Balkov Family Revisited/Transcript

Jo Returns
Sylvia: "When he was 2 1/2, T.K. made a wish to go to Walt Disney World for his 3rd birthday. The wish granters at the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Wyoming provided the family a limousine ride to the airport to fly us to Orlando, and the foundation even arranged T.K.'s nurse, Kelsey to come along. He felt right at home at Give Kids the World Village, where the family stayed in the villa especially for us. It's a 51-acre nonprofit resort that provides accommodations, attraction tickets, and meals for children like T.K., with life-threatening illnesses and their families that visit the central Florida attractions. The little one was so excited about the ice cream parlor, the train, and the carousel. We spent the first day at Disney's Magic Kingdom and went on 27 rides, such as Thunder Mountain Railroad, Splash Mountain and It's a Small World. Of course, no trip would be complete without meeting the characters, such as Pluto, Goofy and Mickey Mouse. We also went to Epcot, Disney's Animal Kingdom and Disney's MGM Studios."

Chris: "T.K. even enjoyed the VIP treatment at SeaWorld. When T.K.'s birthday came, the whole group -including the Santa Claus at Give Kids the World Village, sang 'Happy Birthday' to him."
