Will pack next weekend. Way too many other things going on here. Monday morning is shipping time for the quilts/programs. Takes several hours in an non-airconditioned warehouse to get everything together.

Laura Billetdeaux CWD Events; Sam's mom; 19, dx'd 8/98  (76.226.129.124) Fri Jun 26 09:02:09 PM EDT 2009
Next week is supposed to be cooler, Brenda - at least 4 hours north of you. Just in the low 70's. This week, an un-AC warehouse would be brutal!
Hey Shar - Good talking to you, too!
Ellen - I arrive a week from Sunday. I have the room list, though... and some people are there already! Vacationing.
John Jareds dad  (71.207.69.163) Fri Jun 26 09:02:12 PM EDT 2009

Any changes to registrations need to be done on site at this point. I've already closed and shipped the database and registration forms. That was the last box to go today!

We aren't selling any tickets on site (for banquet or the Saturday breakfast), but there are usually people who want to sell extras they have. It always works out - we'll have a message board at registration so you can post that you're looking for a ticket.
R NC, Diamond's Mama, 14, dx'd 2003  (98.121.134.126) Fri Jun 26 09:05:14 PM EDT 2009

Laura Billetdeaux CWD Events; Sam's mom; 19, dx'd 8/98  (76.226.129.124) Fri Jun 26 09:08:38 PM EDT 2009
Tues is the Young Adults at the water park day. They are going to Typhoon Lagoon - on their own. I'll have to go online (or someone else can) to see the price of the ticket. We don't get any special deal there. The young adults (ages 18-25) are going over after breakfast. Coming back mid-afternoon. This isn't a teen day - it's for adults 18+. No parents or staff are going.

John - remind me how old Jared is. Depending on the child's age, they bring different items with them. Elementary and childcare do not bring meters. Tweens and teens do. We have glucose in all rooms. We also have CDEs in all rooms. We will check bg if a child doesn't look well or says they don't feel well, and we will come get a parent if a bg is out of range or if a child needs you. We don't hesitate to interrupt a session. Our presenters are used to that.
KarenT Troy's Mom  (71.225.83.124) Fri Jun 26 09:10:56 PM EDT 2009

The email confirmation is for you to bring so that you know what you have paid for. We have a database that shows what you paid for, and we also have the registration forms that you mailed or faxed... so, there are lots of ways to check if there is a question.

For those who haven't been there before, know that Laura is the consummate event planner and there isn't a detail that has been overlooked. They find the parents so quickly when a child needs mom or dad.
Laura Billetdeaux CWD Events; Sam's mom; 19, dx'd 8/98  (76.226.129.124) Fri Jun 26 09:15:16 PM EDT 2009
Hi John - 9 is elementary (older elementary, but still elementary). You keep his meter with you. We will have a meter to check if he needs to be checked... but remember that every 75 minutes you will be picking him up for a snack or lunch... so you can check bg and get food/bev, and do bathroom break, etc. The breaks are 45 minutes and lunch is 90 minutes. Lots of time to take care of everything. Reminder that we do not allow elementary or childcare kids to leave the room without a parent fetching them. So parents Please be on time after sessions!

Carol - Food allergies are noted. Mike is on top of them. If you do feel a need to chat with him, that's fine - I suggest you do it ahead of time... and better yet, email him a quick note to set up a meeting time. His email is mschurig@cwdus.jnj.com There are at least 100 people - probably more - with all kinds of food allergies. Mike is on top of it. He's extremely good at what he does!

Laura, we have been to Disney many times and never had a problem with food alergies. I have no worries there really! I'll send him an email but I think even will be just fine.
Laura Billetdeaux CWD Events; Sam's mom; 19, dx'd 8/98  (76.226.129.124) Fri Jun 26 09:18:59 PM EDT 2009
John - We feed everyone. Snacks will be on big buffet tables outside the exhibit hall. Snacks for 3,000. You pick up your child from their session and go get snack. You figure carbs and give insulin. It's up to you as the parent. For children in childcare (under age 6), we will have a snack buffet for little ones set up right outside childcare. Parents can come and select snack right there and bring it into childcare. That cuts down on the coming in/going out time for childcare which can eat up a lot of break.

Do the 12 year olds keep their meter with them?

We'll have skills stations for injections, pumps, glucose montoring and computer chat skills for all the Grands in our sessions. That grandma can get some information on pump button pushing in the exhibit hall too.

Lots and lots and lots of kids. If your child is nervous about not making a friend... tell them not to be nervous. It is impossible not to make friends at a FFL conference. If your child needs help making a friend, please find me on Tuesday or Weds, and I will introduce you to the group leader and also to a couple of 'old timer' kiddos in that age group - so voila - instant friend to hang out with and meet others. It really does happen quickly. Anyone going to be there on Monday by the pool?
Carol S. Mom of Eric and Ethan 2 type 1s  (74.190.144.5) Fri Jun 26 09:23:08 PM EDT 2009
Eric, he will be in the 12 year old group.

Yes, 12 year old is Tween - Tweens and teens should have their meters with them. Make SURE that you write your name and cell phone number in the meter and tape it down. At the end of the day when we have 25 black cases in lost and found, they all look the same!![]()

Jeff has put in that photo of you, DD, giving Laura the plaid shorts in 2000! They are back in style again. I was tempted to ask all the moms to get some to give Laura (could you imagine her getting 59 pairs of shorts), but I resisted the urge.

No CWD meter cards this year. We will try to bring a box or two of CWD business cards and you can write your info on there and include it in the meter case.

The Thurs and Fri sessions will seat hundreds of people. You do not sign up for those - just go. The Weds groups are Focus Groups - they are very small - some with only a dozen or so people and others with 50 or so... but you DO sign up for those on the Focus Group link. It's on the main conference page. Email me if you can't figure it out easily.

oops -- I go back again on Monday to see if it's still broken. It was at 3 wks. and still hurts. Should I request a room closer to the convention stuff or is it all pretty much the same?
Brenda mom of Marissa, 21, dx'd 9/89  (216.68.227.239) Fri Jun 26 09:43:21 PM EDT 2009
Jennifer, maybe call the hotel and ask for a room close to the convention center, if possible or see if they have a wheelchair???

Laura Billetdeaux CWD Events; Sam's mom; 19, dx'd 8/98  (76.226.129.124) Fri Jun 26 09:43:55 PM EDT 2009
Call the hotel and tell them. They will note your broken ankle on your reservation. I can't call and request for you - you need to do it. 407-939-1020. You know, even the CLOSE buildings aren't that close because the convention center is very spread out. If a person truly needs help getting around, I suggest staying in any building that has a parking spot right near the room, and then drive around the resort to the Convention Center and park right there. It's much easier.

Brenda mom of Marissa, 21, dx'd 9/89  (216.68.227.239) Fri Jun 26 10:02:15 PM EDT 2009
I think you have to arrange for a sitter or such. How old are your kids?
Laura Billetdeaux CWD Events; Sam's mom; 19, dx'd 8/98  (76.226.129.124) Fri Jun 26 10:02:16 PM EDT 2009
We do not have childcare on Weds. Kids can come to some of the groups - those that are labeled "for everyone."

Keila - There are several people in childcare who are fluent in Spanish! Please tell your son not to worry. And lots of our young adult staff are fluent in Spanish, too. They would love to talk to your son.
Brenda mom of Marissa, 21, dx'd 9/89  (216.68.227.239) Fri Jun 26 10:04:01 PM EDT 2009
Laura, can people who need childcare on Wed (short periods of time) post something on the bulletin board or whatever will be at registration? Maybe some of the teens will be available to help out. Our daughter Kathryn watched a few kids one year when a hired sitter failed to show up.
John Jareds dad  (71.207.69.163) Fri Jun 26 10:04:20 PM EDT 2009

Yes, that's fine (posting on the bulletin board). It's also fine to send a note to the FFL mailing list that you are looking for a sitter for a few hours on Weds.
