Updating for everyone that is asking how things are going. :)
It sounds like Brett and Graham are doing great and really enjoying their time together. They have the suitcase back and I think Brett was really looking forward to some clean clothes (and a razor!).
Graham had a difficult time on the flight. He was very scared by the noise when they took off. Brett managed to distract him a bit with some goldfish crackers during the takeoff. When they were able to get out of their seats Brett brought him to the back of the plane where Graham spent the next 2 hours crying. It sounds like the other passengers were very nice about it and were smiling and talking to him. After that, every time that Brett tried to sit down Graham would start crying again, so they ended up spending the first 4 hours of the flight at the back of the plane. He finally sat down with Brett and fell asleep about a half hour later.
During the landing Graham got sick. By the time they got to the hotel he still wasn't interested in eating anything, but he looked happy and like he was feeling better. Poor thing. :( I can't even imagine what is going thru his head with everything he has experienced in the last few days!
I know Brett was already being considered for the father of the year award, but I'm pretty sure he will be taking the prize after this. He has been so patient thru everything.
Please pray for their trip home. They have 3 flights on Saturday. Pray that Graham won't get sick again and that he will be more calm about flying this time.
Is there anything you can give someone his age for motionsickness? I know that I take stuff everytime I fly otherwise I get sick. I don't think it is always just the motionsickness but also the fear etc- it seems to help it all for me...yet I STILL don't sleep urgh! Praying that it goes well! You will get to see them SO SOON!
ReplyDeleteI'll be praying! This is the reason my husband does NOT want to come on the pick up trip :) Sounds like Brett is handling it well!
