ARX update

I just couldn't update the blog after the Dr. Genes visit last Friday.


I felt like I'd been hit by a bus. A really really BIG bus. It takes time to recover from something like that!


::smile::


And the thing is...we're still in an if-y zone anyway. Waiting to hear back on Toby's labs. If Toby's test reads positive...the same as Trevy's...then this will all be a very-scary but very-moot coincidence.



Dr. Genes spent over an hour explaining to me why she doesn't believe that will be the case.



And yet because it could be the case...



I mean how many odds has Trevor blown up already? What's one more? Soooooo like I was saying...because it could be the case...I'm waiting to worry until I know for sure.

I'm praying for you guys. i agree, it's really best not to worry about things until you know something definite to worry about! This coming from the world's biggest worry wart, i can give advice much better than I take it! Please let us know what you find out. big {{HUGS}}

I am HATING blogger today!

Anyway, what I have tried to say, like 4 times is that because theya re looking for one specific mutation for Toby, his test and results should be quick.

No matter what, remember, they still know so little about genetics. Just becuase some variations on the ARX gene are "bad" doesn't mean Trevy is going to be like those cases. Let him prove himself his own way!

I second that! I have tried commenting like 3x's from my phone and it just keeps pooping out!

I feel ya sweetie! Dr. Genes is our next appt. I am starting to go numb to all of it. I feel like they are not going to tell me anything I'm not already prepared for. Either I passed TSC to the kids, it's spontaneous or it's something that they've never seen anyone else have.

The fact of the matter is, K&T are still doing pretty awesome despite all these obstacles. Which makes them both heros!

Hang in there sweetie! You guys sound strong and hopeful, from the sounds of your latest post. Stay strong. I will be praying for you guys. I hope Boston will uncover the answers you are looking for.

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 was talking about you today

That's right. You. Sitting there glued. To the computer screen. Getting your Trevy fix. You who hasn't been able to tear your eyes away. The one who checks back here gobs of times a day. Hanging on every post. Especially the dripping with drama or funny posts. Because you need to either laugh or cry alternately. Just like me. And somewhere...sometime...somehow...over the course of these past couple years... ...you found yourself here. Reading about me. About my family. About my Trevy. And slowly you were drawn in. Until you couldn't help yourself. You were head over heels. Unashamedly addicted. Maybe we connected in a support forum. Perhaps we're old college friends. I know we have family following. Hi guys! Some teachers and therapists. Maybe even a medical professional or two. Perhaps our kids play ball together. We might be FaceBook friends. Or you could be a friend of a friend. Even a complete stranger. But to us... you each have a very special pla...

runaway

I tend to be a live out loud kinda girl. But sometimes... well...sometimes life is just so heavy. So intense. So overwhemling. That it brings out the recluse in me. Like lately. The thing is...I know it'll pass. It always does. And I'll learn something. Grow. Hopefully. Survive. Certainly. Because I have to. It's just right now. In this particular heavy moment. I would much rather run away to some tropical paradise and sip martinis until Jonathan calls to tell me Trevy's back at home. Happy. And seizure free. With a new head of curls covering the scar and bouncing around the house. I am a coward after all. I've never denied that. And I really don't want to live through this next month. Which is probably why my posts will be random. At best.
