Wow, I hadn't realized that your level of disability had become so profound. I'm sorry to learn that. But, if you're used to flying in a party of 9 and keeping them all together, you probably know more tricks about flying than I ever have! Do you all normally just fly charter or commercial?

We had 8 in our family and my parents split us up deliberately with each of them, some jibber jabber about being easier to control us.

This is so cool! I would love to be able to vacation with my mom in some of the places she used to love to visit! This would make it so much easier. We flew her for an emergency trip to Boston last year but it was very difficult and very nervewracking. Think of me deadlifting my mom into and out of an airplane seat. Not a pretty sight. The people who are developing this idea are angels!

We don't fly anymore because it's just to hard. It's hard on me to begin with and than to control the kids also. The last trip was just DH and I 1 1/2 years ago to Jamaica and I got over heated both times, had to take a lot of pain meds for the trip home. I was so weak and shaking after each plain trip and than was 2 down there and 2 back that it toke a full day to feel well enough to move around. So DH said next trip I'm using a wheel chair, that it was just to hard on my body. And now we know why it hurts so bad to stand and why I can't walk fast.

Oh we have never done charter, only commercial.
