I LOVE Swahili...and that is my all time fave phrase. Loosely translated it means "craziness or chaos"! And that sums up my life today...

First of all...if we had taken two steps forward in the sleep depot - last night was like two months back! And it showed - grumpy grumpy grumpy - all day long! And I think you & your sister were collaborating! Including at music class!

Didn't help that it was gloomy either. I am SO over gloomy! Seriously...Spring where are you!?!?!?!

Then Bristel and her mystery rash! Dr. Pedi was loathe to rule out chicken pox...but now on day 5 and no crusty scabs (but still new spots popping up) we're convinced we've esacaped that calamity. Still no clue what exactly the rash is though. Grams who was appalled at the thought that it could be flea bites...has now taken up the task of fumigating the kid's room! And the Cinderella gown that your sister lives in...

Toby has a rash too. My word...I thought I left that stuff on the other side of the world! Fifth disease anyone?! **btw Jen...seriously could it have crossed internet waves!?** Good thing Toby looks cute with rosy cheeks!

I spent a good part of the day burning up the phone lines.

Scheduling this...re-scheduling that.

And even though it was really sweet (in a weird my kid has IS kinda way) it just shouldn't be that the whole EEG team hears that I'm on the phone & wants to know how little Trevy Foltz is doing! Specifics even! **again btw Jen...Dr. Neuro agreed with you & we'll be giving him a B-6 injection prior to his next one**

Somewhere between physicals & dentals it was discovered that a very important envelope had never managed to make it into the unsealed position.

My license renewal!

So much for Super Mom...

Ugh! Sooooooo...it took a good coupla hours & a few late fee buckaroos for me to re-legalize. And a couple more to run errands.

Made it home in the nick of time - dinners boiling - you're grumping - Bristel's watching - and the big boys (Daddy & Toby) are Wii"ing" with Grams!

All that and a blog post too!

Hmmmmm...perhaps I CAN qualify for Super Mom?!

I also sfeel like I am going in a million directions. I just can't catch my breath some days.

hmm, not chicken pox, but still a rash... I suppose Fifth's disease could cross internet wires :) But really I find if my kids have something my friends' kids in another state have it around them also. It's weird really when you think about it.

I am glad to hear they are doing the B6 injection. I know this was never even presented as an option for us. I heard about it on the group AFTER we had done a month long trial on the pills. To know we could have saved time would have been NICE!

You know you are in a good place (medical facility) when all people ask about your child. It shows that he's not just a patient!

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...

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...
