goop doggie dog

Part of the "joy" of EEG-days is the mean...heartless...almost inhumane...task of keeping you awake. The best readings are the sleeping readings. Sooooo...I pulled out every trick in the book on the 30+ minute drive to the hospital...and it worked...you were cranky BUT awake!

If it was arctic outside...it was sauna in. But...

we had a different room...and tech today. A change of scenery was nice. And daddy successfully lulled you to sleep. You're so beautiful when you sleep...those eyelashes are to die for. Daddy & I really liked the tech today...he was very thorough & was witness to those "jerky" movements you've been having in your sleep. Even though Dr. H probably won't call until next week (sheesh...vacations!) our amateur deciphering of the squiggles & techie poker faces has us believing that this EEG was not clean. Perhaps even a bit worse.

And for some reason the goop today was really really thick. Usually I try to wash it mostly out - daddy's not a big fan of goop head - but today I left it. You're cute enough to pull of the goop doggie dog style!

We rounded out our EEG field trip with a quick visit with little James & his mom n' dad (he's having tummy surgery tomorrow)

Oh - and btw - after a good deal of suds n' scrubbing...I'm happy to say the goop is gone!

Danielle,

Trevor sure is cute! I really feel for you guys about the sleep issue. We struggled for her first 2 years w/ sleep...but it does get better! Danielle, I am always thinking of you guys, and keeping Trev in our prayers.

Chin up!

Thanks SO much! I was hoping you'd tell me the sleep gets better! He's been having some decent nights...and Jonathan is the one getting up with him...so that helps!

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 was talking about you today

That's right. You. Sitting there glued. To the computer screen. Getting your Trevy fix. You who hasn't been able to tear your eyes away. The one who checks back here gobs of times a day. Hanging on every post. Especially the dripping with drama or funny posts. Because you need to either laugh or cry alternately. Just like me. And somewhere...sometime...somehow...over the course of these past couple years... ...you found yourself here. Reading about me. About my family. About my Trevy. And slowly you were drawn in. Until you couldn't help yourself. You were head over heels. Unashamedly addicted. Maybe we connected in a support forum. Perhaps we're old college friends. I know we have family following. Hi guys! Some teachers and therapists. Maybe even a medical professional or two. Perhaps our kids play ball together. We might be FaceBook friends. Or you could be a friend of a friend. Even a complete stranger. But to us... you each have a very special pla...

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.
