speaking of specimens...

The scene:

I walk into the dining room & find Bristel surrounded by (empty!) specimen containers.

Me : Bri-bee whaddya doing?

Bristel : Building Cinderella's Castle!


Okay...so you know you have a sick kid...on a dangerous med...when you have enough poopy-collectors around for your daughter to build a fairly decent replica of Cinderella's Castle with them!

My neuro ordered test kits for us to do the testing ourselves. It was much better than storing poop and taking it somewhere. LOL. It's a very easy test and you know right away if there's a problem.

Glad to hear everything seems to be going relatively well. I hope the Zonegran or ACTH starts to do the trick.

Bristel is always good for a laugh! Cute AND funny...deadly combo for high school!

Erin...hard to believe I know...but we can not find those kits anywhere around here! Even with a script...not even at a medical supply store! The closest we found is for the elderly...and it's $20 for two cards! We'll just collect & drop at the lab for free! *smile*

hmm...we did ketones (urine) for Kay. We didn't have to collect any poopies.

Maybe u can send one to Questcor? Like a fecal-gram? Teehee. Sorta like Sharon's cup cakes in a jar, but for someone you don't like!

Glad Bristol has found another way to have fun with them.

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...

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...
