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

No, I don’t know him personally

  I’ve had several emails today asking if I know Mike W. of Marissa’s Bunny personally.    Trevy’s blog was linked on her site.  Although it’s not now.     I’ve posted here and there at his request.  Because…well…we’re a community.  Us IS families.  And Marissa is wicked cute.  Her daddy has a way with words.  Also who wouldn’t want the world to know about an iPad give-away?    But aside from that…I know about as much as you do.    We’ve never met in person.    Our only communication has been cyber.    I’m a ginormous sap and as such would love to believe that all is right.  That the sweet, beautiful families who were promised iPads will be getting them tonight.  Tomorrow at the latest.  That no one has been lied to.  That the personal thank you for your generosity email I sent him on behalf of other IS families I’ve grown to love and was thrilled to learn w...

I tend to be a live out loud kinda girl. But sometimes... well...sometimes life is just so heavy. So intense. So overwhemling. That it brings out the recluse in me. Like lately. The thing is...I know it'll pass. It always does. And I'll learn something. Grow. Hopefully. Survive. Certainly. Because I have to. It's just right now. In this particular heavy moment. I would much rather run away to some tropical paradise and sip martinis until Jonathan calls to tell me Trevy's back at home. Happy. And seizure free. With a new head of curls covering the scar and bouncing around the house. I am a coward after all. I've never denied that. And I really don't want to live through this next month. Which is probably why my posts will be random. At best.

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...
