My mom broke her leg yesterday and we have a trip to the US booked for in 8 weeks. Dr. says she will be out of her cast by then so that should not be a worry. Mom doesn't want us to cancel this trip and our insurer has given the go ahead and will cover the higher cancellation IF things go wrong medically.

Now how do I go about organizing a wheel chair in Houston? I am a bit worried about her having to stand in a line at immigrations for at least 2 hours and then having to connect to another terminal which might be a bit much for her. Is there a special service department at Houston international or do I have to do that via the airline?

All tips are welcome.

Connection time from International to domestic is just over 4 hours so that should be OK.
