Nikki Weinberg – United Airlines

I found an email in my box about Nikki – she has Ewing’s Sarcoma and I’ve been following her CarePage for over a year. Make a Wish has arranged for her to go to Hawaii, but can only provide a coach seat. Her dad is willing to do anything to get her an upgrade to first class where she would be much more comfortable. So far he has not heard back from United Airlines.

He is asking for a little help to get the friendly sky people to respond and a little help from anyone who can make it easier for Nikki.

Nikki’s CarePage has information and the story of her two-year rugged journey.

UPDATE: United Airlines has provided Nikki and her mother with first class tickets. Her father announced it on the CarePage.

A monday that doesn’t seem like one

President’s Day, so it is Monday and there is no school. The kids had a half-day on Friday. We are up this morning to take Der Bingle’s car in for brakes and then he will head back to Fairborn. No one else is up. Tomorrow at this time I will be dropping Summer off at middle school. I feel right now as if I am in limbo. But, then, my cough has hung on and I wouldn’t mind limbo if it weren’t going to end this day. A few days in a limbo hammock sounds okay, although you have to be careful not to turn on your stomach and wind up with your arms and legs dangling down through the holes.

I am in a grouchy mood this morning.  Better set out flares.
