random-nings

I survived...







what felt like FOREVER without the internet!





******************



We're nestling in quite nicely. The living areas are all put in proper order. The basement on the other hand...





...I wouldn't look if I were you!





*******************





Just in time to pack my bags and head to DC too!



Wish me luck tomorrow. I'm tempted to get sauced at the airport...



Have you seen the forecast (ice n' rain) in these parts. For a freaky flyer...it's not nerve reinforcing! But I hear a nice glass of Chardonnay is!





::wink::





******************



Trevy did the funniest thing yesterday.







He closed the closet door on Toby...





...and said...





Bye!





I'd swear he knew what he was doing!





*********************





Evidently moving inspires seizures...





...any hope we had in Vigabatrin is gone at this point. We're weaning the Zonegran. And Dr. Neuro wants to add Clonapan





*********************



We had two *home owner* experiences already.



1) I came home and the furnace was off. And I couldn't get the darn thing back on.





Did you know those things come with reset buttons????





Me neither!





Ha...the things you learn for $90 service fees!





2) My (it's new...I promise) dryer also stopped working. But Jonathan...all intent on being home owner-y...broke out the manual and figured out that the problem was the belt.



And sure enough...





...one entirely dismantled dryer later...





...we found a busted belt!





I'm pleased to say he got it back together with only one or two left over screws!





I think.





He's actually still (where I abandoned him) in the basement...and I'm hearing loud banging noises...





**********************



I'll catch up on emails...and blogs...and such next week!





Until then...



xoxoxo





***********************



Hmmmmm....





...and evidently all is not well with the dryer saga.





I just heard my name bellowed from the under-regions!





Better go help!

Love this post ;), so you! I missed you. I know I have also been bloglazy lately. Mark has been rebuilding my laptop, so I haven't had that much access to it over the past few days. Hope all goes well in DC. Kick some bootay! Have a glass of Chard for me.

Good luck doing battle with the dryer! We also had a busted belt in our old one, but it was definitley time for a new set. It should be under warranty.

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...
