Foundation Fame

A heart-felt thanks to the Epilepsy Foundation for extending an invitation my way to participate in yesterday's historic FDA hearing.

And for providing me an all expense covered journey there & back.

And for this article posted on your website. I'm thrilled you used the cute picture. Of me. Toby might be complaining someday!

Wow!
I'm so PROUD of you Danielle. Way to go!!
I forwarded the article to my contacts at our local Epilepsy office as I thought it's good awareness for all of us Canadians about the difference in systems and how lucky we are sometimes to be under our flawed system.
The use of Vig was close to us. We almost had to make that decision as we were told if the meds Bup is on don't work (it took a while to get the right doseage but they are working) Vig was our last option other than Nuerosurgery and we would have to wait a yr for surgery. It's scary. But we all have to way the pros & cons, make the best decision possible and do what we can to help our little men (in our case, little men). You and your charming husband are doing wonderfully in exercising all the best options for Trevor. That is worth so much more than words can say. It's hard and emotional and there's often second guessing...but one day we'll all receive the honoray medical degrees we deserve and have acquired by fire!:)
You're fabulous, Danielle! Keep care.

Love it! You rock!! {{HUGS}}

My first thought, when I saw the picture was... at least Toby is young enough not to care :)

I cried when I got the news

I felt like such a heel not going with Trevy for his first post hemi EEG. Yeeeeeees...Jonathan went with him. Yeeeeeees...he's just as good as me. But still! He's my baby! I was instead sitting on floor 6 east waiting for Neurology to get their boots here and help me sort out this medicine mess! Seriously it's like a bad joke...how many Neurologists does it take to write a bloody script? And fax prior authorizations? Cause Trevy's been back for hours now. And I'm STILL waiting! Anyway... Jonathan had just stepped out to meet the pizza delivery guy when Dr. EEG made his rounds. Of course I asked immediately if he had read the EEG. Of course he had. That's why he was there afterall. And I cried when he told me... that for the first time in almost two years. For the first time since this whole crazy mess began. my baby's EEG is completely normal! Side Note: It's super fun to sob in front of Japanese men and watch them squirm When I kept repeati...

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's like being asked to the prom...

only MUCH MUCH bigger! I had noticed (yes...I stalk my site meter!) that a government ISP had logged onto Trevor's blog. Whoever it was had spent a good deal of time hanging out too. Followed a few minutes later by a government ISP...hailing from Washington. As in DC! My eyebrow raised. It was just kinda odd. Note-able odd. You know? Anyway...later that day (last week) I was folding laundry & thinking my crazy insane thoughts. Along these lines... I hope I'm not saying anything I shouldn't! Maybe I made somebody mad? Wait a minute! I live in America! I'm allowed to say anything I want! Aren't I???? A shout from the other room interrupted my thoughts before I had a chance to further mull. It was Jonathan. I had just received an email. **Side note...he's always doing that! Reading my emails! Sheesh!*** The said email was from a US Senator's aide! Asking if he could speak with me. Little ole' hardly has time to splash some make-up on ...
