tea party anyone?

So...here it is. B.E.A.M. day. For so long it's been looming...now it's just one more sunset away!


I'm not exactly sure why I have butterflies in my tummy? But there they are...tumbling around making me nauseous. Feel free to analyze!

::smile::

I think I already mentioned that Dr. Neuro also referred us for a 2nd opinion with her mentor - from Boston Children's. He not only agreed...but freed up a slot just for Trev! How great is that?! Plus...we have a whole hour & a half. Just him. Us. And Trevor's chubby charts. My heart is really hoping he'll have some advice or ideas outside of what we already know?


We were tossing around the idea of taking the big kids with...and making it a family day. There are lots of cool things to do in the big B. Buuuuut...with it being such a long day & Pop-pop on the mend...Grams offered to keep them for us instead. (Jen...I'll pick your brain next time!) Have I mentioned that I love my mom! Couldn't do this without her? Surely not enough...


Soooo...now we wait. Til' tomorrow.

I love you, too. Thank you for blessing me with such wonderful grandchildren. I am the most blessed Grams in the whole world.

I had one of those "butterflies in my tummy" day today too. Ugh...I hate those days. So glad it's over. Good luck with the B.E.A.M. study tomorrow. I'll be thinking about you all.

Wish I had seen this last night. I hope the BEAM goes well. It's really an easy test. You sit ina little box and they have all sorts of sensory stuff around you. They will want Trev to sleep for part of it and then wake him with strobes. The strobes are obnoxious, but necessary.

Well this is all for naught since you'll be back by the time you see it. Hope it goes well. I'll be anxious to hear all about it when you get back. Remind me are you seeing Dr B or Dr T? I truly can't remember. Oh wait maybe you said Dr D? He's the one I don't know.

Anyway, hope it was a good day! Did Tev like the ball machine in the lobby?? I have a hard time getting Austin away from it!

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 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...

it ain't sexy livin' on an island...

Especially when you have to cross bridges to get ANYWHERE. Very LARGE bridges. The crests of which I inevitably get stuck at. Speaking of...why is it that at the tippity tops of our bridges...the railings always open up? To reveal an eagle's eye view of the white capped depths below? I HATE that. And sure enough...in route to Dr. Pedi yesterday...they must have seen me coming cause traffic ground to a halt at the top of the Mt. Hope Bridge. Where I felt less than Hope-ish. My palms gushing my nerves onto the steering wheel for a good 15 (felt like forever) minutes. Not just things medical bring out my cowardly lion. Heights do too! Anyway... Grabbed an iced coffee and chocolate cream filled to settle my nerves on the way. And we arrived on time...in one piece. Of course. Dr. Sick-Visit-Pedi breezed in chart in hand. Glanced down. Then at Trevy. Then said... "He has a history of Infantile Spasms?" Surprise and speculation in her voice. We get that a lot. It...
