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!

a different kind of muscle — guardianship process

  To all the parents who have walked through the guardianship process — my heart is with you. Our paperwork is prepped and ready to submit this week. He turns 18 on April 3rd. I've been thinking about this for a year now, but only just mustered the energy to move forward — the loom of his birthday my propellant. Overwhelm has paralyzing effect. I'm struggling to recall the last time I didn't feel overwhelmed. It struck me how all these years of walking through disability beside Trevor should have made me stronger and yet... I suppose it's a different kind of muscle being developed.

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...

the great answer hunt in the land of Infantile Spasms

If I've said it once... I've thought it a million times more. How it's like the more I research...and discover...about IS. The more blurry everything becomes. For every answer found. A dozen questions are unearthed. Remember our whole ARX saga ? Yeah...that threw me for a loop. So much so...that I never went on to post the end of the story. Thus far... See...the unbelievable in the world of genes happened. Because this is IS-ville after all. After Dr. Genes sampled Trevy's ARX gene on a whim...a whim which revealed an unkown (meaning the first time this specific change was found) mild mutation...she proceeded to send Toby's blood off to mad scientist central. With assurances that this was totally unnecessary . She was convinced that Trevor's ARX mutation was the underlying cause of his Infantile Spasms. And that Typical Toby...would prove to be just that. Typical...at least in all areas mutate-able. And yet...Toby's ARX blood sample revealed THE SAME MIL...
