As always we have much preparation before we travel from Costa Rica to Texas. Besides from my parents trying their best to keep me as healthy as possible we as well have an entire house to pack up just for me. We travel with all my medical equipment, including a portable oxygen machine, aspirator, nebulizer, respiratory vibrator, feeding pump, bags, and syringes and all my medicines is to say are a few things to get together. We typically travel with a couple of extra suitcases so we can come back with medical equipment for me.
I am feeling good and am ready for this trip. I have had my typical bout with seizures bothering me every now and then and as well with some problems with phlegm in my lungs but over all I am well. We are excited about going to Texas and seeing all of our friends and family. It is journey worth every mile we cross and even though it doesn’t get any easier with my size it is worth every moment. I thank God everyday for all my friends and family and for those who continue to support me and help me each step of the way during. Natalia will be joining us this year and she will meet up with us a week before my benefit. I am excited and know this trip is going to be a great one.
We left for San Jose on Friday and we fly out Sunday. My parents always give me a day of rest before we fly and I am grateful for that day. Our trip to San Jose went smoothly and we were at Auntie Krystal’s house by 2pm that afternoon. Now it is just waiting before we board that big bird! Looking forward to seeing you all real soon.
Love Malia xoxo
