?

 

How is your PT going??  I "graduated" from my PT yesterday, after going 3x a week for the past 2 months.  They've really helped me a lot, and I am grateful for that.

You should get a BBC schooner bar made the best we were on deck 6 so it was always a short walk for us.

Very good about your brother and hopefully you will be fine.

In 2017 my 41 year old nephew died from a brain tumor.

Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of coconut. I can only handle it if only slight coconut taste.

An excellent whirlwind vacation … A very good time is had by all.

 

Entertaining the grandsons in the kiddie pool.

 

 

 

A Cypriotic evening with traditional dances. Of course I joined in, and one of the dancers decided to dance with me…

 

 

 

 

 

Awesome dancing skills, Dani!💃🏼

Love that radiant smile! 🤩

Looks like you and all of your “boys” are having a memorable vacation.

Family vacations are the BEST! 🥰

I could never eat before a game.  To keyed up to have food rolling around in my stomach.

Tonight we ate 3 hours before the game. He can eat at anytime and play a great game. Doesn’t hold him back.

Owen’s team won 10-4.  Next game at 2pm tomorrow.

 

Lucy this afternoon, looking over her domain. 

 

 

Dinner, medium rare.

I have also seen described as Bailey's Banana Colada.  It is a frozen drink and I do not find it as having a coconut taste. Love them.
