maybe he'll grow out of it?

The constant...


every other month...


persistant...


stinkin'...


ear infections!


That's right. Trevor has yet another ear infection. I think that makes 10 since last November? Almost one a month! But I am hoping this explains why we've seen such an increase in seizures. The worst part is...because he has tubes they won't just give him an oral antibiotic. Noooooooo...we have to waste 48 hours trying the ear drop method. Which has never worked for Trevor. Ugh!


So wish us luck in the sleep depot tonight!


Cause the night wakings of a seizure ridden kid...


...are nothing compared to that of an ear infected kid!

Don't you just feel like saying to the World..."WhatwhatWHATWHATWHAAAAAATTTTTTTT!!??? Stop already!"
Not everyone is a believer...but have you considered stopping dairy and trying a pediatric chiropractor? This was a Godsend for our W as he was having recurrent ear infections and once we stopped dairy and had the chiro visits once a week for about about a month, they were cleared up and he hasn't had one for months now. I think our chiro's website has info about it www.drformoms.ca
It's worth considering or checking into. Not everyone believes in chiro for kids but it has made such a big difference for ours. They've been going since birth.
Hope your little monkey has some relief tonight and you all get some sleep!

Bless your heart! Hopefully that is why his seizures have been so rotten lately. I wished I lived closer too...I'd take the 3am shift when Connor normally wakes up and wanders into our room or plays in the living room in the dark. hang in there! Feel better soon trevy!!

WTH? Is it just me, or does it seem like there has been a dark cloud hovering? Maybe these tough times will make us appreciate and enjoy the upcoming holidays more. Hang in there sweetie! We love ya.

I would look in to the diet, as M said. There are a lot of options for replacing dairy. We have Javi on the GFCF for diff reasons, but have noticed a huge change in him. He's also having less intestinal issues. It's also not as hard as we thought it would be. Just takes more planning.

Get some rest!

Aw poor Trevy!! I can sympathize. I had ear infection upon ear infection upon ear infection when I was his age. I had tubes put in my ears also and I know they are definitely no picnic. I can't remember how old I was when they were removed...but the good news is, well for me it was, that after they were removed, I NEVER HAD ANOTHER EAR INFECTION IN MY LIFE!!! (knocks on wood cuz I know I'll just jinx myself now) :)

Hope Trevy feels 110% better soon and that you get some rest!!! {HUGS}

oh and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! Put some cottonballs in his ears when he goes trick or treating tonight!!! Will keep the chill out!

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...
