why the sad face?

Another week - another stinkin' ear infection! Ugh! Dr. Pedi says the worst yet. And referred us to an ENT - which astonishingly had an appointment open for tomorrow afternoon! Maybe we'll have tubes in before your 1st birthday?!?! At least then I wouldn't have to worry if you're not responding to your name because you have fluid in your little ears! Although the other reason isn't any better.

I have no idea why I have that goofy grin on my face either! You look like death warmed over!
----
Oh...and Bristel has very suspicous looking spots on her tummy. It's been awhile...but I'm thinking chicken pox! Ugh...again! Although I was thinking if she has them...and you get them...then maybe that'll solve at least one of my vax concerns?! Anyway...I'll know shortly since the doctor just called & wants to take a peek.
----
Since the top pic was SO sad...I thought I'd add this one of you looking happy & cute & if one looks really hard very much like you want to get into something! Which is a good thing. A very good thing! So explore away my little monkey man!

Hi Danielle! It's Sara, Jenn's sis.

I have a really good book on vaccinations that I can recommend. It's The Vaccine Guide by Randall Neustaedter http://tinyurl.com/222gwy

He breaks down each vax by chapter and writes in easy to read regular language. This book has been really helpful for us since we delay/selectively vax.

I have you added to my blog reader, sorry I don't comment, I'll try to say hi more often!

Praying for you guys,
Sara

Thanks Sara!

I know Dr. Sears has a book out too...I keep meaning to check at the library...but sometimes I think if my brain in-takes one more itty bitty piece of info it'll EXPLODE! But now that he's almost one...I really need to start researching so I can sound intelligent when speaking with medical professionals! :O)

btw...it's comforting to know that friends are following Trev's story! It means a lot just knowing that you're visiting...saying *hi* is just icing! :o)

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...
