holiday time

Sunday 12/9/07

14 days SF now! And we're celebrating every one! You've had trouble sleeping lately. I'm not sure if it's the meds - or just your natural curiosity? You are quite nosey! I've enjoyed rocking you though, my little snuggle bug. I love the way your little eyes droop when I rub your head. That's always been your thing - ever since the day you were born!

You were exceptionally happy today!

Friday 12/7/07

You had a date with Grams tonight. She says you were too cute when she was rocking you to sleep. You'd be all snuggled up and she'd think you were sleeping - but when she looked down at you you'd shine your 2 1/2-toothy grin at her. Your Grams loves you!
You saw your first snow too! You were already jammied-up...but I wanted you to go out in it so I wrapped you tight in a coat & blankets. The joy and wonder on your face made us cry!
Daddy & I took your brother & sister to see Santa - and finish up Christmas shopping. Bristel loved it - Toby said he was too big for Santa (but the truth is...he was too scared! Toby has always been a chicken like that! That's part of what makes him Toby - and we love it!).

Hey there! Glad you are all doing okay, especially baby Trevor. When are you going back to Tanzania?

Honestly, we're just taking things one day at a time. Our neuro said he'll give us the all clear sometime near the end of Feb - as long as Trev's seizures don't return. For right now, though, we're just breathing & praying!

danielle,

Love the blog. It makes me laugh and cry. The Toby and Santa is a real chuckler. I thank the Lord daily for blessing us with wonderful grandchildren. (children too). Even though Trevor is doing so well the reality of it all is still there. I am so happy to have you so close to home during this time. I Love you Mom

I cried when I got the news

I felt like such a heel not going with Trevy for his first post hemi EEG. Yeeeeeees...Jonathan went with him. Yeeeeeees...he's just as good as me. But still! He's my baby! I was instead sitting on floor 6 east waiting for Neurology to get their boots here and help me sort out this medicine mess! Seriously it's like a bad joke...how many Neurologists does it take to write a bloody script? And fax prior authorizations? Cause Trevy's been back for hours now. And I'm STILL waiting! Anyway... Jonathan had just stepped out to meet the pizza delivery guy when Dr. EEG made his rounds. Of course I asked immediately if he had read the EEG. Of course he had. That's why he was there afterall. And I cried when he told me... that for the first time in almost two years. For the first time since this whole crazy mess began. my baby's EEG is completely normal! Side Note: It's super fun to sob in front of Japanese men and watch them squirm When I kept repeati...

I sure hope...

they grow back curly! Saw the "unknown" flashing on the face of my cell phone and knew who it was. Who it had to be. Dr. Fellow. My eyes met Grams' and I nodded. Grams has a pool, see. For super hot days like today. We're also having a septic installed. Which meant no water or facilities at my place. But those weren't really the reasons I was there. Close to mom. The purple ringing thing in my hand was. Only I wasn't prepared for it to be ringing SO darn soon. Shortly after lunch instead of dinner! I swallowed. Took a deep breath. And clicked connect. Dr. Fellow has a very nice phone tone. Clear. Hint of compassion. If only a stitch of humor were added...it'd be heavenly. But there was no humor. Just business. He's very direct. I'm learning that about him. Which explains his short hello. Followed by immediately pushing into the news. Being that it was a unanimous consensus. The entire surgical committee feels Trevor is a good candidate. And then p...

it's like being asked to the prom...

only MUCH MUCH bigger! I had noticed (yes...I stalk my site meter!) that a government ISP had logged onto Trevor's blog. Whoever it was had spent a good deal of time hanging out too. Followed a few minutes later by a government ISP...hailing from Washington. As in DC! My eyebrow raised. It was just kinda odd. Note-able odd. You know? Anyway...later that day (last week) I was folding laundry & thinking my crazy insane thoughts. Along these lines... I hope I'm not saying anything I shouldn't! Maybe I made somebody mad? Wait a minute! I live in America! I'm allowed to say anything I want! Aren't I???? A shout from the other room interrupted my thoughts before I had a chance to further mull. It was Jonathan. I had just received an email. **Side note...he's always doing that! Reading my emails! Sheesh!*** The said email was from a US Senator's aide! Asking if he could speak with me. Little ole' hardly has time to splash some make-up on ...
